Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You have done a really nice self-portrait!. Your values are good, and they model the form and volume very well!. However, you have committed a couple of very common drawing errors that we all do when we are doing portraits of self or others !. !. !. !. the ears are not level, and the angle of the eyes is ever-so-slightly off, making the nose, which I believe is straight and centered well, look like it is off!. See how the nose appears to veer to our left, and the frenulum (the dip just above the lip) appears to go in the other direction!?

I do not know your age or experience, but this is indicative of the ability to do some very nice work!. Keep it up!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You forgot to post a link!.
Edit
Ta for link, I like your self portrait very much, it is very well drawn and worth waiting for, and much better than your first one, the sepia tone is beautiful, although I imagine it is pastel not charcoal which I thought only came in black!.
Go on doing more of this type of drawing as you are really good at it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have a natural talent and should pursue this skill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
