For this piece I drew my cousin Riley. One challenge that I had was with her hair. It had blonde streaks towards the front, which challenged me with how I gave her highlights. I decided to make the back pieces darker and then that would naturally make the front pieces look lighter. I was happy with how it turned out. Another challenge was her nose. From the picture I used, the lights and darks of the nose weren't very clear to see, so I struggled with where to put them. Also, I feel that it may look a little sideways so I want to fix that as well. I was pleased with how the smoothness of her skin turned out. I feel that this piece captures Riley's personality really well, and I think I was able to make that seen in my artwork. I have some changes that I will probably go back and fix, but for the most part I am pleased with how this turned out. If I were to do it again though, I would probably used a different picture. I had trouble seeing certain things. But other than that I enjoyed this piece.
