Altered Self Portrait Project

What differences did you find between Photoshop and Illustrator?: The difference between Photoshop and Illustrator is that they both have a similar format, but different tools to use.
What is the difference between vector images and raster images?: Vector images use geometrical shapes to create images. Raster uses dots and pixels to create an image.
The process took me about 3 class periods to finish. I used the pen tool to select the shadows/highlights on my face then I used the eyedropper tool to match my skin tones and filled the shape with my skin color. I repeated this process until I got the result I wanted. At some points the shapes did not connect, so I had to start over a couple of times.
What new tools did you learn and use in Illustrator, and what jobs did they have?: Pen tool, used to draw shapes. Fill tool fills the shape with a color and the eyedropper tool picks a color close to the one you select.
What was your favorite (or most successful) part about this assignment?: My favorite part of the assignment is the finished result.
What was your least favorite part about this assignment?: My least favorite part is the process it took to make the finished result. It was tedious.

How would you improve if given the assignment again?: I would improve by using smaller shapes and making my shapes more geometrically even.
