We shall now observe and start on the whole process for the illustration, yes?
1. I did the outline for the tree, the base of it. Of course, i had traced it via one of the sketch in my previous entry but i didn't think it was much of an importance to add it in. The outline was done via the
pen tool.
2. I added more tree carvings using the
pen tool and proceeded to add the colours to it via the
live paint bucket tool.
3. Fun part, the leaves. I took my time to do some research and finally settled with the selected picture which i soon started to trace using the
pen tool. This is to help me get a good even shape of the leaf and to stop my brain from telling me to do the typical tear drop shaped leaf.
4. After tracing,
i copied the outline of the leaf and added in 3 different colours to it. I
duplicated the leaf and started to
arrange it one by one on the tree since using the symbol sprayer tool made it look too busy and not exactly how i wanted it to look.
5. But this, however, was used via the
symbol sprayer tool (the leaves at the back, lighter colour) since the arrangement was so that it would make the tree look much more healthier.
6. After that, i decided to make a simple background for my really lonely healthy tree. Experimented around with the colours, made the front part lighter, going darker towards the back. Oh, i used the
pen tool here and then the
live paint bucket tool.
7.Used the
crystallize tool to make the whole place look like as if it's grass since it looks too illogically smooth. I suppose it did the job in a way.
8. Added the background, blue sky coloured via the
live paint bucket tool. Then added the clouds using the
paintbrush tool, testing around with the form and the length of the line. After much arranging, i played around with the
opacity level and made the clouds look from white to less visible from bottom to top.
9. Added the logo 8D
10. Checked for any mistakes, touched up on some smaller parts of the whole piece and finally, finished~
