I finally finished my painting! :) I really like how it turned out. I liked the colors I picked and I also like how I kept the same square patterns for Alison's hair and for the background, but I like how I changed it a bit for her face. I decided to keep doing the monochromatic colors, but instead of painting squares inside of squares, I decided to put paint strokes onto the squares. Depending on the color of the square, I added on both dark and light brown colors. I decided to to this pattern to not only make it look more unique, but also to keep varying the styles of my painting. I also added swirls of light brown to some of the squares instead of painting the paint strokes. But, I decided to paint a somewhat thick layer of paint strokes right under her chin to show the shadow. I decided to keep her lips plain and simple. I painted them a pink-ish tan color and added a darker tan line to show the separation of her lips. I painted her eyes their original color, gray-ish green, but decided to make her brows and eyelids a dark brown to fit with the color of her hair. I also added a slight glimmer to her eyes (the small white dot on the corners of her pupils) to show the shine and shading in her eyes. I really like how I painted her eyes, though, because whenever you look at the painting, the first thing you look at is her eyes. That means her eyes stand out against the rest of the painting, which I really like.
