Self-Portrait – Hana

The concept behind this self-portrait was to create a simplistic image which looks similar to me.

The most fun part of the design was creating the eyes, since there were so many components – eyebrows, eye line, eyelashes, iris and eye shine. I like the way I created depth in the irises by making a darker and thicker stroke, then putting pupils and eye shine which was white with lower opacity. Here is the code below:

//eyebrows
 stroke(105, 73, 31);
 strokeWeight(5);
 noFill();
 arc(200, 235, 45, 15, 180, 360, OPEN);
 arc(300, 235, 45, 15, 180, 360, OPEN);
 
 //eyes
 stroke(214, 164, 99, 130);
 strokeWeight(6);
 arc(200, 255, 45, 15, 180, 360, OPEN);
 arc(300, 255, 45, 15, 180, 360, OPEN);
 arc(200, 257, 40, 30, 90, 180);
 arc(300, 257, 40, 30, 0, 90);
 
 strokeWeight(3);
 stroke(64, 41, 11);
 fill(82, 54, 18);
 circle(200, 260, 22);
 circle(300, 260, 22);
 noStroke();
 fill(0);
 circle(200, 260, 10);
 circle(300, 260, 10);
 
 //eye shine
 noStroke();
 fill(255,255,255, 200);
 circle(205, 255, 7);
 circle(305, 255, 7);
 
 //eyelashes
 stroke(105, 73, 31, 130);
 strokeWeight(5);
 noFill();
 arc(180, 230, 15, 45, 90, 120, OPEN);
 arc(190, 225, 15, 45, 90, 120, OPEN);
 arc(320, 230, 15, 45, 60, 90, OPEN);
 arc(310, 225, 15, 45, 60, 90, OPEN);

In the future I would like to do something more special than just a simple portrait, maybe even include dynamic components. But since this was the first assignment and animation was not required, I decided to keep things simple
