Draw! Challenge #1: Reflection

An ordinary mirror only shows what you look like on the surface, but I chose this one to represent a more true meaning of the word reflection. We all have a darkside and self-reflection allows us to acknowledge some of the complex aspects of ourselves, the good and the bad.

For the background, I chose to place the mirror on a plain wall and use a simple gradient from black to white, respective to the personalities on each side of the mirror (That and I tend to stick to the simple backgrounds since I kind of suck at them). I wanted the pic to be powerful, yet sombre, so I tried to stay away from using too many bright colours.
