Self Portrait Sunday

This ballpoint sketch/mixed media I did a few days ago was uploaded to my FB group.  I'm so encouraged by this comment:  "The honesty of observation is apparent, in the way in which the artificiality of a fixed smile is accurately represented." - John Shakespeare.

    Great job...this really resembles you a lot!!! Excellent work on the teeth. I always find smiling people so difficult to sketch.

      Thanks Joan! With your approving comment like that, I would say this sketch is a success! I'm glad there's a likeness of me. So much to learn but daily sketching helps.
