I used the development version of Inkscape which, combined with my tablet, made drawing the hair a breeze.
After I completed the head I started on the body and I got very lazy because I wasn't really sure how to colour him properly. Perhaps someday the shame will become too much and I'll do it properly.
Oh this is really cool! I'm just learning how to do something like this in class too. XD

I hope you're using the new version of Illustrator--it has on-canvas editing of gradient. I actually took up using Inkscape because Illustrators handling of gradients was so frustrating
CS3 is the only version my University is willing to cough up the money for, and I agree. But I figured out how to mess with the gradation tool pretty quickly. That is, after fighting with it in Inkscape first, (didn't realize there was a tool for it. XD; But right now, we're doing vector self portraits and dot vectors(?) [not quite sure what the other one is, just that it has to do with dots.] So I might mess with that tool, once I get a descent pic of myself. And thanks for the heads up on the versions though!

Yeah, I liked him as a float head also. Although, I didn't like as a floating head he looked more like a logo or clipart rather than a complete picture to be posted on DA.
This is actually my first work in a long time that is completely mine, so I might post his head on openclipart.org.
