 (IDEA) My idea was to make a self portrait exept the eyes are who I am and not just how the look its about the emotion behined them 

(PROCESS) So I first painted the canvas all tan So I first painted the canvas all tan (only to realize my skin was more pale, so I had to re-paint the canvas purple), and after the purple Dried, I put my sketch over the purple and, Started to mix my colors for my skin tone and the whites of my eyes. After I managed to get the color I wanted and I slowly started to build up the skin tone and then I started to very slowly build up the shadows then the whites of my eyes then my eye color. I finished with adding all the little details to the eyes, such as the shine and the different colors that go along with that shine, I also painted the fingers that are the two blobs above and under the ocean eyes. After I added the details, I was done, and I finished it with my signature at the lower right hand corner.

(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY) This piece of art isn't supposed to particularly mean anything it has meaning but the meaning can be anything and nothing or everything. This piece is supposed to let the viewer decide what they feel or if they feel anything I won't be offended any way they interpret this piece.  

(ARTISTIC GROWTH) the feeling it wasn't chaotic enough and still feel that when I look at it. I decided to walk away and say it's done when you need to. everything the sloppy line work defining details and shadows more.

(VISUAL VOICE) It's supposed to be more leaning into realisum
