Birthday speedpaint! + Some updates

Hey this Speed paint is a little bit different to my regular content today i’m drawing a self portrait.
I've had some issues lately with self confidence especially around my looks I've never really liked the way I look and often feel that when I draw myself I embellish my looks and it appears “fake” . It makes every self portrait I make feel false but I feel like this one is the closest I've got to looking like me , whoever that may be.
One of my biggest inspirations when I first attempted digital art was (and still is) the legendary digital artist Kiwi Byrd and one thing Kiwi Byrd suggests everyone does is to draw a self portrait every year on your birthday so that you can see your progress overtime so im posting this video (should it go up on the correct day and not late ) on my birthday , July 13th.
I've been lucky enough to have been blessed with amazing friends who support not only my art but myself too trough some tough times so in this self portrait I've added some of the common things that both me and my friends enjoy.
The inspiration for this video: Kiwi Byrd-
