For my self portrait I decided to draw a zombie because I like zombies. I wanted it to look like something I might’ve drawn in MS Paint, so I played around with shapes and colors until it felt and looked right.
The part I’m most proud of is the hair and bangs, since I had to align the points and angles perfectly to the pixel to make it one big coherent shape and honestly it was incredibly painful to do.

I didn’t have any help with this aside from a few tips from the p5 reference page. I just kinda figured things out as I went along. Because of this, there are some aspects of the code that probably could’ve been done more efficiently, so I’ll carry what I learned through trial and error here and apply it to my next project. I’m also thinking of having the colors in her eyes shift so that it looks like it’s spiraling. That’d be pretty cool I think.
