Starting my Self Portrait

This week I have mainly concentrated on thinking how i would like to do my self portrait project. I have worked in my sketch book a little bit, and I am not really clear on how I want it. I am thinking I would like to do it in black and white, with maybe rainbow colored sunglasses and hair to make a contrast. I have not yet figured how to make things rainbow, so I will have to mess around with Illustrator some more. The pen tool for Illustrator has now become my hero, because it makes it so much easier to trace around things, such as my hair. And I also discovered that it makes life way easier to put things on separate layers, so now I have layers for hair, sunglasses, shape of face, etc. I have a feeling this project is going to take quite awhile to finish.
