Self-Portrait Inspiration

The artist that I was really drawn to was Neil Shigley. The quote that really inspired me was "In my portrait work, my focus is to capture the likeness of an individual by using descriptive marks to describe how light hits the forms of the face." I really relate to this style of drawing.  I'm not very comfortable with 2D so using lines to build a portrait helps me figure out how areas are shaped, so I basically draw like I sculpt.
