Self Portrait

Done in Illustrator for a University assignment:

Outline:



Colored in:

very well done! but the lips look odd, maybe try changing the shade, they look too pink, but other than that it looks wonderful!

Thanks, I tried many shades and suprisingly enough, that looked best.

Pretty, I guess you can call it a vector. Not too sure. But it's good. It was best not coloured in. Simplistic that way and works better.

Just a couple of things, including his arm looks weird, the strap looks too static and "starched" (as in it's too solid) and the lines in the coloured version are a bit chopping.

But its a really awesome job you've got going for with the outline. And the face form is really good in a simplistic detailed way.
Im impressed.

May I asked what techniques you used to make it?

Took a photo of myself. Imported it into Illustrator and traced it all with the pen tool. Then for the colored version, brought the outline into photoshop and colored it in with the paint bucket.

It's supposed to show your aspiration.

the upper lip should be a tad darker according to the light source, I sorta wish that there was some sort of gradiation in the arms. Also, the bottom line that cojoins your shirt and your bicep feels very awkward, it's making your arm wider(fatter) than it probably is.

I know what you mean, but it's not a stand-alone project as such. Just a small bit of research for a bigger 2 week project.
