Concept: Do I exist or live in a fantasy?

I used unity to connect this piece to the first piece from the red watercolor in the background. It also shows the contrast between the fantasy and reality because the use of value and color.

I like the myriad of colors that I used, the value for the face and the texture that I created for the face.

I would like to improve on the scale and proportions of the face.

This shows how we are trapped in a fantasy, which helps push the question on do we exist or trapped in a world that we created.

Concept: Do I exist or trapped in a fantasy?

I used colors that were in contrast with each other to represent the difference between existence and fantasy.

I liked the colors that I used, the variety of the colors and also the contrast that I created.

I want to improve on the blotchiness and the show some emphasis since this piece was too broad.

I can portray my thoughts on being trapped in a fantasy in an abstract way.
