Artist's Comments

First of all... I AM NOT RACIST AGAINST ASIANS.
For this assignment, we had to take a photo of ourselves and then exchange it with someone else in class so they could draw it. There was a bunch of drama going on between me, my friend, and the Asian girl whose portrait I drew - why, I still don't entirely understand. The whole "Goddamn those Asians..." was sort of a joke we came up with about the whole thing. I was like "Look, I really could care less about what you think of me, I just wanna be able to do my damn homework and get a good grade on it."
If I had taken the reference photo myself, I would have put a LOT less cheek in it.

Overall, this is one of my favorite pieces that I've done this semester.

Yeah, I thought about that too. The lips were originally gonna be green, but I ended up throwing the blue in there in hopes of getting it to tie in with the hair/eyes better. I would have made them darker, but they were really light in the reference photo, so I chose to correspond with the tonal values of the original instead of using creative license to make them darker. Also, I kind of figured that if I had too much dark blue towards the bottom of the piece, it'd add too much weight at the bottom. Oh well.

Kadadj's comment is really stupid.

Anyway, I really like this! I just love all the colours and I think they compliment each other pretty well (blue and orange being comlimentary colours to begin with, so that helps). Also I like the perspective of the drawing/photo. What medium is this, pencils or pastels?
