Final polygon portrait.

This is my polygon project.
     The strongest part of this piece is the line structure. The way my face is divided into small triangles at my lips nose chin and eyes then my facial structure being large triangle gives off  a more 3-D and shadowy realistic appearance. The way i colored is in could use some work i wish I didn't leave so much white especially at the very top right of my forehead.
     To create this project I started off outlining a picture of myself with the pen tool. From here I used the fill tool I decided not to use any gradients because I wanted a darker mood to it and I felt that dull flat colors would make that happen. The easiest part of making this was doing the fills, all I needed o do was click the area I wanted to have color and illustrator filled it in with the most noticeable and common color in that area. The hardest part was making the outlines and having all closed shapes. When it came time to color in my outline I was completely stumped because not all my lines were closed so colors were going where I did not want them.
     If I could do this assignment again I would not leave as much white. I chose to do that because I did not want it to look like a living person I wanted to give off the look of a mask even, and like I had previously said  I wanted some color to give it a duller mood. I believe my effort on this project is about an 8 out of 10. I don't want to say 10 because I feel like there is always a little more I could do but definitely at least an 8 because i really did not know what I was doing but I did not give up on it and I did try a lot of things with it before i came up with the final result.
