This project was hard for me because it was my first realy piece in oil paint, and my first portrait. For something that was different than just a regular portrait, I did different makeup and more of a shocked expresssion. To start this project I grided it out since I had never done portraits before and that really helped with the position of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Some problems I had while doing this was the nose because most of it is shading and not standard lines. Another problem I had was being to thin in my layers while painting. What I found good about this piece was that it was very easy to blend out the values, and the teeth that were showing actually turned out looking like teeth. Overall I think this piece came out well, but I would like to do another portrait again, now knowing what I learned in drawing about where everything is placed and how to properly shade it.
