Self Portrait Sec 3 Assignment

Self Portrait

This self portrait was done when i was Sec 3 with charcoal. Looking back, i think i would like to evaluate it and just give some simple comments.~

Here it is!!! <3 

I think overall its not too good nor is it too bad. One thing is the eyes. From far and at a glance, it looks fine. However, if you look at it for a longer period of time, it kind of look like this dark hole waiting to take you in and its a bit scary for a happy self portrait. There can also be more obvious highlights on the hair so that it is not only plain old solid black hair. The shadows on the face seems a little unnatural and that should be worked on, same as the clothing where the soft smooth characteristics of the cloth was not well illustrated. The shadow on the left shoulder is also too dark compared to the rest of the drawing. And overall, the face should be lighter too~ 

Well thats all~ maybe i shall take these into consideration and do another self portrait soon!!
