Quick Self Portraits

After my previous portrait, I felt loosening up could do some good. Here are some quick mirror studies I did ranging from 2 minutes to about 20 seconds. Coincidently, I find the ones I spent less time on much more pleasing not only to the eye but also to work with. Its a good exercise where you really do have to just let go and trust in your mark marking, boosting your confidence and technique.

As such, perhaps a more expressive approach can provide more interesting results, something of which I will consider.
