Lessons Learned:
1) I should probably watch more of the tutorial videos, instead of just the first 30-45 seconds. I was not using the best drawing tool. I used the curved line tool and the polyline tool would have allowed me to edit the shapes and create a more cohesive look.
2) I did this by tracing. I inserted the photo of Maggie and then traced shapes on top of it. This was the method demonstrated by ptrsnja in Doodle Yourself in Google Drawing. Next time, I want to try the trace and drag method shown in Joshua Pomeroy's Vector Portrait in Google Drawing tutorial. This method would have provided me more feedback on the process to gauge my drawing against my original photo.
Overall, I am excited to uncover another application for Google Drawing. My obsession with this tool only continues to grow. I look forward to applying this method to other images and trying different approaches.
