1. I initially was running out of ideas for my thumbnail sketch, I drew my final design as a joke in one of the boxes. I also enjoyed modifying my design because it was very different from how I originally drew it. The process was very helpful for me because I was able to see what worked as a "P" and what didn't. 
2. I made sure I used dinosaur like qualities hence the fact that I drew claws and a tail. I also used commonly associated colors to effectively demonstrate that my design was in fact a dinosaur. 
3. The biggest challenge for me was shading in the character to create depth. At first I felt that it was a very bland piece but using white and different variations of purple I created the depth I had hoped for. 
4. I am satisfied with my project for the most part. I am happy with the way my dino looks however I am unsatisfied with it's teeth. The teeth look unfinished and unpolished. Lastly, I am unhappy with the background because it is weak and doesn't make my letter pop off the page which is what I had hoped for. 
5. I would change the teeth because they are too rounded as well as change the background. I would make the teeth sharper and I would put trees in the background to make it look more like a dinosaur.

If not already evident by the name of my blog, my name is Olivia Levin. I spend most of my time watching buzzfeed videos, deciding what to watch on Netflix and biking. One thing I couldn't live without would be soy sauce. I am addicted.


Great picture, I know. Mother- Daughter trip to Paris.  This was the most spontaneous thing we have ever done because we booked the trip the same day we left. The sun is blaring in our eyes as we desperately try to take a selfie in front of the opera house. 

I spent many summer days with kyra at soulcycle. We went, we sweated, we conquered.
I spent the majority of the summer with them ( Abby and Kyra) because we were in a college now course together. To take a break from the heavy workload we trekked to Long Beach and soaked up the sun. Enjoy the picture below to see the beginning stage of my very painful sunburn.
