2004 vs 2013

Since I've always been able to create extremely realistic art pieces, I wanted to show you guys exactly what I looked like back in 2004.
Yes, that is a self portrait.

Joking aside, this is actually my very first portrait drawing in existence. It takes some guts to post this for everyone to see, but I feel it is a good reminder of how far along I have progressed as an artist. Lots of hard work, determination, and practice occurred between 2004-2013.
