Pencil & Elephant

For these assignments, we completed them in class as we began to learn the basics of Illustrator. We created the pencils using the shape tool and getting rid of various lines to form new shapes. Then we added color, making sure to pay attention to highlighting and shadowing to make the pencil look more realistic. Finally, we put our own spin on it, so I created a border with two pencils drawing. For the elephant project, we were each given the elephant outline and ask to fill it in. We used keyboard shortcuts, color swatches, and gradients to fill in the variety of parts. After I finished I used the spray paint tool to create the various flowers in the front. I added various effects to them to make them look different. I changed the sizes, shades, and arrangements of the flowers.
