The warm up that is most helpful to me so far is the hair warm up. I've always wanted to learn how to draw hair and all of my past attempts didn't turn out so well and I was nervous going into the portrait worrying over how I was going to the hair, I didn't know how to incorporate the highlights to make the hair realistic and look curly. The warm up/tutorial explained to me how to draw hair really well and it showed where and how to add the highlights, the darker parts and shadows of the curl of the hair, with the darkest part at the ends/sides of the curl and the shadow is on the part of the curl that is in the "back" of the curl and as you go towards the middle of the curl you get lighter to add highlights. It also showed me how to make it actually look like the hair is curly and most importantly to actually look like hair. It also showed me how to end the curl of hair, which I've always been concerned about and also it showed me how to make it look like the lock/piece of curly hair is not just one clump of hair, but made out of lots of strands of individual hairs by showing a certain type of stroke with a pencil to use when drawing hair and showing how to add values, with some strands being light and others being dark, it made the curl of hair look like it was made out of many strands and that it wasn't just one solid curl/piece of hair. It also showed me how to add stray strands of hair and not make the curl and make it not look too messy or weird but natural. The person I'm drawing has dark curly hair and it's a very prominent, beautiful and ideal trait of her appearance so it is very important that I get it correct and that it to look realistic like her hair for her portrait. Also, for a portrait when drawing a person, for me how the hair is drawn is very important and it has to be very similar to the hair o the person you are drawing, I feel like if you don't get the hair right, the portrait doesn't come out looking like the person you are drawing and making a portrait of. What I found the most surprising about the facial proportions was that five eyes could fit across your face, more specifically half way down your face where they are supposed to be. the reason I found it surprising is because I didn't think human eyes were that small, I thought they would be bigger and wider than that; I thought at least 4 eyes could fit across. I also think I found it surprising because I've never really thought about it and when I was finally told the proportions and was hit with reality I found it really surprising. I also think I was surprising because I didn't think there was a common measurement or proportion for eyes, I just thought that everyone has different sized eyes and proportions for their eyes; I didn't think that most people would commonly have five eyes fit across their face, I just thought that there was some people who had 4 that could fit across ther'r face or 6 across their face, I didn't think there was a majority of a certain number of eyes being able to fit across the face.
