My idea for this project is to create a series of vector-style designs for my project. The plan is to use my own tattoos (which were drawn by me) and then use Illustrator/Photoshop to make them into cartoon-y vector designs. I ultimately want to make these designs be advertisements for my own pretend design company. This would still be 3-4 seperate designs, all 8x10.
I hate to say it, but I'm moving pretty slowly with this project. I have been working through a lot of Illustrator tutorials and learning a lot of new things. I have had a breakthrough with the pen tool in Illustrator though, and it is becoming a lot easier for me to use.
My first design is almost completed. I still have to work on the scorpion part of it and make it look more vector-y. I found a great tutorial for the flowers here and it was actually pretty easy. The zebra print is from a picture I took of one of my sweaters. I did a gradient overlay in Illustrator, which is a little different than making one in Photoshop.
This is the next design that I have started working on:
I am working on the background for this design, also made in Illustrator, and I am trying to create this sunburst effect (tutorial here) but it isn't turning out the way I want. I also made these little bones using the rectangle and ellipse shape tools in Illustrator to recreate the bones in the tattoo, and I am working on making them more three-dimensional.
