Illustration - 4th Part (Final Outcome)

Finally, this is the final outcome of my work for the 2nd assignment. This illustration sure took quite some time for me to complete.

Information:

Title:
The Green Forest

Description/meaning:
  1. The tree in the front of the illustration shows the survival of a plant.
  2. The forest in the back represents how the trees were once abundant in the world.
  3. Blue color background is to bring coolness into the background of the illustration. It is also to represent the coolness nature brings to the world.
List of tools used:
  1. Paintbrush tool: To draw the lines in the illustration.
  2. Selection tool: To select the drawings and to perform things such as scaling, moving and others.
  3. Warp tool: To reshape drawings into more desirable form/shape.
  4. Live paint bucket: To fill wanted colors into a selected area of the illustration.
  5. Gradient tool: To adjust the colors difference in the illustration.
That's all I can explain in this post. Please feel free to leave a comment in this blog. I would really appreciate it if anyone can point out where my mistakes are in this assignment.
Added in the upper left-hand corner is the minimized symbol I previously made in Assignment 1.
I hope that this illustration will encourage people to appreciate both the beauty and importance of the nature more while increasing their awareness about global warming.

Illustration - 3rd Part

Using the same paintbrush tool, I drew the land, bushes and forest in the background. This is how it looked like before colors are inserted into the illustration. (Please refer to the image above)

Illustration - 2nd Part


I started off with the basic drawing of the main tree first by using paintbrush tool in Illustrator CS2. (Please refer to the picture above)

Illustration - 1st Part

Just like the previous symbol assignment, I have made some sketches on this one. The amount of sketches this time are lesser since I wanted to keep it as simple and quick as possible. And as a matter of fact, I made a decision to use these sketches for this 2nd assignment.

Computer Graphics - Illustration

After finishing the first assignment, it is now the time to move on to the second assignment.
The assignment requires the illustration of my chosen area.
