Today I finally finished My A0 acrylic self portrait, I am really pleased with the way that it looks now that it is finally finished. It did take a little long that I thought that it would at the start, as it took nearly two day just to draw it out, but I do feel that it is one of my best paintings and that I when I actually started painting it, it didn't take too long. I think that that part that I found most difficult was the nose, as it was actually quite hard to get right, without making it look like I had a pigs nose, it took a bit of time but I think I got it pretty good and quite accurate. The part that took the most amount of time was probably the hair, as there is a lot of it and it is a lot of different shades of brown, and I had to add in all the fine wispy hairs in with a really small brush.
Overall I am really pleased with this piece and at first I thought that I would be overwhelmed by the size, but it wasn't actually that bad after all and I think I go quite a good likeness to the photograph.
