Throughout making this, I learned many things about portraits as well as some things about shading. Making the portrait was a very good a fun experience that increased my skill as I did not know about certain methods displayed in this project before. The shading was a bit difficult, especially in the hair and background area, but was bearable as I have a lot of experience in shading and suing graphite without smudging. But the concept that I most learned from this experience that will help me is the use of the grid boxes on both the reference picture and the drawing that guided me on where to draw everything similar to the method that the famous artist Chuck Close does. In the end, this artwork did surprise me that it was able to turn out so well but if done again I would like to retry the shading in the hair and background areas.
