Portrait

I made a portrait of President Obama with the pen tool. I traced the image first then traced parts of the portrait to add my colors because for some reason, i couldn't paint my work. after that, I worked on the little details such as the wrinkles on his face and his clothing. Then after that I finished off be adding alittle bit of shading to the image by pen tooling out the shadows on the real image and then adjusting it to the portait.
