I defined my self-portrait as my identity and what I do and imagine my future to be. It was interesting to navigate through p5.js for the first time and trying to get around the different shapes and functions it has. Before trying to use the shapes, I made a rough sketch of what I imagined the portrait to look like.
I started experimenting with rectangles, lines, arcs and ellipses to sketch the buildings. It was a little tricky figuring out where to add in the stroke, fill, and stroke weight for the different elements in the sketch.
The buildings were easy to construct compared to the human face and body structure which contained more ellipses and arcs. In general, it was fun playing around it and I would love to work on more face features in the future.
