Great progress Vicianus! Love the value rendering on the self portrait.
I love reading all your thoughts along the way too. A few posts up you wrote about getting over your fear of failure, and I have to say bravo! It's something I've only recently started dealing with myself... I would not draw out of fear that what I would try to make wouldn't live up to my expectations, which would lead to me not drawing at all. Recently however, when I started drawing after a hiatus, I'm approaching my art much more open minded, trying not to hold myself to impossible standards and understanding that failure is part of learning.
A bit of a ramble but it's nice to see others overcoming similar fears :)
