dress

Really happy with the outcome although it was quite time consuming it was all worth it in the end because I ended up with a pretty good fashion illustration

This image needed a bit of altering I wanted to give the image more of a slim figure

illustration (hair)

After  creating  a new layer for facial details and hair I tried adding different brush stroke effects to give it a more hand drawn look  I created the hair by using different shapes and then going on window>brushes  to explore the different effects it creates

Crops

This is a section of my file i used the crop tool to crop different  parts off just to experiment.

Filters

the filters used:

On this image i used the platte knife filter for the background to make it look like grass

used neon glow

dry brush

plastic wrap

cutout

actual flower 

plastic wrap

water color

Scan

To scan my work in to the computer i used image capture. I set the resolution to 150dpi the reason being is so that my file won't be too large. It will make it easier to work with in photoshop

vest

i used the ellipse tool to create a circle and clicked and dragged a second circle that was slightly smaller than the first one I found it quite tricky to get the circles  in the position I wanted  them at

I used the reflect tool to create the other half of the garment and joined the two halves together by  clicking on object> path>average

With the pen tool I used the seven anchor points to draw half of the vest , to modify the curves I clicked and dragged the curve handles and released the mouse when I was happy with the curve it was quite tricky but I managed it alright

illustration (shapes

I went to object> arrange> and sent the hands to the back to give the image more of a realistic look

I made these monsters by using illustrator and exploring with shapes

This is a tear drop shape it was achieved by using the scale tool which basically changes the size of the shape

tool i used to draw shapes
