Prove yourself as the best artist for the week: A portrait of Myself

All these days, I've been drawing other people, and today, I said to myself "why not do a quick sketch of yourself, it might not be perfectly done but just draw something ".
So yes, I listened.

Now look at the portrait I made of myself. I'll be taking you through how I drew it and also drop tye reference Image for you to compare.

Before you continue reading, I'll like you to vote, and comment on the drawing.
Resteem if you wish me well😂

Tools I used:
An A4 paper and a pen(black).

STEPS	•

I started with a circle to depict the head shape, which I also added the right ear as the only visible one.
I also extended the shading to the body.
I was not putting on any shirt so....

I also started sketching the facial features from the lips..

Here, I added nose, eyes and brows. Like I would always say, the facial features are the determinant of how good an artist is able to recreate an image.
So I'm always careful when adding them..but this time, I think the e a mistake somewhere . But we'll continue.

I went on with the shading which I had already started in the image above, if you look closely.
I shaded the eyeballs, the mustache and the lips.
I also shaded some parts of the face, the nostril then the hair too.

Here is a complete sketch, which I also added the wrinkles and detailed every part of it.
This one didn't really take me that much to complete, as I was not planning to send to anyone for validation.
You guys should tell me how it looks.

Here , I just added the Steemit hashtags and my username.

Here is the reference Image.

Thanks for reading through.....
Bye✨
