Self Portrait from Photo: Difficulty Level 10!!

I don't know why I have such a hard time drawing/painting from photographs. Maybe it's because I start to look at every tiny little detail and get too bogged down in the miniscule. In any case, Here is some portrait work. Scarf kind of got a cop out. I'll work on textile textures someday...

And the close ups: note the freckles. (I'm kind of proud of them.)
