This was the portrait I did today! My model was Sarah. The entire project was done in the dark since everyone was complaining about how hot it was in the room and how the lights just couldn't stay on. So obviously, I just said screw it, and decided to paint a portrait in the dark. So what, right? 

I also only looked at Sarah for the portrait sketch; she was busy once I started painting, so I made up the rest of her face based on memory.

I think this came out okay, considering that I did all of this in complete darkness.
