Before I started coding, I made a sketch in Illustrator, so I could keep it simple and cute. Sketching it first helped me ground myself so I wouldn’t be lost immediately trying to code shapes without an image in mind first. It took a lot of time plotting points and getting used to the fashion of “drawing shapes” in this way. My friend helped me save some time; we took a screenshot of some of my existing work and dropped it into a 600×600 Illustrator doc, so I could find the points easily and insert them into my code.

I regret not starting earlier and rushing myself, because I think I would have had more fun if I utilized my time better so I could experiment more. Next time, I’ll manage myself better instead of being afraid to dive in.

Also, I thought I drew my portrait centered but I guess not?? Oops.
