While learning how to create vector illustrations I chose to make a self-portrait. I used a photo, adjusted it in Photoshop and then spent couple of hours in Ilustrator. I mainly focused on the eyes, where I added a lot of layers to create the details and to make the whole image look good from a distance. 

 

I'm not (yet) very good with designing hair, therefore I created one more version, which is a bit more surreal.
