Update!
Symbolic self portraits:
Here's an explanation for those interested:
1:
So this was for art class. I only got to make the tree into something actually good because of time limits, so the quality's overall not amazing. I used charcoal for the shading and a 2B pencil for the normal lines.

This is my second take on the symbolic self portrait. We had to make a caligraphy of our first name's first letter earlier and that thing stuck in the ghoul's head is my letter T. I then added the text (which feels horribly out of place now), because the assignment was to make it into more of a poster format. I might redo it to get everything in place sometime. In this drawing I used mikron pens for the outlines, charcoal for the ghoul shading and pencil for the letter shading.
