In my opinion self portraits are one of the hardest things to do, but it was quite fun to attempt! Watching people in videos do it makes it look like a breeze. And watching other people sketching and shading gave me a good idea of how to do it myself.
I learned that measuring and placement is everything with self portraits. If you put something in the wrong spot or don't space things evenly, it looks all wrong. And it's a pain to have to go back and redo it. I was never capable of drawing realistic facial structures and features, but after doing all of this I think I'm getting better at it!
