challenge demo & construct: MUSICAL INSTRUMENT 2: Breakdown of the guitar component. On a personal note, I got myself another one of these a week ago, and this time I'm finally getting lessons - let's see if "third time's the charm" really is true. 😛 #guitarbuild #splitlayout #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDxzoPjzU-/?igshid=ps8bxgrsx1an

exploration MUSICAL INSTRUMENT 1: An attmept at layout design and blending between greyscale and colour. A note on using the Effects menu in Illustrator, hopefully this has changed since, but when I did this, effects had to be locked in before shapes could be edited further by rasterising the effect layers, this had the unfortunate result of making certain aspects of those layers no longer editable. There's a reason the guitar neck and head remained grey in the colour version. #guitaricon #splitlayout #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDxWVAja5d/?igshid=s7ghp1zwgjhm

exploration MUSICAL INSTRUMENT - Task: Create your favourite musical instrument. A few close-ups of what ended up taking the longest, but also became my favourite of the challenges, with the bonus of being something I've always wanted to draw since I was a kid. #close-ups #crosssection #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGC8aDGDvET/?igshid=1mv40pt26fdio

application > shapes unbound > greyscale shapes FRUIT 2: Experimenting with shapes and masks to create textures and patterns. The idea was to go for a stained glass look, something I learned afterward is consistency of the line is important to pulling that off. Any tips for next time? #fruitjumble #shapeplay #fruit #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-nK-Bj85l/?igshid=l5ja5nxqsbhl

Played around with different techniques for creating shapes; the blob tool is defintely useful for creating rough forms without creating multiple stroke paths. #hapkidoicon #sporticon #sports #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0m7XvD1Cy/?igshid=1tuq71ylrx7ob

exploration > challenge demo copy ANIMALCOMPANIONS 1- Task: Build your own animal companion icon using simple shapes. After a really weird attempt that looked like a tennis ball with teeth, used a reference pic to help create this badge. #lionvector #animalicon #animalcompanions #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvRHpcDxGm/?igshid=dunacv6vtcd1
