I was very awesome during this project. I was on the ball the entire time!  I was even ahead at some points.  I knew what I was doing, and did it fantastically.  Frankly, I would only change one thing about my project: add a background.  I had tried to, but Blender wouldn't cooperate with me, so I omitted from the project.  that's the only thing that wasn't awesome about my project.

Legalization of Marijuana

I believe that marijuana should be legalized.  It is currently legal in 23 states and Washington D.C.  Pennsylvania is one of the 23 who legalized it's use for medicinal purposes. According to Business Insider, marijuana's many beneficial uses is relieving pressure in eyes, reducing risk for glaucoma and blindness.  It can also help reverse the effects of tobacco products and improve lung health.  In a 20 year study with tobacco smokers and pot smokers, tobacco smokers lost function over time, but pot smokers actually had increased lung capacity.  It can also help with seizures and Dravet's disease.  Among that, it helps reduce Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, the spread of cancer, and the pain of multiple sclerosis.

While Marijuana can do all these amazing things, a lot of people adamantly hate the recreational use of marijuana.  Most people throw around the phrase "Gateway Drug", even though anything could be a gateway to something.  If I eat 100 chocolate chip cookies and someone recommends Oreos, and I eat 100 Oreos, then those chocolate chip cookies were "Gateway Cookies."  So, while it can be addictive, so can anything if you 'ingest' it.

The Video

I have applied armatures and IK constraints in this project. If I didn't apply armatures this would've a lot harder and almost impossible.  IK constraints also made this project feasible because it limited the bones movement, so that the bone moved realistically and not willy-nilly.  If I were to do this project again I would've spent more time on the palm of the hand, because it looks very odd.  Some successes I had with this project was I was actually on task for most of the project.  Another success was understanding armatures from the get-go.  All in all this project was pretty fun.

I was pretty persistent during the duration of this project.  My focus and care whilst working on this project was superb.  If I were to do this project again, I would put teeth in instead of making it black.  I would also spend more time on the portrait with custom photoshop shapes.  I only had one day to complete that one.  The hardest aspect of this project was the tracing of the original picture.  Everything else was easy to do and understand.  I would do this project again if I had to.
