I drew this in 2006 for my grade 9 art class. It was drawn from a photo however not traced. it is 20x bigger then its photo counter part.
My art teacher was a professional french artist. She told me it wasn't good enough to pass. I got a c+ on it.

This took me 6 months of working on it for 4 hours a day. I just took a photo of it with my cam as it has been in storage for a month. While I was moving on August 12th 2014 its frame smashed. So I just took It out of its frame and brought it into my room and took the photo. I can take more photos of it with rulers and such to show just how big it is.

The photo I studied and drew it from was a very tinny photo in an old national geographic magazine. Of coarse I don't have it any more as that was a long time ago. I was 13/14 when i started and finished it respectfully. However yes I can prove this art work is mine. Ask and ill get more photos. even of me holding it
