For my final project I used acrylic paint, the grid, and a image to reference my drawing in order to complete my final. I found this project to be very challenging, but I found that I grew as an artist with gaining skill with acrylic paint and drawing. The biggest idea behind my artwork was to use contrast colors with the yellow hair and the purple background. And I wanted the lines and the rectangles to capture the viewers eye due to the bright and dramatic color. Overall my goals for this project was to get better at using value and shading in the face to create shadows and create a somewhat realistic portrait. Another goal of mine was to get really experienced with creating skin tone and using highlights in the skin and low lights. In the end, I am suprised on how my work turned out, it looked better than what I pictured :)! In the end I am happy with the turnout of my project.
