My vector sensei gave me a challenge. I had to come up with a vector illsutration that only used 4 colors. It really isn't as easy as it looks
I tried to come up with a 'pop-culture' iconic style of image. I decided I haven't really done much heavy emotional peices...so i came up with 'sensuality.' As for the colors, I picked 4 harmonious colors and white. I really wanted it to look vintage, I hope it does
YES...its suggestive, but oh well. I still like it
it's actually pretty simple. Draw the face in pencil..scan it in...open in Illustrator. Create a custom brush that tapers from one end to the other. Use the art-brush tool to ink your work. The rest is simple color fill
IT's a program that uses "vector" based graphics. Vector is mathematical representation of graphics.It's near perfect and can be blown up to the size of a mountain or shrunk to the size of a needle and it would never loose it's resolution nor pixelate. Photoshop and the other programs use "raster" based graphics. These are pixel-based. Therefore, resolution and DPI are very important in the quality of the graphic.
I created the brush stroke in illustrator. Then turned it into an art brush. I scanned in a sketch i did in pencil. Then i traced it in illustrator with the new brush
