For NMD 295, Matt had us do a vector portrait. I had seen a few of these done before and they all looked fantastic so I assumed that it wasn’t difficult… Of course, I was horribly wrong. I had used Illustrator a few times before, although my novice with the pen tool shows up in this portrait. We only had one hour to do the entire assignment and I had to go a tiny bit over to add detail to the hair and beard. The hardest part, for me anyway, was moving on when something didn’t look perfect. Overall I really enjoyed the project and will be doing a few more of these later in the year.
