GT Mustang [Using The Pen Tool]



Okay, so task number 2 using the pen tool in Illustrator. First off, I'd like to warn anyone who may ever want to draw a vehicle...it's definitely NOT easy...at all.
However, I'm very pleased with my results.
I started with simple outlining. Only getting as little detail as I could without taking away from the car's own style. Meaning that if you can't tell that it's a Ford Mustang...we've got problems.
I'd have to say that coloring the darn thing was the most challenging part.
Shading and detailing it was difficult, I think because it's a muscle car and has a bunch of curves and sharp edges.
I wanted to give it a back ground but after 10 long hours I'm am satisfied with my floating car.

Ai Tiger


So, in this exercise we had to outline an animal using the pen tool in illustrator. I choose a tiger because it's my favorite animal. I really enjoyed doing this exercise, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Roar!
