Queen of Hearts: Self-Portrait

The obligatory Drawing II class self-portrait. My professor wanted interesting facial expressions, so I chose a picture of myself dressed up as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.

My proportions are all wacky because the image was huge, and I refused to use a grid like everyone else (because to me that's like cheating). And there was a weird back-lighting issue in the picture that I went off of, so there's an odd line in the middle of my face. *shruggs* all in all, I'd say I did fairly well. I only got an 88 on the project, but that's because my professor is a hard ass nazi grader. (like, he considers a C a good grade)
