This is the final self portrait piece. It's been a while since I've used acrylics in general, and it took me a bit of time to get into the swing of things again. The hardest part for me was the mouth, because I couldn't quite get it to look like mine even though it looked like the picture. I ended up redoing the mouth several times from scratch and I'm still not completely happy with it. I also have a hard time using a wide range of shades, because it's scary for me to go into the darker shades. To combat that with this piece, I just went in with the dark shades and tried not to think about it as I was doing it. You can see this on the shadows under the neck and the left eye. Overall, I really like the mood of the piece that comes from the expression and the dark shirt and background colors. When I look at this piece I feel like it's looking back at me, even through me.
