Description
A part of my summer AP Studio Art project.The criteria was something along the lines of a portrait that used certain colors in combination with the content to set a certain mood.
I fucking suck at portraits [obvs], but thought it'd be a nice challenge.
Cause that's the point, right?
I would really appreciate critique on things I could change/add to, but please nothing that's set in stone.
I'm very aware of the stupid flaws that I've already made permanent.
Thanks~
Prismacolor Marker; a broken, black CD; silver marker, shitty, old watercolor.

Looks alot different than your other stuff (in a good way ) The entire thing is coated in all the vibrant colors instead of just the foreground.
Very nice .

beautiful as always. I especially like the way you coloured the eyes and face. I think that you have to work on making your marker strokes smoother though

Thank you very much!
I agree with you, completely. I did very little planning as of x color would take up x amount of space and it resulted kind of streaky hahaha

well struggled >___<
half profiles are the biggest challenge (beside hands and hairs and feet and ...XD )
to proof the porportions i very often use a mirror, i try to dupe my brain hehehe
i think the left cheek could be a little less broad
understood my genglish?

Thank you haha!
I definitely agree with you -__-
Mirrors are a good idea (:
I noticed that, but I actually broadened it because the face was too long and slender, and I had already pretty much inked the right eye so I couldn't readjust D: Blehhhhh haha

Yeah I agree judging from this you're really great at doing portraits and so creative with the use of a cd and all the beautiful, vibrant colors. And the emotion it quite powerful too, this piece!

I really like this picture especially the hair and the expression on her face.
The only advice I can give that differs from what Bluemoonbirdy already said, is that I think the left eye is slanted upwards just a tiny bit too much. But you still did a really fantastic job on this.

The portrait really isn't bad. I Love the way you did the lips! The nose is a tad off and the palm of her hand seems awkward to me, but only slightly. Otherwise I like the use of color and I find the shattered cd pieces to add a nice touch. Nice! :]
