My idea was to make a dark purple flame with a dark pink center.  I made this with watercolor paint and marker.  If I started over I would work on the flame and make it fade more into each other, possibly with paint.  I didn't have enough time.  I really like the colors that I used. 

My idea for this painting was to have a self portrait with my face wearing a broken mask.  I sketched it out and had a good idea about how I wanted it to look.  If I started over I would make my skin tones a little bit lighter.  I also would not use any watercolor, I would just use acrylic.  I like acrylic better because it is much easier for me to use.  I really like I did the helmet and hood.  I think it has good detail.
