1. I selected the images of William Henry Harrison, Vincent Van Gogh, and Portrait of a man because they were

Very inspirational. These portraits were what I set out to create.

However my portrait lived up to my artistic ability. 
2. I used pencil to create my self portrait because I like using pencil. 
You can shade well and the pencil makes nice lines in the portrait.
3.The challenges that I faced in creating my self-portrait was the drawing
the part.  I am not a good drawer at all but I overcame it but just doing
the best that I could and drew a self portrait.
4. I think the piece does kinda look like me, and I think it represents me
I think because I drew it.
5. I tried to use elements and principles of lines, shading, some pattern
and proportion as I drew this portrait.
6. I did enjoy working on my self-portrait.  It was fun, my children even
tried to draw their own portraits.
7. I like my final artwork a lot and think that it is work that was done
to the best of my ability.
