Self-portrait I did using the same methods I had back on the practice portrait assignment. Created mainly by using the curvature tool. I created the effects on the hair by making some bean shapes and adjusting them to where I liked them before I used the shape builder tool while holding Alt. I created the shadows by making a crescent shape, changing the opacity to 50, and blending mode to multiply so it wouldn’t have a greyish shadow.
