I recognize that its no great epiphany (which is a hard word to spell I might add), but darn, self-portraits are so difficult to do. And, as I'm learning here, to show.

Great lines in your selfportrait. Yip, a selfportrait...difficult to do and even more difficult to show! I always want to make an appointment for plastic surgery directly after I've done one. Ronell
Well, for starters, kudos for re-doing a self-portrait. What i like about this (and it's something i am not capable of) is how restrained you kept it -- you added just enough to give it depth, but you knew where to stop. CRUCIAL STUFF!!! Also, i like your use of colors.
Love the simple lines and combination of red with the pencil. I don't know how it looks as far as a self portrait goes, but as a drawing it's beautiful.
We have a Cafe Europa here too - does yours do an amazing chicken salad with tons of tarragon and a fantastic lemon cake like ours?

Totally agree, the hardest of all subjects...This looks great though, simple lines and lots of character.
