This one was a still life we had to do from observation, and we had to choose objects that represented ourselves.

I didn't want to write the words on the book, but my art teacher insisted, so there you go with my crooked handwriting :D  (Extra points if you can guess what book it is)

I also basically surprised myself because all I ever draw are cartoon-style characters, and never realism, yet somehow this worked. :)
