Thats not bad - cool

Just think the pink around the eyes looks odd, like you were going to paint the whole face but decided against it

I agree, the pink around the eyes is a little out of place, but for your first time its really good, I still can't get the hang of it.

Are you talking about the pink on the underside or on top?

I'm just soooooo used to Photoshop, and using Illustrator confuses me sometimes as I just taught myself to use it yesterday..

That's impressive for a first try! The first thing I did in Illustrator is still one of my best pieces... because I did it at work experience at a graphic design studio, and they taught me how to use it!

Thanks! :D

When it comes to Photoshop/Illustrator, I'm 100% self-taught.. I actually learned to use Illustrator (more specifically the Pen/Convert tools) the day I made that pic.

I'm currently working on 2 pieces right now because my friends liked that one so much they wanted one of themselves lol

Pretty cool for a first attempt. The more you use Illustrator, the more you'll like it. Retracking photos is a good way to learn the pen tool. It gives you lots of practice.
