FFA233 (DIGITAL INK AND PAINT)- Getting The Hang Of Vectors

In our last assignment, we had to vectorize a monkey...and I know I was quite dramatic about how hard it was to trace the monkey.

Here be our 3rd assignment where we had to pick 5 vector pictures, and the lecturer will choose one between five of them all to be vectorized in illustrator.

For me, Miss Sheila entrusted the task to me, with this picture:

Original Artist/Image

So for my progress, I made it into a timelapse:

And as a result:

Left: Mine, Right: Original

So, I finally got the hang of tracing in Illustrator, thanks to that, my mother actually asked me to design some stickers for my brother's wedding in the future. Yep, learning Illustrator was worth it.

In my work though, it's not that perfect because there are still some white lines and spaces here and there if you look closely. It is kind of hard as there are tons of glowy things here and there in the picture and the picture itself is pixelated. So I had to squint my eyes real hard to see the difference. Although, I have gotten the hang of using Illustrator so it wasn't exactly as devastating as the monkey vector.😔 

The feeling of glory when you get the lines and colors in their right places is just, unexplainable ...especially for a beginner. It's just...

so happy
