Took me about 4-5 hours. It's around 18 x 20 in.
I used Prisma colored-pencils and Prisma markers on Bristol Board.
I have two more self-portraits (that are supposed to be progressively bigger and better) to do by Monday T_T
The flash kind of screwed up some of the pencil by making it shiny with whiteness X_x
Opinions?

Oh wow, that looks great Mishy! I love the collage-y effect with the separate squares. In general though, it looks awesome.
Nice work!

Nice, I've never seen anything this interesting before, love the colors and everything, I like how it's like behind a window and every square is a whole different view.

The colors are so bright and vibrant, and I really like the way you used your lines (on your face) as well as the shading.

The first thing to come to mind when I saw this was definitely the word "unique". I was a tad thrown off by the black shape on your left cheek, but that's probably because I wasn't used to non-color. Great job, Mishy! :]

Yeah... I'm not so sure what that black thing was in the original picture. lol. Perhaps a distorted shadow.

What really fascinates me by looking at this piece is how you the arrangement of color schemes that you've used. The bottom fades from blue and brown to purple and pink, you know what I mean? I like that nothing is directly one specific color scheme, rather, that it's a mixture of at least two similar ones.
I noticed that the middle box -- the one with your lip and finger, consists of colors that represent your actual face color -- red lips, yellow and peach and green for your face, and a brownish peachy yellow for your index finger -- it creates a sense of simplicity within the complexity of different color schemes displayed in all the other panels in piece that makes up your face.
Also, some of the squares (panels, as I have been calling them) consist of different textures, which is awesome because it kind of plays with your mind, creating an illusion. If you rearranged the squares (and rectangles?), anything could be anything! Like the bottom middle square with the edge of your palm -- that square alone could cause people to see different things.
I guess you could say that out of all the panels, my favorite has got to be the top middle. I guess because it has so many curves in it, it's really appealing to me. :]
I'll cut this short, as it could get pretty long. I love it!
