This is a project I was looking forward to doing the entire year. It was very fun to create customize the colors and seeing how they all come together to make your face.
We started out with taking a picture and adjusting the contrast. After that we went into Adobe Photoshop CS6 and used the Liquify effect to reduce the picture to a maximum of three sections with different shades. I decided to go with purple. While tracing the picture I really thought there was no hope, I looked like an amorphous blob.
The process of painting was more than frustrating. Getting in the small edges without messing up the rest of the picture was really hard. I also made the mistake of mixing my darkest to make it a lighter shade color too early, because I ended up needing it afterwards.
Overall I am very satisfied with how it turned out. I love how the color mixing came out and I overall managed to paint it and make it look like my face.
