Self Portrait Illustration

Personal Work

I have dabbled in drawing self-portraits in the past, however they have been a fair amount more detailed and I wanted to experiment with style and try something simple. I gathered a couple reference photos and a mirror at my desk, and started sketching! The mirror saw the most use during the final touches phase of drawing, when I was trying to figure out where all my little moles and freckles are.
