that is not correct way of customizing user model you should try like this
reference : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/auth/customizing/

from django.contrib.auth.models import (AbstractBaseUser,
                                        PermissionsMixin,
                                        UserManager)

class Consultants(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
      consul_id=models.IntegerField(default=0,primary_key=True)
      first_name=models.CharField(max_length=255,blank=True,null=True)
      last_name=models.CharField(max_length=255,blank=True,null=True)
      email=models.EmailField(max_length=255,blank=True,null=True)
      username=models.CharField(max_length=255,blank=True,null=True)
      password=models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True,null=True)
      consul_pic=models.ImageField(upload_to="/home/cp/Documents/consul_pic",blank=True,null=True)
      mobile_no=models.CharField(max_length=255,blank=True,null=True))
      last_login=models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now,blank=True,null=True)
      is_active=models.BooleanField(default=False)
      objects = UserManager()


      def __str__(self):
           return self.first_name or u''
