The Final for Assignment 2!!!

I Will Save You!
This is my final artwork for assignment 2. It is really pain to do it as i need to redo it twice because for the first artwork,i cannot color it! T_T However, I have done my best to make what i have imagine to become REALITY!!

I have summerize all the tool that i had used while doing this Illustrator -->
  • Pen tool- To draw the lines, create many irregular shape and adjust the shape which have many dots.
  • Paintbrush tool- To draw lines and irregular shape.
  • Twirl tool- To make the shape become a bit spiral or twist.
  • Livepaint Bucket- To fill color and gradient on the shape.
  • Gradient tool- Make the differences in color from the light to dark or whatever addition of color which suitable with the area.
  • Selection tool- Multipurpose used for this tool. To resize, transform, copy, move, grouping and many more.

From what i had learn, it is easy to use pen tool to draw because you can adjust the dots to make the shape more proper and you also can draw the curve easily.

Not only that,make sure you stick the line together and grouping it if you want to color it with live paintbucket. The experience of coloring this assignment 2 teach me on how to use it properly.

The Steps of Drawing (Illustrator) 2nd

1. Firstly, i put the ruler for measurement of the shape that i will draw.


2. I put my sketch on it and adjust my sketch to the size which i want.

3. I start to draw the out line of tree by using pen tool. This tracing process is the most important part because if i did not do it properly, i cannot color it with live paintbucket. In this case i have done this process twice!

4. Then, the process of outline is continue as i draw the fallen feathers and the leaves by using pen tool.

5. I start to color the tree with live paintbucket. I also do some detail on it by put lines and branches. At certain area, i color it with gradient.

6. After that, i color the leaves area with plain green.

7. In this process, i used twirl tool to give a great effect on the leaves. Not only that, I also color it with gradient.

8. Later, I color the fallen feathers, small leaves and the rock by using gradient too. I remove the feather's black outline. Let the colors control it! ^^

9. At this stage, i put a simple layout for the background. A blue sky with the green land!

10. And for the final touch up, i draw the cloud by using paint brush tool and also the small grass. i just copy the grass and arrange it like that. That is the simple way! ^^

Finally, you can see the result of my tree on the top. I titled it as, "I Will Save You".
