I sketch every now and then but never tried to do a self protrait in all this time

So here is my first attempt yesterday. Looks like a sketch you see on America's Most Wanted

Not feeling disheartened and remembering all the mistakes I made last night I desided to go for number two. I think it worked out pretty well. The proportions and spacing are much better.

Looks great. I appreciate that you can keep proportions between all your features. Some people can never get the hang of it but your technique rocks. A+. Don't change a thing.

You really caught the expression in the second one! I, for one, like those sketches a lot. Are you going to do anything further to them, or just leave them as sketches? In any event, nice work.

Very very nice!

I'm always impressed with people who can do an unbiased self portrait...

And, to add to the talent, you're cute!
