"I request you draw Grace as a superheroine (your choice of superpower)" -lizhasa I was brainstorming ideas for what Grace would be as a superhero, and thought of a few things: Super Mom, Power of Love, Power of Healing, and Shapeshifter. I asked Grace casually while she was falling asleep which power is best to be sneaky and she said love, and so I went with that one. I had a few of the ideas already sketched out (the first picture here), and then decided to try it out on MSPaint on a laptop touchpad! It is a tough way to go to be honest. But I wanted the clean and colorful computer look and I am sad that I can't use my computer which has Photoshop and is also broken. I totally forgot about the part that asked to put her in a dramatic screencap movie moment. So if you want, now that  I have her superhero, do you have any situation requests?! Hope you like Superhero Grace! :) Thanks for requesting!

So I was excited to see that my sister, Laura A., who is pursuing art in the UK was the second person to participate in my art blog Re-Quests! She gave an awesome example of a unique and interesting request. She said to do a "self portrait with 3 different skins" or something similar to that. I was going to do mixed media again but decided not to because it wouldn't have been as distinguishable. I may do it again with color if anyone thinks it's worth it! I had no idea how to go about this one for a few days. I imagined just striping different animal prints on a realistic self portrait, but wanted to really integrate what the idea meant into the creation. I looked up the scientific list of 5 major categories of skin in the world. I picked out feathers, scales, and fur. Which translated to wings, a scale breastplate, and furry legs! And my first attempts at drawing this were a little scary. This was the 3rd try, and I felt it was better as a quick confident drawing rather than a slow meticulous drawing. :) *Edit: Ah, I have to add, this attempt worked better because I used a head and gesture guide, hence the straight line going through his body. I didn't have an eraser, which is better practice anyway! But drawing the head and a line of any straight or curve will help if you ever are trying to create dramatic movement or stay on the path like this one. I wanted him to be standing very straight! :) Thanks Laura, hope everything's going well in Bath, England!
