rfarn-assignment01-selfportrait

When first given the assignment to code a self portrait, my immediate thought was to create a portrait that was as realistic as possible. However, given my very little knowledge of coding, I soon found that that wouldn’t be possible. So I then turned to a more graphic, animated concept. Instead of creating a foreground and background portrait, I decided to use the entire canvas to illustrate my face. Once figuring out the placement of my face and hair, it was quick and easy to place and “draw” the rest of my facial features.

function setup() {
    createCanvas(600, 500);
    background(54, 37, 29);

  }

function draw() {
	noStroke();
	
	//face
	fill(250, 209, 178);
	rectMode(CENTER);
	rect(300, 450, 400, 600, 100);

	//hair
	fill(54, 37, 29);
	ellipseMode(CENTER);
	ellipse(500, 70, 600, 500);
	ellipse(100, 10, 300, 600);

	//eyes
	stroke(255);
	strokeWeight(3);
	fill(65, 56, 23);
	ellipseMode(CENTER);
	ellipse(200, 350, 40, 40);
	ellipse(400, 350, 40, 40);
	noStroke();
	fill(255);
	ellipse(190, 340, 10, 10);
	ellipse(390, 340, 10, 10);

	//mouth
	fill(0);
	arc(300, 425, 150, 100, 0, PI);
	fill(255);
	ellipseMode(CENTER);
	ellipse(300, 425, 150, 25);
	fill(250, 209, 178);
	rect(300, 400, 200, 50);

	//nose
	fill(233, 194, 164);
	arc(300, 395, 45, 20, 0, PI);
