Self Portrait

This is a self-portrait I just finished last week using scratchboard. I was trying to portray a feeling of happiness in this picture. I thought it was be really cool to put my face in the picture frame so that way it's almost like there's two pictures in one. To achieve the lighting in this picture I went into a closet with the lights off and set up a light on the right side of my face. Considering this is only my second scratchboard drawing I think it was a success, yet there is still much room for improvement.
