Self Portrait (cont)

Just updating with more progress on my self portrait. It still needs some work. I'm not completely happy with the current state of the hair and the trousers and feet need some work, as does the camera arm. Otherwise I'm very happy with it! It all just worked straight away. I've never painted body hair or facial hair or eyebrows and my last attempts at head hair and eyebrows were a dreadful blobby affair.

I have a summer project to finish next which I need to think about planning and completing before I continue with any more painting. I do really want to carry on experimenting with the pattern fields and grids as soon as I can really.
