A snippet of what is to be...

 

...none other than my wall mural. Here is a teaser of what is to come!

This mural has been an excellent test for me to use my graphics tablet i recently purchased. Although because illustration is not one of my strengths, i have traced over photographs in combination with the use of the stamp filter in photoshop to give me a rough idea of what the final product will look like. Using filters is not what i normally like to do, but was necessary in this instance. After i felt the work in photoshop was adequate, i pulled the designs into illustrator and by using the live trace tool i was able to convert them into vector illustrations, by doing this the work no longer looked 'rough' around the edges but crisp and a very good reflection of the illustration style i have chosen.
