Self-Portrait

First assignment in my Heads and Hands class. My professor has taught us a way to draw that's entirely different from what I've been taught in previous classes; to start with the shadows, not with the lineart. In fact, in this drawing we weren't supposed to show line at all. It was fun to work on, and even if I wasn't totally happy with it, I still got an A. I'm especially happy with the lips and the necklace.
