Description of My Portrait

Portrait of Me
recreated by Alyssa
First, draw a roundish head with tan that takes up 3/4 of the paper. Then make some straight hair down to the chin with a mix of yellow, brown, and orange. It should look blond. Then, about 3/4 of the way to the top of my head, draw two eyes. They should be about one inch long with two inches between them and from the side of my head to the closest eye. They should be 3/4 the way open. My eyelids are tan, and my eyes are white with a blue circle with a dot inside it that is black. Under the eyes and above the eyes draw about ten black eyelashes. About half an inch above the eyelashes draw a curved eyebrow about 1 and 1/2 inch long that is brown. Then, about an inch and a half below my bottom eyelashes, draw two round, pink cheeks that have a diameter of about 1 and 1/2 inches. After that, make a nose by starting from the eyebrows and down to the bottom of the cheeks. Make a circle, but stop when it runs into the two lines. About an inch below the nose, and as wide as the nose, draw red lips that are filled in with pink. After that, color my head tan. Then draw a neck about three inches long. Outline the neck and chin in black. Color the neck tan also. Then cover the bottom of the paper with a white shirt covering where my shoulders are and a tiny bit of my chest. Then you should hit the bottom of the paper. Then outline it in black.
After that, color the background blue and you are done!
Analysis
by Courtney
One problem was that the black pastels were smudged all over the tan face. The problem with my hair was that my partner made it pointy at the end on the bottom. which is unrealistic, but I didn't tell my partner to do that in the description. The background was almost perfect, but it was made with dark blue instead of light blue. That was my fault though because I wrote in the description to color it blue, not any specific blue. Everything else was perfect!
