Kick-off Illustrator

During the opcoming few weeks we will have to use Illustrator for our next project.

Yesterday we had our first lesson. The teacher explained us how to make some basic paths using the standard shapes, the pen tool, the lines tool and pathfinder. He also tought us how to make rounded edges on the shapes we drew.

In order for us to practice what we've learned he gave us an assignment. He wanted us to trace over an icon image (containing a person). In order to make a vector based icon.

This is the icon I chose:
