For this project we scanned our faces into the computer and recreated them using the pen tool in Illustrator. I had already made something similar to this a few summers ago in Tyler's Pre-College Summer Workshop when I took the Graphic Design & Illustration course, but that portrait was just a straight head shot. The scanner element to this particular picture gave it a cool and odd sense to it that I began to like, even though at first it seemed like this process would be hard to manage. I really had a fun time getting the details in and making it resemble the original photograph as much as possible. I especially liked how the hair turned out, which I designed by using a variety of brushes in different colors and styles. The hand and the necklace were the hardest parts for me to create but I think overall I was pretty successful in attaining a well rendered portrait.
