I am on the fence about how I feel about this project. I never thought that I could draw a portrait, but I did. One thing that bothers me about this portrait is the fact that it does not look like me at all- which was really the meaning of the whole project. My whole idea or theme around this project is that just because people don't talk a lot doesn't mean that they have nothing to say. This doesn't really apply to me, but I think it is just an interesting thought in general. Not voicing our opinions doesn't mean that we don't have them. At first the drawing didn't have a mouth, just stitches, but they looked really strange and made the whole drawing seem really "off", so I added lips, and I was going to stitch them up, but I decided to just leave them. If I could change some things about this project I would probably make it look more like me and I would fix the hair. The background is okay, it started with just a simple stripe background, but it looked like a mug shot, so I added words which I think add to the message of the project which was hard to see without the letters. I also messed up the chin. Ugh, it's okay.
