OBJECTIVE: To generate a visual representation of ourselves in any preferred illustration style.
PROCESS: I initiated the process by outlining tonal variations on my face, defining highlights and shadows. I then started on details, such as eyes and eyebrows. I crafted personalized brushes in Illustrator to address specific challenges, particularly the hair. Overcoming difficulties, the creation of an optimal brush created a smoother workflow. I found the assignment relaxing and amusing to visualize oneself transformed into a cartoon representation.
MEDIUM/TOOLS USED: Adobe Illustrator
