Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think it looks great!. I'd rate it an eight!. Maybe a possible nine!. It just seems like something is missing!. Maybe more facial detail is needed!? Shading!? More definition on the arms/hands!?
Anyways, I love how the nose looks!. I always have trouble drawing noses!. This is very pretty and even kind of inspiring!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a good basic portrait!. You are on your way to becoming a skilled artist! Keep up the good work! Wihout knowledge of where you started in art, I cannot offer a rating scale, but you have either a) natural talent or b) developing skill!. Please continue!

Suggestion: do not rework this portrait!. Keep it exactly as it is!. Date it somewhere!. Do another version of this same portrait, using shading to develop depth (darker-further away, lighter-closer to the viewer)!. You can hatch, cross hatch, side shade, etc to deepen shadows, etc!. A kneaded eraser can be used to lift color for highlights, ebony pencils or charcoal can be used to deepen the darkest dark!.!.!.!.Another version could be done in pen and ink, varying the line widths for interest, or try colored pencils or chalk!.!.!.!.or pastel! Do many! You will only improve your skills and everyone will benefit-you, by becoming a better artist and the general public, by having a new artist to view and collect!

It's pretty good, but basic!.!.!.maybe that's how you meant it to be!. I suggest you use a softer pencil, like 2-4B!. And use a greater range of tones!. I think your technical drawing skills are very good, but you need to observe shade and light more!. Pay more attention to shadow on your face because it adds a lot more depth to you drawing and makes it so much more realistic!. also, do not use such sharp outlines on hair and iris of the eye!. Without the outlines, the portrait would look more realistic!. And besides, shading rather than outlining looks more professional!.!.!.but you obviously are talented!.!.!.well done!! :P
oh!.!.!.rating!.!.!.!.7-8/10Www@QuestionHome@Com

8, the self portrait is very beautiful i love the eyes!
but you should show the picture you used to copy it to tell, so we could really tell if you needed anything improved!.

you might also want to try holding your picture faced to a mirror and see if you can tell anything needs imorovement, looking at your drawing from a different perspective always helps me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
