Self-portrait

Drawing a self-portrait out on paper wasn’t too difficult – it didn’t take me too long to sketch out a picture of myself with pencil and paper. But creating a sketch of myself with processing was a long process. The task easily took me at least a couple of hours, as I tried to fine tune all of the features of my face and made sure the color and stroke width were right. On paper, I could visualize in my mind the picture I wanted, and it was easy to transfer that vision from my mind to my sketchbook. On the computer, it was definitely harder, as I couldn’t control exactly where I wanted the lines and features to go. I think both mediums were the same in terms of visualizing the final product, but as for actually creating it, it was much more difficult coding it in processing.
