Self-Portrait

I struggled at first due to not being able to find a picture that was not blurry, so I settled for one that was the least blurry but the scale of it was still awful. After a while of working on it though, I could not do the shapes of the eyes so I finally caved in and searched through my small collection of photos containing me in them in google photos. I finally found one but was short on time to start over and quickly complete the portrait. I started by clearing my space and then making new art-boards with a new correctly scaled photo of me. I made a collection of layers containing all the organic shapes throughout the drawing and found it a little confusing at times until I found out that I could use numbers to signify what layers were for what besides the category. I found myself finishing it at midnight on it in Odam library; I had lost track of time but enjoyed the experience. The difficulties included the eyes and layers for the most part. I had trouble figuring out how to make the iris and pupil of the eye fit inside the eye shape using the tool that automatically does it for you and still have trouble with how to put the order of that into it. Sometimes my layers would get mixed up the way I didn't want them to as I added new layers. Despite these complexities, I successfully finished on time and with a lot of detail and harmony throughout the artwork. The only thing I would really complain about not being happy with is the colors and some lines not turning out the way I wanted them to for the skin and shapes but that's another story for another time.
