Here's a Self Portrait measuring 10" x 8" A4 on Canson CP Paper. One of the challenges here was in using a textured paper for coloured pencil work, so that I could paint a watercolour background easily. This is me without any make-up mask, showing the trials and tribulations overcome, nevertheless, still smiling. I have aged by 10 years!

After almost completing all the Draw Awesome course this was the ultimate Challenge of the Portrait Module. I have one module left to work on, after which I will have covered the basics of drawing using several techniques/subjects and drawing media. It is a good experience and thoroughly recommended.
