None of them look like you but I think this one looks most like you.

I think what is missing is my personality. I look much sadder than I am in real life, but I was trying to concentrate and hold still.

This is better than the other two. Since u've added a white fan, I'm assuming it must be oil.. because in water colours, painting white over does not give an opaque effect.

Thanks Punam... I use acrylic paints. I've never used oils. Acrylics are similar to oils, and they range in degree of thickness; you can get them very thick and paint with a lot of texture, or you can get them much thinner or thin them yourself with water. They dry much faster than oils and they clean up with water but they dry permanent, hard and thick as plastic. I think you would like them!
