Reflection & Summary 

 This project allowed me to become familiar with some of the tools in Adobe Photoshop such as working with the pencil, brush, text, and layers tools. This part was very challenging for me to grasp because I don't have the steadiest hand and I am new to using photoshop so some obstacles were presented at the start of this project. I struggled the most with using the pencil tool for all the fine details such as the eyes, eyebrows, and lips. The easiest part of the project was doing the hair because it was a much bigger section than the rest of the details on the face so it was easy to create those strokes. I also found that outlining the shirt, shoulders, and arms because doesn't need a lot of fine-tuning and attention to detail. Although, this project presented many challenges as a beginner, I enjoyed becoming more acquainted with Adobe itself. Overall, this project made me feel proud of myself for not giving up and being generally pretty happy with the result of my first Adobe Photoshop project. As well as, gaining a little more knowledge on how to navigate Adobe while picking up helpful tips and tricks to use in upcoming projects.
