You do have that mad look but no real painter can look smiley and relaxed when doing a self portrait from life. I just hope you won't go as far as having a missing ear on your next portrait! :-) I like the tips about your process, would be good to see a picture of your set up next time. What about squaring up the whole mirror to help with the whole drawing and also keeping the position? I might do that next time...Valérie Pirlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470723379873674087noreply@blogger.com
