Portraying accurate color reproduction when basing an illustration on a photograph is an important skill. Search for a high resolution picture online that is a mechanical device ie, a car, kitchen tool, children's toy, aircraft etc. Try to find an object that has a variety of colors rather then just one solid color and stay away from objects with fuzzy edges or fur. Then, using Illustrator do an outline of the picture with modest details. Be sure to use the techniques described in class when drawing the various sections of your photograph. Be sure to label your layers properly and use proper groups. Then when all the major components of the object are properly traced, start filling in each of the components with the correct color. You may attempt to use gradients if you feel ambitious. You may also break down shadow areas into different shapes to provide different colors. This work will be displayed on screen in class, no printing or mounting necessary.
OOOOkkkkk... Although this just our second project I feel as though there is pattern slowly, but surely forming...
Stages
- Day one: hate it because it's so confusing
- Day two: start to like it because I realize one thing an instant revelation and begin to like it
- Day three: Liking it even more, learning more
- Day 4: Hate it a little because something went wrong
- Day 5: Start to love again because it's coming to a close and I figured out what I did wrong
- Day 6: LOVE IT because it's over and it looks insanely awesome! Funny how when you're done you almost want to say... now that was easy!
