For this piece I drew my brother. I enjoyed this piece because there was a strong contrast between the lights and darks of his face. His complexion was one of the most difficult things for me because his skin is dark and he has plenty of freckles. He also has a little bit of facial hair which challenged me as well. I am pleased with how it came out. I also was scared to do the hair, but I really like how it turned out. I wanted to incorporate texture into this piece, and I plan to for the rest of my pieces as well. I decided to make a pattern for his shirt. I really like how this adds to the piece. I still may go back and add some more darks, but I am very pleased with this piece. I also like the highlight that is shown on his right half of his face, it brings contrast. Overall, this is probably one of my favorite pieces and I am very pleased with how it turned out.
