Brian, it's great! I think most self portraits have a tendency to show this look as the artist is concentrating at the same time. I really like the shading on the nose and the reflected light on the side of the face. Felicity
Oh yes, you positively look like you could be part of an electric cable theft occult. And terribly right wing. And possibly cold (hence the beanie). ;-)
WOW great sketch, and yes it is the eyes, and the eyebrows and that ski cap - a smile would certainly help :-) Funny, all self-portraits seem to have such a serious studied look - If you are a serial killer you have created a fabulous FBI sketch .
"I'm not this angry. Really. I'm exceptionally nice, I guarantee you." . . . said the spider to the fly! *grin* Actually, the left eye (your right eye) is the one giving the creepy vibe -- Check out that iris. (I only mention as I was following the serial killer thread on EDM) Love the hi-lighting on the touque band.
Yes, I noticed that eye about an hour or two after posting the picture. And by then just couldn't be bothered anymore to go fix the drawing, make a new scan etc. But now that I have had a comment about it, I might after all consider it. ;-)
