Today you will begin a mini assignment creating a monochromatic self portrait with vectors! I will give you a demonstration using the pen tool today in class.
Step 1: Take a selfie on photobooth
Step 2: Open the file in Illustrator
Step 3: Begin tracing yourself with the pentool (use the pencil tool and blob brush if you find that to be easier). Make sure that the fill is set to black.
Step 4: Uncollapse the layers so that you can periodically hide the jpeg and see how your illustration is coming along.
*This is tedious. You will have the full class to work on this portrait, so take your time and do this as accurately as possible. It will make a great profile picture when you are done!
Here is a tutorial to help if you get stuck:
