Creative image of friend

We need to create a creative image of my friend.
My brain : "creative image of my friend?"
i had no idea on doing this....
the 1st thing come on my mind is i wan change my friend to a comic look!

This is my friend's original photo - Son Yang Fook

The sketch of my idea to COMIC look of him...

After I had sketch it out, I scan in to my computer and slowly trace with pen tool in adobe illustrator using basic shape and colour. To make the character feel more CUTER, I had add in pink oval shape in his cheek. Besides that, by add in LONG hair for him can make the character feel more interesting too!

I hope my friend like the creative image I did. =)
