I love this ... and would love to make my own version. How exactly did you go about building your personal avatar?

Thanks! Started as a sketch in 2010, then Adobe Illustrator, then learned how to code SVG, mostly via https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths

I see ... and when you were coding by hand, did you recommend/use any applications or code editors to preview what you were currently doing (preferably something that is free)?

I use vim. SVG renders in the browser natively which is how I did it back then. Today, I’d use React

Got it ... and was it based off of a image? Did you have a scaffold for a face and hair etc?
