INVESTIGATE:

The problem: I have to draw an avatar of my self. I really cant get my face right so I will get a picture online to help me with the face and hair. I l so don't want to use black for my hair or eye color so I will have to play around to see what color I want.

PLAN

I will use this picture because it seems to have the blank face i want with the hair. I will trace this into illustrator

CREATE

EVALUATE

What challenges did you encounter when creating your product?
At the beginning I really didn't know how to use the paint brush tool. It wouldnt do what I wanted it to do.
How did you cope with these challenges?
At the beginning I asked the teacher for help. Once he showed me my errors I played around with their brush controls and after a while i learned to get exactly what I wanted

What went particularly well in creating your product?
 I realy liked  the hair I am really proud of that I had to ask help in order to change the color and get the skin-tone right but once i did I knew exactly what I was doing.

If you were to redo the project from the very beginning, what would you do different?
My picture seems ok but if I could go back then I would use a diffrent face because there is too much negative space. I wanted to do like a backround but I didnt think I could finish it on time. 

What is something you can take from this project that can aid you after its completion?
Because of this project I know exactly how to manipulate the brush tool since I used it so much.
