I have always loved vector art, cartoony illustrations (I still watch cartoons!) and the like, so last year I set out to try making one of a photo of myself. The photo I used is on the about page. I followed a vector portrait tutorial on the net; it was one of Jack Nicholson from the Shining but the site I had bookmarked is closed and I can’t seem to find the tutorial anywhere else.
Constructive criticism always appreciated. =)
p.s.
One thing I painfully learnt was that I started out too small. The size you see there is the size I made it in. Making detailed parts like the eyes was difficult. A mistake I’ll not make again, that’s for sure!

Hi Andrea! I like the portrait!
I haven’t been to your site in ages but I like what you’ve done with it! Great job!
It’d be nice to talk to you on yahoo again sometime.
That’s very good! =D
Hey Moni! It’s nice to “see” you! =) I hardly have Yahoo on these days. I always seem to have so much to do and so little time to do it in. I really must get back on Yahoo and get in touch!
Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks Stello! =D Heeee! My daughter wants me to make one of these for her but larger, so it can be printed and used as a poster. My “vectoring” must not be so bad after all lol.
