As I needed a social media icon but did not feel like using a photo of me, I thought it would be fun to draw a self-portrait.
I began by drawing it in black and white, as I was not sure which colors I intended to use in my branding.

After trying some color variations (thank you Photoshop filters!), I opted for this blue and purple one.
