Finally, After the hair is completed add a background that compliments the portrait and doesn't steal the attention away from the portrait. For more information visit this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfosxuah1uk

After completing the the facial features move on to the hair. For this part I used long and continuous lines making sure it's darker in shadowy areas and using fewer lines in brighter places.

To start, I drew a rough outline of my hair, face shape, and features such as eyes, nose, and mouth. I then began to go over these rough outlines using a black pen and making gesture marks

This study was my first project as a freshman and looking at it now I wish I would've taken more time on it and really payed attention to detail. For these projects I used a graphite pencil on approximately 5 by 5 piece of paper. Overall I enjoyed this project and it really helped me become better at using graphite pencils.

I really like how this painting turned out, It was my first time painting deer and using an ombre background. For this project I used acrylic and I touched up the edges using quill and ink. Something I wish I could redo is the size of the gray deer's head. Looking at it now it looks disproportionate to his body.

Looking back on this project I really enjoyed working with plants but I wish I would have incorporated different types of plants instead of just sunflowers. I also would have made the main sunflower a little larger because I feel like the focus drifts from the main flower to the background which is not what I wanted. Lastly, I used prismacolor colored pencils with black pen to create depth.

Overall, I am very pleased with how this project turned out. It was a fairly quick project and I really enjoyed using a new technique with a self portrait. If I could go back and change something it would probably be the background, because looking at it now it does't compliment the portrait as well as maybe a solid background. Finally, for this project I used water color for the background and pen for the portrait
