I am most proud of my hair. I think that my hair is very well defined, and it looks very cool. I think it looks cool the way the other colors are shining from the light. Also I think the the features in my hair, such as the outline looks really defined. It borders the background color very well, and I think that the background color works well with my warm blue!:)

I think the feedback the Isabella gave me was very helpful! She told me that I needed more work and more detail in the eye area. So I did so; I believe that when I made changes in my eyes, and made them more detailed it made my artwork better. Also she told me that another coat was needed on the entire painting, which I proceeded to do, and at the end of the day, that made a heck of a difference!:P
