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!
