Assignment 1: Self-Portrait

Overview
For my first assignment, I was tasked with creating a self-portrait using p5 code. I used the different shape functions available within p5 to draw my portrait, such as: ellipses for the face and body, rectangles for the glasses, ghitra, and part of the tarboosha, triangles for the nose and other part of the tarboosha, and a curve for the mouth. I used a picture of myself from Flag Day as a reference image.

Code Highlight
I do not particularly favor any part of my code in specific, but if I had to choose one part, I’d choose the glasses, because it was more time consuming to align the different parts together:

// Draw Glasses
strokeWeight(3);
fill(GlassesColor);
rect(100, 90, 40, 25, 5);
rect(160, 90, 40, 25, 5);  
line(140, 98, 160, 98);
strokeWeight(1);

Reflection
This is an extremely basic drawing with no special functions or complexities. Looking to the future, I definitely have the ability to make a more accurate representation of myself while adding some interactive elements to make the portrait more fun.
