This assignment was a lot of fun to do. I picked a picture and planned out the distortion knowing exactly how I wanted it to come out.
I think I'm really bad at planning things like this out though, because the final piece was nothing like I had intended it to be. Originally I wanted all of the candles in the picture to be exaggerated and long, but the way I distorted it seemed to only exaggerate my face and actually shorten the candles in some places.

I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome of this drawing. The hair and eyes took a long time to do and ended up being my favorite part about this piece. Stippling on the face did not really work out for me too well, but I think the paleness of the face adds a bit to the creepiness of the drawing.
