Drawing for upcoming painting

Same drawing, two photos. The painting will be based on drawings. My goal is to learn to analyze and remember what I see, like artists had to do before photography.

Study for self-portrait

Half happy, half angry. Drawn with calligraphy pen.

New self-portrait update

Break time! Think I'm overworking it.

Color Continues

This seems to be going well but I'm not sure how well. Or when to stop.

Grayscale layer. Check.

New Self-Portrait

I like it as is but want to try Freud's technique (as I understand it).
