Description EDIT: Changed the background


I got fed up with this, just decided to finish it off roughly and submit it.
There are many ways how I could have improved it, but since it is my first complete vector, I decided to just add a few transition layers to "blend it out". I would have continued it properly had I been neater with the layer order.

Ok; I don't really know how long this took me to make... Its is far from perfection, but I'm proud that I actually finished it off!

In all, it has 441 layers.
I am glad that I managed to grasp the main concept of vectoring, and will try complete another one in the future!

If anyone knows how to improve the quality of the deviation, please let me know - as lost a lot of its quality...

The hair should have more than one shade, but I got bored of it.
The edge of the chin should have a shadow, and so should the part near the eye.

I will post a progression/WIP soon.

Haha Actually it isn't that complicated. Just use many groups and be organised- which I did at the beginning but then... It pissed me off

I know what you mean. Good thing you stuck with it long enough to get it finished so you could put it up in your gallery
