I bought a daguerreotype off ebay this month and her face is so haunting that I thought I'd use it for a drawing. I started off doing a photorealistic copy of it, and then I thought, what's the point? I already have a photograph that is a million times cooler than my drawing would be. So then I tried to convert it into a more expressive style. I really love expressive, half-finished drawings. I'm not sure I love THIS drawing, but it still was good to practice.
