The Full Story
Self-Portrait
For this assignment, I used Adobe Illustrator to create a self portrait in a painterly style. I was asked to take a photo of myself and consider the elements within the photo including lighting, positioning and texture while also creating a unique background that didn't exist in the original photo image.
My Work
Above is the original image and the final work. As you can see, I took this project very seriously as no one wants their own self-portrait to look bad! I also did not want to showcase my messy closets so instead I brought forth my personality as a background. Pictures are very hard to tell how someone's personality may be, so I decided to show mine using my background. I choose bright colors while still using color rules to show my loud and bubbly personality.
