It's a realistic sketch of me. I had to do it in front of the mirror, so a few things are little off, like my eyes look too big (this is because I was looking up at the mirror). Also, I should have spent more time on the hair; as you can see from the happy little addition, I got quite bored by the end of this. But altogether I'm pretty proud of it. I like the way the shading works on the face, although you can't see it well on this scan. We were supposed to just be doing drawings of ourselves to cut up and demonstrate something, but I liked this too much to destroy it, so the school had to make do with a crappy printout instead.
