Analysis: I created this portrait to represent the beauty of innocence in a child's perspective. I was inspired to make this portrait, because I wanted to capture the imagination of a child's point of view, when they are reading a piece of literature. I created this image with one of my cousin's pictures, and I placed her in the magical and mysterious world of Dr. Seuss, one of her favorite books. Some challenges that I faced while I drew her face were drawing her eyes and her hands. Since the original image was a bit pixelized it was hard to captivate her face's and hands's exact size and shape, but I continued to draw and eventually I created new ways to make her face more life like. I shaded in her eyes with different values to give her eyes a more real look, and I colored her hands blue with watercolor pencils to give them a more unrealistic look. I even added swirls on her hands, with glitter to add an essence of magic. I have grown artistically over the semester, because I learned how to organize different sections of my drawings, I learned how to create values with color,and I learned how to draw different facial features, by creating this project this semester.
