I wanted to do an astronaut as my project this week. I attempted to add a stars generator in the background (as seen in my code) – however it would not allow my random generator for the face to start fresh. It would over draw what was existing before. Although I had fixed that issue – the star generator had disappeared. This is what it looked like with the stars:

Before I begin any project I always start in adobe illustrator and this always helps visualize projects.
