Assignment 1 – Self Portrait

For this self portrait I was inspired by the art style of Toca Boca, a mobile video game I used to play a lot as a kid. So I attempted to create myself in that art style.

 Highlighted Code:
I am proud of this code because I originally was worried with how I would create the hijab, but I ended up simply creating a circle and making the “head” above it. Even though it’s just 2 circles on top of each other, I’m glad I found a simply solution.

//hijab
fill('#523F2D');
circle(width/2,height/2,270);

Reflection:

I’m happy with the final result, when starting I thought I wouldn’t be able to create what I envisioned. I did want to add some hair, and I tried with arc using HALF_PI but with the hijab it didn’t work so I scratched that idea. I think for future assignments I want to try to make my work interactive.
