What you see in this picture is the sized ratio it going to be. I want this Vector portrait to look like me as much as possible, so far i think that i am doing pretty good. I want the size to be as big as possible. I have not yet decided my background. I have mostly been using the pen tool and the brush tool. I have not used any tutorials, i have just had a lot of trial and error.

this week i have been working on this, its not me but it is a practice image for me. I want to make my image life size. I have not yet decided if i want my photo to be landscape or portrait. In the background I will put some watercolor strokes in the background. The tools I have mainly used was the pen tool. I used Mr. Handsons advice.

This image above is of me if I were to be a South Park character. I went to the South Park website and I made my character, that looked like me. Then I saved the image into my folder and then opened in Adobe Illustrator. Then i used the shapes tool to create the major shaped like the head, eyes, legs, and hands. When it came to the harder shapes like the hair, eyebrows, and body shapes, I use the Pen tool and curved the lines the way I wanted them. After I have the outline of all the shapes that I wanted in my South Park character I used the Pant Bucket to fill all the shapes in with all of the colors that I wanted. I thought that my shirt look dull so I wanted to put a bike on my shirt because I love to go biking. I found a bike on the internet and save the image that I like and saved it to my desktop. After I saved it to my desktop I imported it to my Illustrator worksheet, and resized it and removed the white background, then finally pasted it to my shirt. Then with the background I created a new layer and used the paintbrush with water color strokes and used three different colors and just switch them and made some random strokes to it. That  is how I created my South Park character
