Things are NEVER perfect, so even when school is completely awful, my personal life consists of running here and there, and things just start piling up I am still trying to accomplish my goal of getting projects completed. It is so difficult to balance everything, but I am doing the best that I possibly can. This first week back to work has definitely been an insane journey. I did complete the 3rd figure in my portrait of beautiful ladies...

This past week I haven't had a ton of time to spend on my 4th figure, but I have certainly tried to get some finished! Here are the beginning stages and a layer-by-layer example of how I add color to my portraits.

Overall, this week has had MANY ups and downs. I have managed to apply for an Artist grant, apply and get accepted to a local ArtWalk themed toward portraits on April 17th, find TWO art contests that I am interested in competing in, and listed my commission portraits in 6 sizes/prices onto my Etsy Shop! Im very proud, but completely WORN OUT...LOL! Here's hoping for a very CREATIVE weekend ;)
