At the end of the day, I had a total of fifteen layers. All I can say is, the only tool I used, was the power of the pen tool. For every part of the face, I used a base lay, shadows, and highlights. Just because it makes things easier. If I were to have everything in one layer, it would get too messy, and be hard to arrange things. Multiple layers come in handy.
In my self-portrait, I used Adobe Illustrator. The mood that I tried to give was an outrageous one. I see all of these portraits with a serious smile but, I kind of wanted to put a twist on things; so, I decided to use a funny face. I believe that everyone should be able to be themselves, no matter where you’re at. Feel free to be yourself. What about the webs in the background? Well, I’m a HUGE fan of Spiderman, so I thought it would be awesome to interpret some Spiderman in the portrait.
