17. Really gives a sense of you as a person.

The vertical lines surrounding you are interesting - almost like the vibrations of an astral aura, particularly around the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. It makes me wonder at your emotional state when you drew this self-portrait. Just rhetorical, but what were you feeling at the time? Were there strong feelings going in, perhaps, and then you got in the zone and finished almost automatically?

It is very good.
