1. For my first project I picked portrait making because I love to draw and I think drawing is what I am best at. Even though I like to draw, I have never really done a portrait before and I wasn't familiar with how to do accurate facial proportions. I wanted to learn how to make a realistic portrait because i think that is a valuable skill for an artist to learn.
2. The most challenging part of this project was making sure that I made the proportions correct and trying to make the portrait look realistic and like my reference photo was challenging. This was especially challenging for me because I am used to drawing objects and still life rather than faces so all of the concepts were new to me.
3. I think the piece came out very well and was a success. It was better than I envisioned and I was surprised that it came out so well. I think I underestimated my abilities and had lower standards for myself since this was my very first portrait.
