(04.14.03) "Self Portrait 4 - Remorse"

In Progress:

Notes:
Medium: Photoshop 7.0, using a Graphire2.
Reference: Mirror.

This was my most involved self portrait yet. The pose was a bit difficult, because I couldn't see both the mirror and the monitor without moving from the pose. Because of that, the preliminary sketch and early stages of this painting were built up using the techiques used in blind contour drawing. This is also the first painting in which I have experimented with custom brushes in Photoshop. I created a simple custom brush to paint the hair.
