Another self-portrait or two - in colour pencil

Had fun with drawing by touch. I actually achieved much better proportions than I do when I look at myself in the mirror!! Also, Shelley had mentioned using colour pencils (and I have plenty of those!) and I have to say it was a very tactile experience, to feel the pencil move on the page at the same time as my other hand was moving across my face! One pencil was Prismacolor, the other Polychromos. Very similar feel on the paper.

For one moment, I thought it would be a great way to draw my hand in that way, until I realised there would be a problem with that!
