Description
I've been drawnI've been made
By myself
By the people
I'm surrounded with
They made me
Who I used to be
Who I am right now
Who I'll become
Yes, that's right. I finally did a self portrait. What a surprise!
Never ever did I dare to draw myself before and this was a huge step for me. I feel exposed.
My hair isn't really that long. Normally it just falls over my shoulders, but I didn't really want to expose my whole self so I made my hair cover some parts of my body.
And the rest is just... well... me.
I hope you like it. I know it's something totally different!
Stuff I used:
Time spent: 9,5 hours
Took the reference pictures myself.
Don't ask me how.
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now.
This is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself.
Fighting for a chance.
I know now
This is who I really am.
.............EDIT.............
Now available as print!!!

This is wonderful.
The idea of your own hands drawing your portrait is extremely creative. Not only that, but it is well executed and it looks wonderful.
Fantastic job. I love it.

Oh you're welcome, I'm proud I got a response from you once. I wonder how long exactly you knew and practiced your talent? You're drawing really amazing so I was just wondering how long it took you to achieve this result

sorry I never answered some of your comments before...
I'm not sure you noticed, but there's a deviation in my gallery which is called 'the 8 stages of progression'
It shows exactly what kind of pencils I drew in which year and when I started to develop my skills

"I feel exposed."
Well, that's only natural, with you having very accurate drawings, for all we know, this could be what your face really looks like. 
And what everyone has already said to you. :/

Not only is the drawing very, very well done. You're also beautiful. Don't feel exposed, this is art and I'm loving it.
The ONLY thing I can critize is the hands, they look a little bit flat, but that's all. Nothing I'm bothered with.
Keep it up!

Thank you so very much. 
I know about the hands, especially the right one. The quality of the photo was really low so I had to improvise a little...

well I guess you're allowed to draw them just like you're allowed to use wallpapers of them I guess?
I have an artbook of someone who used and drew several famous people too. Doesn't seem like he got troubles with it. Though I'm still not sure but oh well..
Thank you so much
