ingWithillustrator

A series based on a photograph of a landscape using Adobe Illustrator.

The original photograph was used as the rst layer, then using the pen tool

outlines of the major shapes starting from the background to the foreground were

created. All the shapes were organized in different layers according to each object.

Using the eyedropper tool the color from the original photograph were given to the

shapes representing those of the photograph. The gradient tool was used to add

dimensions and the transparencies were altered to add more depth. In order to create

different variations in the composition the colors were changed, adding different

emphasis on certain areas. Various brush styles were used to create a more stylized

images.

A set of exercises done in class before starting drawing projects. The drawings were

done to experiment with the drawing pad so as to become more comfortable with the

new tool. The brush tool in Adobe Illustrator was used to make lines in different

directions; different sizes and styles of brushes were also experimented with.

esandteapots

A series of teapots drawn though a drawing pad in Adobe Illustrator using the brush

tool. Teapots where drawn by long lines to create shapes as opposed to

using lines to outline the gures. To create the dimensions the darkest and lightest

areas were put in on different layers, the overlapping of the darks and lights

created middle tones. Most of the teapots were created in black and white

resulting in different middle gray tones. The colored teapots were made with one very

dark hue of a color and a very light hue with several varieties of the hues in between

to portray the middle tones. Different brush styles and sizes helped create more variety

in line.

tus

A series of hats and tutus created through a drawing pad in Adobe Illustrator using the

brush tool. The hats where made against a neutral gray background drawn only using

black and white. The layers tool was used separate the black shadows and white light

sources. As more layers were added the middle tones of gray formed from the overlap -

ping of black and white. The tutus were drawn in the same manner with the exception

of the tutus drawn with colors, in which dark hues were used from the darks and light

hues for the lights and middle tones were created by hues in between.
