Day 159: Broken Doves, Lines, Illustrator
I created a dove today in illustrator and used its lines and pieces to create these weird little beauties:

Here's one past project (Day 83) that I imported and fancied up.
I'm just mesmorized by this Blend feature in Illustrator! Pretty colors, pretty colors. Here are some shape designs that may inspire something else in the 33rd, or may inspire something for YOU!
In honor of the Kentucky Derby, spring, and the tulips that will no longer be in my yard when I arrive back to Colorado, here are experimentations with the Live Trace feature in Illustrator. Roses and Tulips... beautiful things.
It's Day 40, woot! woot! This was a really fast sketch and import into Illustrator.
From sketches from early last week, here's the "Buff Skater" in full color (using Illustrator):
I was out of town and in the mountains for the weekend, without internet access... so wasn't able to post here. However, I did a lot of creating. I'm excited about learning Illustrator for illustration a bit more. I came up with these creations and started messing around with them. So here's several of these patterns, with thoughts of textiles and fabric... inspired by some of the amazing stuff I'm finding on pinterest (like chrisem's Prints and Patterns... yea!)
Used Illustrator (CS5 baby) to add color. I still struggle with Illustrator and "illustration" and how to use it with layers and pieces and separating parts. I seem to use it fine for logo design and other vector art needs, but not illustration. hmmmm.... In the long run I like that Illustrator produces vectors and scalable items, but part of me thinks I might just illustrate via pen and Photoshop and then if I need a vector, convert it. OK—enough with the design speak! (Anyone have thoughts on this process... comment, please.)
Here's my earthtone Deer Tile—looking oh so sweet. (And the .gif web colors palette that I liked, too, cause I'm a geek like that!)
