As I'm sure you've all noticed, I'm totally into Illustrator right now. It just so happens that I'm in an Illustrator class. So I present to you, my first Illustrator assignment.
Our assignment was to make a face using the pen tool and what have you. Most people traced pictures, but I drew another cute little character.

This one, I took inspiration from vintage style and colors. I really like using limited palettes, the kind you see a lot in vintage colors.
By the way, I did not make that texture in the background, it's one that came with the program.
