A Rejected Cover And A Self Portrait

I've been working on the cover for a horror book anthology titled"Inhuman" by Matt Garvey. I sketched a couple of different covers, and the one below is inspired by one of the chapters in "Inhuman". The cover was ultimately rejected for another one (which I am working on now and will post it up here once I'm done).

The next one is the beginning of a 30 day challenge where I'm suppose to draw something of a different topic each day for 30 days. However a few of my friends have pointed out that I'm still missing something from portrait paintings so we decided to adjust the challenge to 30 day portrait challenge to hone my skills.

This will be the first of many ugly mugshots.
