I'm gonna post some of my school art here for critique. The pieces I post are pieces of an AP (Advanced Placement) portfolio I sent in for an AP Art test (for high school). These pieces are the make of the "breadth" section, which demonstrates your use of the medium in a technical and creative fashion. Please be nice in your critique, offer positive and negative feedback and add any suggestions that I could use to better my skills. These pieces will be scrapped in the future.

Ugh, I despise self portraits. And graphite. Mix the two together and you have a piece that took me a ridiculously long time to finish.
Anyway, the idea for this project was to do a mug-shot style graphite self portrait. The catch was we couldn't use a picture of ourselves, we had to use mirrors and do a direct-observation of our faces. It was challenging if your hair is like mine and is never the same way on any day P:
So, I tried to be creative with mine and not use English in my piece... I didn't know any other language, nor what to write on the panel, so I made something up x3 Turned out well, although it smudged a mass amount :C
Another piece from last year that I got to use.. Done on bristol board, god knows the dimensions xD
