So, I decided I am going to do a self portrait everyday for as long as I can/ feel like doing it. Any tips will be more than welcome.

I did this one today. I sketched the proportions beforehand and applied some shadows as well.

you should set rules and a reward system or something so you have the perception that you're being externally motivated to do it regardless of your faggot feelings. Do a self portrait every day for a month or something, and then have a reward/reinforcement schedule type of situation.

Every day after you draw it you get a candy or something. Every week you get a bigger reward. Every month you get a yuge reward. Some kinda shit. Positive reinforcement.

And you could do some kind of deprivation meme where you can't do X until after you do the daily selfie portrait. Like can't have a drinkey until you do your self portrait or some shit. Or if you're not an substance addict you could do no fap until you do the portrait, but then you're kind of literally behaviorally conditioning narcissism. Which is bad.

Actually nevermind maybe don't brainwash yourself.

not bad OP. You are still symbol drawing though.

Dont do such a hard/dark outline of the lips.

Dont just shade in blocks for the eyebrows.

Got a lot to work on but you're not in a bad spot

I wouldn’t do it every single day.
Do it once a month and in between draw other stuff. You will lean nothing by just drawing your face over and over without knowing what you are doing really

set the rules first and adapt and evolve on the way. It's more important to condition the pattern of behavior brah. Plus it's a cool spearment that you could get meme points on fucking reddit for probably. Turn it into a gif.

Fuck it I'm doing it now regardless. Sober September gon be LIT
