Did you consider the fact that maybe I'm wojak.

Do you take a picture of yourself and then copy it or are you looking in a mirror?

>>2386367
mirror if you can, photo if you have to

>>2386367
Whatever, you could also try to draw yourself from memory, it would actually be pretty interesting to see how all three would look side by side. First do from memory, then from a mirror and finally do one from a photo.

really push lighter with the reflected light on his face, it will make the facial forms fell less flat.
and maybe consider changing the background color to give greater contrast, i assume this is a digital piece

since i usually draw stylized things i suck at this and tend to not be good for expressing my features correctly. i didn't use ref because i find myself ugly as fuck. i really hate going through my old photos only to wonder what ever went wrong with myself. ... >never slept properly nor eat properly and spent time doodling way too much animu shit back then as a teen

>>2386264
really cool style. you could develop that into your own style. good marks and understanding of form i think. maybe too much emphasis on the eye? that's the most uncanny part for me.

of course, clean up the lines if you want

>>2386993
Why are you copying photos m8?

>>2386996
Because i cant get my face right when im not copying photos.
I need more practice with a mirror and stuff :/

>>2386896
i like this shit, give more color to that sock lol

>>2387000
>Because i cant get my face right when im not copying photos.
That's a really good reason to stop copying photos.
You can use a photo as reference, but don't copy it, it comes out so much better if you take the forms from it and apply a good perspective to them.

>>2387010
Thanks, will do!
I think that is why this was boring to do.
Next time i will use a mirror then, or use a reference and mix it with looking at a mirror.

>>2386896
Nose is kinda off, the rest looks interesting

>>2387010

"I'm not able to do this" is one of the best reasons to do it when it comes to art

try painting from a mirror i think it will benefit you as an artist more.

if for some strange reason you don't have a mirror i suggest taking and using a photo that is a more natural stance.

>>2385701
only had 4h pencil, have been keeping others at hand now...
>>2386254
it does look like shit, and I know what to work on. Sometimes I do want people to tear my work apart, but the prerequisite is that I am vaguely satisfied with the result and I'm not sure what to focus on.

One foot in front of the other.

what a hubbub- in the future I will ask for critique OR not say anything.

>>2386869
No idea who that is but I can be him for you bby

what even the point of doing self portraits from photos? might as well study some good looking faces from them, not your own ugly abbomination, senpaitachi

John Singer Sargent looks quite a lot like Gavin McInnes particularly in that painting. I never noticed before.

When you are painting something complex like a face, in your mind are you breaking it down into 2 dimensional shapes of various tone?

Work on your edges. It'll improve you quite a bit. It seems like you were trying to be moderately quick with your study, but even some simple edge control would take this to a higher level.

aw your adorable! do you have any traditional work? this is really good

>>2394320
D'aww thank you! Most traditional work I do nowadays is basic pencil illustration, I've not got the patience for paints anymore. I really need to get around to scanning stuff tho, nothing good quality to show rn..

>>2394338
>I've not got the patience for paints anymore
me neither. that's why i spend most of my time learning to draw quickly so when I do a painting I can finish it in a few hours.

working in thick paint without using mediums might get you back into it. anything that takes multiple days usually loses my attention.

>>2394348
Ironically I prefer oil paints to all others so I'm screwed really. I like tinkering with stuff but if I let it go on too long I find I never finish it, just keep fucking with it.

Been meaning to try watercolours tho, they seem like the ultimate way to understanding colour.

>>2394369
im making it up as i go along like everyone else but i've been focusing on working in black and white and hoping if i do it enough it'll help me recognize colors just from their values a bit easier.

Are you male or female?
It looks like you used black for shading. The shadows are really ugly and the colors are the same throughout the face. Add some variation to that. Also, such strictly centered front view portraits only work well under certain creative circumstances which you didn't meet. You did a simple study.

It's not terrible, probably one of the best ones here, but it's not great either, just keep at it.

I'm normally pretty bad at self portraits, but this one mostly looks like me.
There's probably a ton of mistakes I'm not seeing with my sleep deprivation goggles on right now.

>>2388911
lookin real edgy m8 but i love that eyebrow expression.
>>2400751
this looks half-assed. thanks to the contrast of the blob of one color hair and then the defined face. you need to draw from life. this is too much like a "selfie" photograph. tl;dr tacky and unfinished
>>2405500
adorable - love that highlight on the nose. great skin tones. the only thing id fix is adding a few stray strands of hair to prevent your hair from looking like a wig and for your torso to be much bigger. look at a skeleton. great tho

>>2386993

I did this recently with very little motivation to actually draw. It's one of the first exercises in drawing on the right side of the brain. I thought doing the book would make me feel like drawing again, but I just forced this one and stopped a few pages later.

>>2411295
It gets better with time. Might even learn how to tolerate how you look.

>>2411414
I admire the courage it must have taken you to post this terrible drawing.

try not to cut yourself off the page when you are working on a self portrait. If you want that look just draw the whole thing and then cut off the rest.

It will always be so much harder when you don't have the other side of you're face for reference.

Maybe once you master the self portrait you will be good enough to cut off part of the face like that. But not yet.

>>2402696
nice man we got the like same hair cut. I'm pretty sure I'm following you btw

>>2403885
really good. you have both skills and x-factor.

I've tried alot of different stuff. A month ago I took so many different drugs my doctor told me I was lucky to be alive.. Although I sometimes smoke weed I smoke mostly hash. Don't know whether you know what it is but regardless it's basically the same plant just processed a bit different. Usually, if the quality is good, you get more Stoned than high.
I turn into a retard and fuck my life up though. I'm struggling with the same thing as you are now. One-two days off and relapse. Now I've relapse again. I'ts hard.. Hope you manage to beat the adiction man! :)

Why do girls always say shit like this? I've never heard a man say "can you not." And just ignore it, you don't have to get all upset that someone likes the idea of girls being in his community.

Has it only been a month since I saw you in the progress thread? Actually wait no it was a while back and I think you only had flat colors.

Either way, you've kind of been my motivation to keep practicing.

>>2407396

I'm hella pleb but the lighting feels off. I can't articulate how because it isn't majorly off.

I think it'd be cool if you made a less painterly version of this. maybe even make a process vid of it and turn it into a neato gif of your face going from painterly to soft.

>>2425729
Start looking at shapes and forms, not what you think you're looking at, anon. Everything looks smudgy because you're not defining a solid light source, and the already badly constructed face looks even wider because there's no breathing space. Give me two hours or so, I can point our a couple of more things once I'm done with class. Keep trying!

>>2425741
Thanks.
Meantime i've fixed some things, mostly light and dark contrasts but I guess I'll wait a bit. I use a mirror thats pretty close to me btw.
>badly constructed
my feels. I used basic Loomis loosely for the basic proportions, but I drew everything at an angle, not straight forward, so it looks better when you tilt the top backwards.
I try to make a self-portrait erry evening, this is my second one. All criticismus are welcome

the human face has a lot of complex forms fitting into one another. You need to learn how to draw basic forms before you start doing more complex things
