So I was happy with how my monochromatic painting looked, which was nice because I have really never painted before. Then came inking and retouching... It didn't go quite as well unfortunatley. Drawing with color to create an entire drawing was one thing but I really didn't know how to go about retouching my already painted picture. I wanted to stylize it but had absolutely no idea how to. So I winged it and my face turned it an unpleasant array of streaky purples. In an attempt to somewhat rescue it I had to layer over everything with black which helped alot but it still isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I think for my real portrait I am going to attempt to create more subtle retouching that enhances my picture and doesn't take it over. But I was happy with how my eye came out, now i just need to make the rest of it look good too.
