I fixed the eyes (and hopefully altered the shape well too) and beard of my picture, and I believe i am as satisfied as i'll ever be with my portrait. Reflecting on the project, i am pleased with the outcome. I have never painted a person before, and was very worried about what my picture would look like. I guess because my expectations weren't very high, i was surprised with what i accomplished. By no means is this one of my best paintings, however it is one that i am most proud of, arguably. I think i did better than expected because i had a painting to look at while i worked, something i do with many of my own pictures, and that technique tends to work for me. I am much more apprehensive/worried about the next painting where i will have to paint my idol, because i won't have an actual painting to guide me, but i think if i take it little by little, i might be able to surprise myself again.
