Self Portrait Complete

Self Portrait complete! Using the Old Masters mark from the recreation project (artist Kenyon Cox) I finally finished this picture of myself.  Im fairly happy with this, I think by the end I really understood the mark by the end of this project and the fineness and direction of the hatching.  I am mostly happy with the hair, I think it turned out really nice with the very light and careful marks.  I  am not completely content with the face, probably because it is mine and I don't think I will ever be totally comfortable with having to recreate it just because I am so familiar with it.  Overall I think this project went very smoothly!
