For this piece, I drew my mom. This is different than the rest of my concentration pieces because I decided to change my medium. Instead of pencil, I used Prisma colored pencils. I liked the outcome of this piece, but I am not sure if I will do another Prisma colored portrait. It was very difficult to get the skin the right shade and texture. The few wrinkles that my mom has, were difficult to do as well. It was hard to get the right shade in each particular spot. The eyelid was also very difficult for me, especially the wrinkled part. Once I had everything laid out, I then when back over the skin to add her freckles. That part was difficult because she had parts of skin that looked brown because there were so many freckles there. I am still not finished with this yet, I probably will end up adding a background color. I am pleased with the outcome, even though it was challenging. I would like to try it again, but it is very time consuming.
