The portrait makes use of simple shapes such as ellipse, triangle and lines, and coloring with the RGB color code. My idea was to code up a simple human face and the upper body on a cool background of the sky, clouds, sun, mountains and trees. The shapes are layered on each other which creates the illusion of perspective and depth.
I’m particular happy with the implementation of human hair and clouds which both make use of ellipse. After thinking through how to implement them, I simply decided to use ellipse and interlay them on each other to create my desired shape.
The code for the cloud is shown below:
The implementation of the assignment:
Reflection:
In future, I intend to explore ways to make the portrait more interactive and dynamic. I intend make the eyes move relative to the position of the mouse, the sun and clouds move across the sky and the face more animated.
Nicely done. Like the choice of colour palette.
