First things first, this is for the Vector Coloring Book Project

I really wanted to participate in it since I've not made line art in quite some time, and it was a perfect excuse to actually try to make line art in Illustrator.

This is actually an older piece of mine, I'm sure some of you will remember it. I decided to bring it back and spruce it up a little bit, though I ended up leaving most of the elements the same.

Naturally this line art is free to color by anyone. Please remember to link back to me if you upload it (and I'd love a note or a comment with a link to your upload as well please so I can appreciate your finished piece)

What is Vector Art?

In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points.

When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect.

When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate.

The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!
