In order to create this sketch, I decided to block out my face into basic shapes that I would be able to recreate with code. I began with a simple ellipse and moved on to create the expression and the hair. I used a lot of trial and error (especially for the arc objects) for the placement, sizes, and angles while trying to stick to a minimal color palette.
