I did another portrait using a different photoshoot to see if there's much of a fluctuation in likes. Although this is very similar to the first colour pencil portrait, I did this in a more traditional style, on mid grey paper and more neutral colours to see if my followers preference is a traditional style or a realistic portrait in a contemporary style. In total it got 52 likes which was the second from most successful but didn't get as many as the first colour pencil portrait. This may have been because the first portrait was more colourful and unique yet the detail was still in the piece.
One downside to making art based on likes is that realistic portraits were chosen which take ages to draw, this piece took around 30 hours whereas if I used that time to do sketching and development work I would have so many more drawings.
