Self-Portrait, Assignment 1

Actually, I don’t have red hair and purple skin. But, red, purple, and black are my favorite colors. So, this portrait conveys my “self” to my audience implicitly. I started by drawing a basic face structure: an ellipse. Then, I worked on probably the most technical part of this sketch which was the hairstyle. I used a rectangle, triangle, and an arc to do that. I also learned how to make intersecting strokes with varying weights through this exercise. I made the eyebrows using this method. In the future, I will try to add animations and more details to this portrait to assess my growth in proficiency with p5js.
