Adobe Illustrator: Sketching with the Pencil Tool & Blending

Good Morning,

I created a pet rescue image by using the pencil tool and "free" hand drew out the dog.  I used a drop shadow and put some background color to bring out the dog's face.


The next image is of some caladiums that were also drawn out free hand using the pencil tool.  Had a little bit of issues with the stems, but I think they look pretty cool.  Lake Placid, FL is very famous for their caladiums.  They are beautiful plant that only come out once a year and they grow from bulbs.  So the next time you purchase caladiums, they may just come Lake Placid.



Adobe Illustrator: Chapter 19-Create Type

Good Morning Everyone,

I created an image using different "type" tools to give the image below.  I used the direction tool to give a square text box a little bit of style.  I used the ellipse tool to make a circle and used the "area" type tool to type inside the circle.


Here are three "Recycling Logos" that I created by following the directions in the book.

Adobe Illustrator: Drawing Straight Lines with the PEN Tool.

Hello everyone,

Here is some projects that I created yesterday and today, of course with more to come.


This paper airplane was created by drawing straight lines and connecting them and making triangles.  So this photo and the one below has been created using nothing but triangle.  Used some gradient to give it some "style".  


The image below is of the paper crane.  I changed the size of the image above and copied onto the T-shirt and changed the transparency to look like it is actually on the shirt.
