Well. This is it. The final comparison of the original image (left) and my completed piece (right). I am mostly satisfied. The face is definitely elongated, but otherwise proportionate. I know that this is because I did not actually use a physical grid to section out the portrait; instead, I cut a sort of viewfinder that was the same size as the original image and laid it atop my paper. Then, I focused on drawing whatever fit inside of the space within the viewfinder from the original. Tricky, I know. But I really did not want to draw on the ground, or physically fold the paper. Now, though, I have some experience to work with and improve upon. I am extremely excited to begin work on my self-portrait-- I have already begun brainstorming colors and poses. It will likely be the most time-consuming (but most important!) piece of work that I have ever done. I am so ready for the challenge.

Good - make clear that this is your comparison of yours and the original (for those following along from the beginning, it is clear but it doesn't hurt to be OVER clear). Also, post a photo of your work that it taken straight on vs. at an angle; we can see the full effect more clearly that way.
