I did a portrait of my friend Radek. I chose this person because I knew that they really enjoy art and loved doing this project. I made the portrait out of Skittles because they are one of his favorite foods. The image above is how much work was done after day 1 of working on the project. I had finished the majority of the head and face. After the second day, I had finished the piece, which resulted in the beginning pictures. I intentionally chose to leave the background blank because in my eyes the color of the portrait looks better against a blank backdrop. I found that drawing out the image before putting the Skittles down worked well, because then I could see what I was drawing. If I had to redo the project I would choose to glue the Skittles in a different way so that there wouldn't be as much of the stringy glue left behind.

So far, the nose warm up is the most useful in my portrait. Although I only had to sketch out my piece to be able to glue the candies to it, I needed to know how to make the nose look realistic. When drawing people the noise was never a strong point of mine, but now I posses the skills necessary to make one. The most surprising thing I found out about facial proportions is that your head is the length of one of your eyes times 5.
