Self portrait



In this painting i was trying to show one side as being a quiet, chilled out person and with the pink, i was trying to show my loud and happy side. Although the pink side didn't turn out as bright as i would have liked it to, i think that it looks good. I had a lot of trouble with the blue side, i tried to make it light and dark in some parts but then it got too watery. With the pink side, i wanted it to be brighter then it turned out. When I drew the picture i feel as though it didn't turn out looking like me, but i think i could have done a better job if i worked a little longer on it. I had a lot of trouble with the background and hair, they blended together, making it hard to see where the hair ended and the background started.
