Illustrator Characters

We drew simplistic characters by hand on paper, scanned them in, then opened them with Adobe Illustrator and vectored them. We then took some photos around the school and used Photoshop to put our characters into the photo, adding shadow for realism.





 

Evaluation
A piece I experimented with different processes includes my Illustrator character, which I originally sketched its design on paper with pencil, but then scanned it in and used Adobe Illustrator’s vector tool to create it and then Photoshop to put the character into various photos.  It was pretty fun to do and taught me quite a bit more about the two programs.  Unfortunately the process of Illustrator did have its limitations – vectoring in Illustrator takes a long time, and it does not allow for much detail.
