I dislike this picture so much. a) I hate prisma colors. Either that, or I don't really understand what I'm doing with them. b) I dislike how I drew this picture. Let's get started.

I tried very hard to layer my colors and build up the prismas, but I don't think that I was too successful at it, which is a big problem with this piece. I also think that I didn't do too well at choosing my colors for the color scheme. I think I chose fairly dully colors and a fairly dull background to work on, which didn't do anything to exhibit how saturated the prisma colors can be. I also feel that while my piece came from an interesting idea, the composition was lackluster and unappealing.
The thought behind this piece, how this artwork is a reflection of me, is that I love to write. The original picture is of me, writing in my journal, with the words of my journal reflected in my bracelet. I have a couple thick, band-bracelets that I wear fairly commonly, and so that was another insight into me and my life.
To improve this piece, I think that I would improve my prismacolor technique, change the colors that I used, and try to go a lot slower. That is a reoccurring problem from me that everyone is probably sick of hearing about, I know, but I am very anxious to finish things when I really should be slowing down and concentrating on the minutia of my piece.
