ate a pencil and got lead poisoning

Every once in a while, I like to attempt drawing realism portraits. According to my sketchbook, "every once in a while" = once every two years (or so). ;;; The last time I actually tried to draw a real person (actors as opposed to fictional characters) was almost five years ago -- it was Elijah Wood and he was surprisingly recognizable, haha. I spent all day today* trying to sketch Leeteuk, but to no avail. I even tried the "mathematical" approach: measuring the distance between the eyes, from forehead to chin, etc and trying to translate that on to paper (in theory, that should've worked! Maybe I should use a protractor next time to ensure the angles are accurate...). It still didn't look like him. :(:( So I gave up for the day and sketched him in shoujo style to make myself feel better.

( Slanty bangs and mini-ponytail<3<3~~ )

*-Actually, part of the afternoon was spent driving. I spent half of the lesson hyperventilating and clenching the steer wheel with a death grip. XD;;

Part of the lesson went something like this:
Driving Instructor: Okay, keep to the right. Do you know where we're going?
Me (unfamiliar with the area, but naively trusting): Nope. :D
D.I.: We're going on the highway. *pulls the steering wheel towards the ramp*
Me: OMGWHAT. O___O
D.I.: More gas, more gas!
Me: OMGWHAT. The lane is merginggg! *FLAILS*

Despite the massive amounts of snow and salt on the road, and my lack of depth perception, and my death grip on the wheel...today's lesson went relatively smoothly. I think I'm getting the hang of this whole turning business (have yet to collide with oncoming traffic -- five points to me! *knocks on wood*).
