Who knew I would actually be extremely happy with the way my self-portrait turned out? I started painting and suddenly a face formed under my paintbrush. This surprised me because I had very little idea of what I was actually doing. I was primarily guessing and checking as I went, which could have destroyed my art work. When I first finished the painting I had no desire to ink over and wash it because I was so happy with what I had created.
But I finally got the courage to layer over it with ink (after I asked Ms. Kiick diluted it of course, I wasn't that brave). I was very careful in the whole process so I would not take away to much of the vibrancy. Though the picture did come out slightly more muted but over all I think it just made the picture more subtle. The pencil allowed me to detail and highlight my favorite parts. Over all I was very happy.
