Self portrait digital painting

I know lot of artists drawing themselves from interesting perspectives...On the other hand I've heard of selfies, mirror pictures and autobiographies but this is something new for me. It brings the term self-portrait, and I believe it is one of the beautiful things that I've ever encountered.

I don't know how you accomplished to make a drawing of yourself but clearly you have the talents needed for such a job. The technique is flawless, even every hair can be seen if you look close enough, so the details are really amazing. The graduation of the hair color is masterful and I like the face shading as well.

Overall I'm very impressed with this drawing. Great job!
