My second assignment for my Drawing: Portraiture class called for either a weirdly reflected portrait or a portrait from a weird angle with dramatic lighting. I took a photo of a body piercer about to pierce his own septum under an overhead light found in a tattoo shop. I'm very pleased with how it turned out, despite running into some difficulty with the medium and my kitten. This piece is 19" x 25" and is Prismacolor Nupastel and charcoal.
