Pencil Drawing

In art we are doing pencil drawings from pictures. I did a term paper on Rachel Scott for the history class I'm in, so decided to do a picture of her for the front of it. This is what I started out with. The outline is one of the scariest things you will ever set eyes on. Now if that won't give you nightmares, I don't know what will. And drawing her eyes so they looked like cat eyes didn't help either.
This is what I ended up with:

At times I hated it, at times it looked horrid, but I'm really happy with the outcome.
