FFA233: VECTOR ILLUSTRATION

This new assignment from Digital Ink class was tracing any illustration that we found on the internet and Miss Sheila will choose which one suite for us. So, I got to trace this illustration.

Original


This illustration originally made by Brett King. He is an illustrator from New Zealand and I have been given a task to trace his artwork.These are my progresses. So, first thing that I did was trace all the line in the illustration but I made the sun first just to see what works well. Just a little bit of experimenting. Also, I made two pages so that I can easily move my version. 


I also made a polka dot pattern and apply it to the sun. Next, when I already trace all the lines on that illustration, I drag it to the next page. 



After that, I try to use the gradient at the part of the snow mountain because when I saw the original artwork, it has some of white lighting at the edge of the snow. 


But when I use the gradient tool, it didn't work for me and i don't get the same result that I want. So, I use some grunge texture from the internet and put it at the edge of the mountain. Although its not quite the same but the texture kind of similar. Also, I add some noise texture. Then, I fill up other tracing part with colors using color picker.


But there are some white lines that i didn't fill in and when I fill up with colors, the inside of the illustration disappear. 

So, I trace the inside once again with color fill only, not with lines and drag to the place.


Then, I add more pattern to the Illustration but its not that same with the original one. Some pattern i didn't know how to apply out of the area. Also, I only do a little fill in the white lines, not all of them.


Finally, I did the rocks, whale and the sea. For the sea, I cant find any brush that similar to the original brush strokes so I just used what I have in the illustrator. In a conclusion, Its not east to trace when you are new to Adobe Illustrator. I don't even copy the artwork 100% the same but, I learn a lot using this software. I like to do the pattern and textures.

This is my version of the illustration
