Reflective Portrait
Create a self-portrait in pencil from looking into a reflective object that distorts.
Use any highly reflective object. (Pots, pans, irons, tree ornaments, serving tray, etc.)
You may include the whole object or just concentrate on your reflection.
Use a good range of values.
Work in any monochromatic medium you like.
Advanced Option: Use a color media (Colored pencils, paint, etc)
Don't worry about really strange distortions.
Make sure you are somewhat recognizable.
