First attempt at Vector.

My first assignment at NAFA was to vectorize an image of a person, and I have to admit I got over ambitious in choosing the portrait of the Afghan Girl. Seriously, anyone has tips on vectorizing hair? I am losing my own hair in trying to give her hair! Wakakaka…

So anyway, the Afghan Girl, whose real name is Sharbat Gula, was forced to leave her home in Afghanistan during the Soviet war for a refugee camp in Pakistan. There, she was photographed by journalist Steve McCurry, and became recognized worldwide when her portrait was used on the cover of National Geographic on June 1985.

On a related note, as part of Month of Photography Asia 2009, an exhibition of Steve McCurry’s works is currently going on at the Asian Civilizations Museum until the 19th of July. You can check out the above link for other exhibitions happening as well :)

Have a good Sunday everybody!
