My portrait is of my best friend since 3rd grade, Katie. We have been friends for more than 6 years and we met because of the fact that we live in the same neighborhood. The medium that I used was paint chips, I just cut them up into little squares. The first thing I did was sketch the picture that I had, then I did the eyes and lips first since I thought that would be the hardest part. Then I did all the highlights and shadows on the face and after that I filled in the white space with the skin tone. After I was done with the whole face I did the hair, however I never actually got the time to finish my portrait. I think that the eyes are the most successful part but if I were to do the project again I would use a lighter color for the shadows on the face and I would take more time to do the hair. The warmup that was most helpful for me was the facial proportions one because it helped me to see where everything on the face needed to be place. Even though faces are different the proportions are usually pretty constant.
The thing I found most surprising about the facial proportions was that the eyes are actually in the middle of the head rather than at the very top like I thought before.
