This didn't come out *exactly* how I intended... mostly in that I couldn't photograph the glittered mirror and ended up trying to scan it with saran wrap over it and... well, anyway. The base image was done in pencil, then I used watercolor pencils to do the color. Despite the purple tint, it's actually white glitter that was used on the mirror. I'll update this entry in the future if I'm able to get a better picture/scan that does this justice since I think it's much cooler than it looks here. Either way, I like to think it's a simple, nice tribute. Sappy as it may be, I'm quite a fan of "Man in the Mirror," and the video for that song came on right as I started drawing the piece, so I choose to take that as a good sign :)
