Digital Illustration

The brief we were given contained the following requirements: 

Choose one of the three accompanying texts and create a digital drawing to illustrate it:

-       TIME magazine – grasshopper

-       HARPERS magazine – bulldozer

-       SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN – tomorrow’s car 

Guidance:

In order to fulfil the assignment you may wish to place a photographic image on a layer and to trace it using the tools available. Should you choose to do so, you are required to leave the placed image in the final Illustrator file, but to hide the layer in question in the Layers palette. You may not trace an existing illustration unless the work is your own.

The graphic may be black & white or colour.

Backgrounds may be incorporated.

 These are the two pieces I done for the first project. I brought a picture into Adobe Illustrator and traced it using the pen tool. As I went along added a layer for every shape so parts would overlap and eventually it would come together when colour was added.
