Create and share your self-portrait!

Whether you've just picked out your reference photo, are excited about sharing your chosen color palette, really love your mood board or have a complete portrait to show us, we're excited to see what you've made. Upload any part of your project to the gallery!

Some things to keep in mind:

Your final portrait doesn't have to be a direct representation of your reference photo! Add little details that emphasize your style and personality.
Use the black and white photo trick to help determine your shadow placement.
If you're struggling to decide on a color palette, revisit lesson nine for a refresher on Laci’s three favorite tools for getting started!
