For this project, I created a portrait of myself wearing a raccoon onesie using basic primitive shapes in the p5.js editor.
The part that I am most proud of in my portrait is the raccoon tail, which I used many variations of ellipses to create. It was also one of the most challenging, as I had to experiment with the coordinates to get the proportions right.
// tail
fill(120, 125, 130);
ellipse(285, 330, 90, 40)
fill(65, 70, 75);
ellipse(275, 330, 15, 40)
ellipse(295, 330, 15, 40)
ellipse(315, 330, 10, 30)
How it was made. I used many shapes such as the ellipse, triangle, circle rectangle, and arc to create the features of the person. I also messed around with the reference page in p5 and used AI for color accuracy.

What I would like to improve upon in the future are my proportion and shape variety skills. i would also like to learn how to use the translation and rotation commands to make my designs more life-like. Additionally, I would also like to strengthen my documentation on the blog.
