Me. Seriously.

Okay, so as a few of you might know, I play the tenor saxophone. I'm sure not a lot of you care, but I do know a lot of you have probably seen Cowboy Bebop. I've never seen it, but when I had to find a solo to perform at my Tri-M recital, I found a piece called "Goodnight Julia." It was such a beautiful piece, I had to find it. And I did. And this is me playing it

I've never seen Cowboy Bebop, but that sounds really nice.
Good playing, great tone. How long have you been playing the tenor?

That was really good. ^^ Nice to hear a good tenor sax player every so often. None of ours really make the cut.

@Shady: This will make about seven years in a few months.
@AFL: Thanks
I'm one of the best in the state (at a high school level, of course
)

I have seen CB and I have heard this song. Pretty good! XD Funny enough, a character of mine, Lightwolf, plays the sax. Pretty cool seeing somebody play the saxophone for real. XD

I played Alto for 3 years, but I was never very good at any wood wind/brass instruments. I just can't get the proper amount of force to play the proper volume. I was always WAYYY too loud.
I'm better with my hands so that's why I'm better at bass/guitar

So, I did this picture. Of me. It's not an exact likeness, but it's pretty close.
Yes, my nose really does look like that. That's not a mistake.

Shading is pretty good, but the head needs to be much larger, and by that I mean the area above the eyes. Look at yourself in the mirror. Your eyes definitely aren't that high up in your head. The eyes are also too large, a very common mistake people make when doing a self-portrait, because you tend to focus on the eyes when looking in the mirror.
Keep at it, self-portraits are kinda tough.

Looking at the picture I took for reference, I do agree - I did make the top of my head rather... Short, out of lack of better term. The nose is also a key factor in the eye problem. I had an extremely hard time drawing it. Then I remembered reading somewhere that the space between the eyes is about the size of a third eye, so I went from there. Thank you for the input - I will put it to good use

No prob! Another helpful hint: the inner corners of the eyes should be level with the outer corners of the nose.
