Editing Shapes and Paths

Camping Poster

Just by looking at the finished product, this does not seem like a challenging illustration. However, each individual part took time and contains intricate details. In order to produce this illustration, I had to combine multiple shapes into one. This includes the door, window, and tires on the trailer, as well as the trailer as a whole. Also, the triangles in the tent, the car doors, and the plants scattered around the canvas. The most intriguing part of this poster was creating the flame illustration for the campfire. To make the flame, I started with a simple straight line. Then I manipulated the line by curving it and adjusting its width and stature.

Using the Pen Tool

Swan Vector Illustration

In Adobe Illustrator, various techniques are used to turn basic shapes into graphic designs or drawings. The above image is a vector illustration of a swan. The illustration was made using the pen tool and various curving techniques. I enjoyed making the swan illustration. At first, it was quite challenging because I struggled to draw the wing of the swan. After multiple attempts, I was able to draw the wing to my satisfaction.
