Illustrator - Self Portrait 2

Here is my attempt at my own self portrait. I believe I did a really good job, however, I struggled with the hair detailing. I found it very tricky to get the angle and shape/thickness of the hair streaks I wanted.

I also found the shadowing/shading and highlighting very tricky to get right, as the image didn't have much for me to work with,

This project took me a long time and was very time consuming, however thoroughly enjoyable.
