Wonderful self portrait Matthew, your line work is expressive and specific to your features and proportions. The value range could still be pushed farther in order to get more volume and depth. Look at the value of the pupils in the photo and then compare that value to the value of thee side of head hair-it is equally as dark. Also the hair on the top of your head goes a bit darker. Overall the drawing works really well and absolutely looks like you.
Thank you for a wonderful semester and for your thoughtful blog posts all semester long.
