This self portrait was very difficult for me. The lighting and shading and proportions were hard. especially the lips! I love the color choices I used and the exaggeration of the warm and cool colors. I tried to make the flowers the focal point. The arms were hard because the changing from light to dark. For me the most aggravating part was the shading under the neck and jaw line. Trying to have a dark color but still being able to see the neck was hard. the jaw line would either look too big or too small. My eyes were stressful because the angle is from up top, so the eye lids were half the eye itself. Towards the end it got easier because of highlighting. I was thinking about the spots where i put sunblock most the time if that makes sense. My favorite about this is the hair, because it has different tones and cool colors! I have a love and hate relationship with this pice. it's not my favorite.
