Experimenting with my Self Portrait

Well it is a lousy day here today and my hubby is on a biz trip.
I was feeling creative this afternoon and I decided to do some experimenting on self portraits, as I have never done one before. Phew...ket me tell you it sure was a big challenge. Geez, I have never even painted a face before. I really admire those portrait painters. Anyways I had some fun - an that's what counts!

P.S. I think I will stick to my usual work...LOL. Anyways, here are my results:

So here are my attempts. By no means, was I going for a realism painting..LOL. Just my usual little style:

1st in water-soluable pencil colour:

Then done over in a fine acyrlic wash:
