In this assignment, I used the pen tool and the area fill type tool, along with the type on path tool. First, I started off with my skin as a base. I decided to use some of the shorter words to make the simpler things just so they would fit easier with the pen tool, like "art" or "artist". I then started adding facial features, changing the size of the text to make some areas bolder, like my eyelashes, or my pupils. After that, I started adding hair, using the "type on path tool" to make some hair strands, adding that extra detail. I then added my quote as the top part of my hair.
I think one of the biggest "design decisions" I made was putting my quote on top of my hair. I was going to put it on my shirt, but something about it there just didn't fit. So, I experimented with other places, like on top of my hair. I think it works there because it "closes off" the top of my hair, adding a bold line that I think makes it more visible that it's my hair. Plus, it works well because it's curving around but it's still easy to read. Another important thing I wanted to note is how I kept it grayscale. I considered adding color, but for this image I don't think it would work. I also just prefer the simple of the grayscale and how it doesn't take away from some of the smaller details. The last thing I want to talk about is the "Cheerful." I decided to put it on the shirt because I felt that my shirt was too simple, especially because it has no shading. I wanted to add it somewhere where it wouldn't be to blocky or in the way, since my face is already detailed and my hair has the quote on it.
