Description
Pure Vector. Illustrator CS2My vector sensei gave me a challenge. I had to come up with a vector illsutration that only used 4 colors. It really isn't as easy as it looks
I tried to come up with a 'pop-culture' iconic style of image. I decided I haven't really done much heavy emotional peices...so i came up with 'sensuality.' As for the colors, I picked 4 harmonious colors and white. I really wanted it to look vintage, I hope it does
YES...its suggestive, but oh well. I still like it
It took about 3 hours give or take a few minutes.

it's actually pretty simple. Draw the face in pencil..scan it in...open in Illustrator. Create a custom brush that tapers from one end to the other. Use the art-brush tool to ink your work. The rest is simple color fill

what is illustrator is it a certain program you use >?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
IT's a program that uses "vector" based graphics. Vector is mathematical representation of graphics.It's near perfect and can be blown up to the size of a mountain or shrunk to the size of a needle and it would never loose it's resolution nor pixelate. Photoshop and the other programs use "raster" based graphics. These are pixel-based. Therefore, resolution and DPI are very important in the quality of the graphic.

May I ask which brush you used for the stroke? Or did you make the outlines by tracing the lines that way by hand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I created the brush stroke in illustrator. Then turned it into an art brush. I scanned in a sketch i did in pencil. Then i traced it in illustrator with the new brush

it does come off vintage. genuine vintage. and i love how you only used four colors, but it doesn't look like it. and the picture looks sensual, but somehow innocent. does that make sense? fave-ing.

hmmmm I guess I could, but I'll be out of town starting DEC 21 and I won't be back until JAN 5th. I have too many client projects to get done before then so I wouldn't be able to make your deadline

I like the colors you chose. This would make a really cool CD cover.

Good job! And no, I don't think it looks easy at all. This kind of art frightens me.
(p.s.like the way she's licking that lolipop...was originally from a model?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! It really isn't as difficult as you think once you understrand the tools
Nope. No model except in my mind. Though I had to sketch it out a few times to get it just right

Yeah, I almost had it down at one time, but I didn't keep at it, and I just lost the flow, I guess. And with InDesign, I seem to use that for just about everything, now.
Wow...nice work. I have been doing just that (using my imagination) for my next series. Hadn't done that in such a long, long time. So we'll see how it turns out.

I need to reinstall InDesign, but since none of my clients have asked me to put together a magazine layout...I really haven't had a need to use it.
"Hadn't done that in such a long, long time. So we'll see how it turns out." I have complete faith that it will.

Thanks for having faith in me!
Creating fantasy art is escape-ism at its best in my opinion. And I need it very much these days.

Faith is as faith does 
I love creating fantasy...but I really want to do realism...but from my mind...like Frank Frazetta

Oh yeah...he is truly the very FIRST artist/painter that I saw at a very young age and wanted to be and tried to emulate.
I've been noticing that you and I have some of the same love and taste in artists...it's scary! We would have been close buds if we grew up in the same neighborhood!

I too saw Frank at an early age (probably when i wasn't supposed to shhhhhhhh

I could imagine. It looks like it'd be an interesting puzzle to put together. i might try it sometime. or something similar.

Vector art is always so cool. I've always been fond of the use of complementary and flat colors, and anyone who can pull it off well is pretty cool in my book ;3 It's like something you'd see in magazines, too. This is a really neat image, so I'm definitely faving it. x3
