Problem(s): Making the clouds look cloud like, shading the girl and making her look like she belongs in space. Making the hands and feet look like they belonged covered, rather than looking forced. The oil pastels were also a challenge for me since I had never used them before.

Problem(s):Getting the correct shading with the stippling, and also getting the correct shading on the hair.

Problem(s): Indian ink is hard to control, therefore it can be hard to get it to stay where I want it to (it bleeds). The blotch on her left cheek was darker than it was supposed to be, so I had to add a white wash to get it to be the correct shade.

Problem(s): I am not very good at fish or water. So I had to create a tail and background that I could execute within the time period. I also struggled to create a good skin texture digitally.

Problem(s): The background was very detailed, so creating it in a way that was color blocked was hard.

Problem(s): I haven't shaded a whole image in pencil in awhile, so it started out kind of rough. I struggled with their faces because of the angles, especially with the noses. I also struggled with the hand on the left guy's face. I chose to use watercolor pencils for the background, so it is somewhat streaky (but let's go with that was intentional).

Problem(s): I struggled with having a symmetrical face, and having even eyes (it was too late to fix it when I noticed). I also accidentally drew the nose a little too straight on for her tilted face. The ink also smeared on her freckles so I did my best to fix that (ended up using fabric paint because I couldn't find my white ink pen), so there are some smears on her face and around the border from where I tried to conceal the smears.
