Progress shot,

Shall we start with some progress shots of my symbol-of-some-sort, yes?



First step/layer;
I did the background for the whole symbol via using the pen tool.
After that, i added the colours via the paint bucket tool and made the lines transparent/no fill. That way, the lines wouldn't make it look too much of a burden for the whole thing.
I added the sun up there to give a little more impact.


Second step/layer;
I added the trees. Pen tool, paint bucket, TREES!
In this case, i only made two types of trees and proceeded to duplicate(copy+paste for those who don't know) and adjusted their sizes so that it won't look too repetitive.


Third step/layer;
Added the two deforested logs to give even more impact of trees being cut down.
This was done once again via the pen tool and paint bucket with some usage of the eraser tool(in which is sort of troublesome at times but i'm patient enough and still learning).


Fourth step/layer;
Proceeded to add the sad little tree with band aid on it's head.
I did the tree in another new file using the pen tool, ellipse tool(for the eyes), paint bucket tool and the eraser tool.
After that, i copy+pasted the whole thing into the original file and resized it.

Final step/layer;
Finally, added another two trees because one tree looked lonely enough to not give much impact.
More desperate emotional trees being cut down and happy shadows.
The same method used for the trees as i used in step four.
After some adjustments, it's done. In a way. Yes.


After this assignment, remind me to do some gardening.
