Dragonfly Vector Completed!
March 11, 2008 | 4 Comments
Apologies for the inactivity yesterday, I was busy outside of the computer (shocking, isn’t it). I hadn’t had time to work on the vector, so there really was nothing to update everyone on. To make it up to everyone, I finished the vector today. I’m not very satisfied by the background, but it’s still complete.
A larger version can be found on my DA.
The whole experience in Illustrator was fun, and all the lines I drew were smooth, courtesy of the Pen tool. My favourite tool is still the Mesh, even though I can’t use it like the professionals do. I’ll learn eventually!
I don’t have much other comment on this. I’ve got another skill under my belt, I’ll be looking for another thing to vector. Some day soon, I hope, I can import or draw this live onto Flash and animate it. However, I’ll be posting on this blog with more vector attempts, and some graphic/photomanipulation works. For your interest, I’ll throw in a few things I learnt during the process, or show WIPs on larger projects.

poo, why can’t you upload this to your mainnnn?
Very nice result.
That coffee cup (by the professional) was actually created in Illustrator? Wow.
Oopy: If I use my main to put up samples, I don’t think anyone really wants to see a dragonfly, it doesn’t show what they want…
Frederick: Yeah, the coffee cup was done using the Mesh tool. Almost all of the artist’s gallery is vector mesh done on Illustrator.
But it’s cool! I’m sure they’d wanna see cool stuff. …but then they might ask for vectors. xDD
