Adobe Illustrator Pen Tool Self-Portrait

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I took this lil’ pic of me and traced over every shadow and individual shape with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I colored every individual shape to match the original picture. It looked like a terrifying inhuman being until you get all of the shadows in. Zooming in and making the pen tool shapes as specific and close to scale as possible is essential. The glasses were hard, but were created using the shape building tool. I chose a background that looked fine, and here we are!

I am a confused teenager that uses movies as a way of understanding the deeply troubled world around me. Is it the most effective way of doing this? No. Would I change that? Also no. My favorite movie is Hot Fuzz (for now), my favorite band is Ben Folds Five, I have an unhealthy amount of Funko Pops!, and I love Nintendo. I was an extra in a Disney Channel show, so I would consider my life a success. My little cousin is my favorite thing, and 2011’s The Lorax is my least favorite thing. I hope I can make a career in film but in the meantime, I’ll shove every movie I can get into my eyeholes.
