It's been awhile since I've done a self portrait. Usually doing quick sketches while looking in a mirror, today I decided to use a photograph and do one that is more involved than usual. A couple of my students have been working on graphite portraits from photographs. So, I decided that it was time for me to do one to show them. I took a "selfie" to use as reference. Quite a revelation for me to discover wrinkles that I normally wouldn't notice or give any attention!

I like that. I've been toying around with doing a self-portrait myself. It may not be this year either.
