Description Used the program Adobe Illustrator to do this self portrait for a project at uni. Got a little carried away with the shading and probably could have spent the time doing other areas of the vast mountain of homework I have but oh well here it is! I'm pretty new to Illustrator but I'm learning slowly. Enjoy!

Did you just use a mouse to make this? Did you trace over a source photo or use a vectorizer?
