Getting a head in the art world

The first assignment in my sculpture class was to create a realistic life-size bust of yourself. Since I'm normally a happy person, I wanted to make myself smiling with my mouth open.

It didn't work so well.

So I closed my mouth and went with another approach.

I'm much happier with this one, even though it still doesn't look exactly like me. I edited it a little after this, so the final product will look different. Pictures coming soon!
