In my anatomy class, we sometimes have had to use pictures and illustrations of human beings (with facial features) for labeling and studying. I did not draw any such pictures myself, but only used the ones already drawn. Is this permissible?

My aunt wanted me to put a photo on her facebook of a good quiz score that I had gotten so that she could show her friends, but some of her friends are non-mahrams and so I thought about putting the photo on her page, but making it private so that only my friends would see it (who are only mahrams and females). Is this permissible?
