Here is a 3 part tutorial that will walk you through step-by-step instructions for creating a creature. Include a head and a body made from separate spheres, LOTS OF DETAIL, and texture and color (if possible... texture and color tend to crash the computer).

Design Dream Job

Sometimes as a graphic artist you may need to create images that are simply to pay your bills; still a really fun job! For this project imagine that you are a super hot shot graphic designer and you have just landed a contract to create a skateboard deck design for an awesome skate company, OR a concert gig poster for your favorite musical artist/band. Projects must be created in illustrator, though you can trace photos that YOU HAVE TAKEN - NOT FROM THE WEB. Do not copy an existing design for a deck or poster. You must combine multiple images to create your project: don't just trace one image. Remember compositional rules! Both projects may include use of the gradient tool. Here is a new tutorial on how to use the gradient tool:




Requirements for both:
Trace or draw with the pen tool at least 3 different images into your project that are fairly complicated.
Include a clear focal point - follow rules of composition.

Gig posters should be 11" x 17"
Gig posters should include informational text:

• Name of Band
• Date/Time of Event
• Venue
• Cost

Create original artwork with the pentool.
