Just lightening up those shadows on the face made me look so much less freaky. Although, there is still much to be done in the upcoming layers.

Pretty sure I look even more scary now that before. After working on Mark's portrait today as well, I realized that the shadows on my face are just way too dark. So before I go onto the next layers I will be correcting that.

I look really creepy- like a witch, but it will look more human and like me by the time I am done, I promise.

The face will continue to look creepy until the final layers, until all the colors mix and all the features are finished. But despite the eerie look of the eye, I am pleased with the progress. It is a little slow and tedious sometimes. Just that side of the face took hours. I am happy with it though. I do need to work on getting more color variety in my shirt but I probably won't get to that until after I finish this layer of the face.

You may have noticed that I have been working around the face in this painting as well as in the one of Mark. The face is the trickiest part. Progress will go a lot slower now, but I am excited. The face is really the most interesting and exciting aspect of the painting.

As I mentioned previously, I was going to do a self-portrait to go along with the portrait of Mark I am working on. Well, I decided to start that this week. This is actually after the second day of working on it.
