This was my first project on Adobe Illustrator. In this project I had to draw a bunch of smaller illustrations using the different tools in Adobe Illustrator. It was a very good introduction and allowed me to learn how the tools can help in different presets.
In my second project, I had to draw three logos. So to start off I went with a simple logo where I took my initials and arranged them around until I got I decent result. Then for the second logo I had to go a little more challenging. So I did my full last name then decided to draw a mouse coming off the first initial. Then Lastly, I had to simply draw a small illustration which I did a baseball since it is simple and I used to play the sport.
In my third project, I had to make three different snowboard designs. For the first one, I made a green gradient for the board color than made a custom swatch brush for the lines. For the second one, I drew a half-circle than decided to keep making them smaller and smaller until I came up with this. I ended like the end result as it looked like a fingerprint, so I added an orange to black gradient.
For the last board, I drew a lightning bolt-like line than stretched it across the board. If it were completely my decision I would not have put the different shaded swatches I made then dropped the loading symbol. All in all, it was a good learning experience as I learned how to make completely custom swatches.
I would show you the letter but it is currently gorilla glued in the envelope and has no means of coming out. In This project we had to make a company logo. So as being a nerd with tech I came up with the idea of a company that buys and sell refurbished tech.
For this project we had to make a portrait of a music composer, but with permission I got the go ahead on a famous actor for a movie. So I chose Robert Downey Jr who happens to be in a tiger costume in this image which hilariously goes perfect with the new movie coming out he is in. Anyway I started to draw him and it became quite the challenge as this was the only image I could find of him in a tiger costume. And whenever I zoomed in, it would get very pixelated as the quality is not the best. Half of this image I drew was a guessing game. But I ended up really liking the end result as it really reminds me of anime style art and i'm a big fan of that art style. Sadly I could not give him color though as I had run out of time for this project and my Live Paint Bucket was not working I wanted it to. I hope to come back to this project though if I have spare time.
