I selected the inspiration pieces because they were the ones that stood out to me the most, as well as because they were each done in a different style. I used pencil and colored pencil for my self portrait because I thought it would turn out the best by drawing it and adding some color. The challenges that I faced were mainly figuring out how to draw the self portrait and deciding which media to use. It worked out that I overcame them by using the pencil drawing because I could erase any mistakes. This piece represents me because it is me. It was the best reflection of myself that I could draw. I used line and color in my work and I also believe that there is a balance in the blue and brown on each side. The project was enjoyable to work on. I found it fun to try and create a self portrait and it was interesting to see how it turned out. The finished product, in my mind, was pretty good and a good reflection of myself.
