8x10 self portrait on 100# brisol paper, various leads. This was done for my first member challenge - self portraits due Jan. 31. I worked from a photo I took of myself, which I am sorry to say didn't come out as clear as I would have like or shadowed quite like I would have liked. I was trying for something a long the lines of old Mary Pickford photo to work from. I have a lot to learn.....there for I was kind of frustrated working on this, and hope to do a much better one in the future. Thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated!

Masterful Work Terry ! The Master of Pencil Portraits !Charles Redman 21 Nov 2007
I noticed you are extra hard on your own self protrait's critc, far more then any other drawly in your profile? Just something I noticed. I got to give you credit, I could not stay so close to subject like you do. Your eye is fine tuned. I tend to wondered off and get all surreal.. Theres something I seen & I'm sure you know this ,the eye is coned at the center of the pupil naturally.So the eye lids always form around the cone. Kinda like a frone & smiley face The cone shape also makes the lower lid blug to fit the coned eye ball. Hope you like critcs. Thanks for the Art. Peace CWRTabitha Borges 22 Nov 2006

Great self portrait terry makes me want to draw one of me. You did a great job and a lovely portrait it is.David Holcombe 12 Apr 2006
Self portraits are among my favorite works of art. The artist tells us much about their interests, self perception, psychology. It's a feast to the eyes. You have chosen a realistic format with no competing background. You look in the distance, not at the viewer. Each self portrait will increase in skill and complexity. Does it look exactly like you? Perhaps not. But that is not the point. It's the honesty and courage of your self perception that will linger long after all of us are gone. Take care.Mrs.David Jobes(Dee) Jobes 11 Apr 2006
