For Exercise 2, I used "portrait" & "two media" & "shading" prompts for this piece. On all three of these exercises... I tried to limit my time on them and not get into a perfectionist mindset.

The portrait is reminiscent of what I look like IRL. I have Atopic Dermatitis... and it is flaring so I included some of the sores/scars.

For exercise 1, I played with lines and circles. I used a black sharpie and multiple Posca markers. On the piece for Line work... I also used a little bit of colored pencil.

 

 

I have yet to do exercise 3 and 4... but I am excited to keep this up!
