Very impressive.

Fantastic pencil work! The clean shading/lineart on the face and the shadow on the breasts are my favorite parts!

Is the lighting on the top-right on purpose or was that a scanner/camera effect?

The scarf seems to lack the depth that the face, arms, and under shirt have, but the incredible use of the old sepia (did the paper come with that color?) color really brings out something artistic/classy about this picture!

I like self portraits of artists that are not afraid to paint the shadows under their eyes and the cowlicks in their hair. Plus, the straightforward expression, looking directly at the camera, kind of makes me think you are the straightforward type.

Excellent work! Keep it up! *favs* You have great talent!
