Self Portrait

This is the first self portrait I've drawn from a mirror. I've only drawn myself one other time, and that was in seventh grade from a photograph. I spent about 30 hours on this drawing, and several more hours on preliminary sketches. I worked in a dark room with one light source directed at the right side of my face. For the final portrait I used pencil, charcoal, charcoal pencil, white pastel, and conte crayon.
