Sketchbook and Illustrator

This week we were given the option of choosing a bird, tree, house or flower and drawing it twenty different times in our sketchbook. I decided that I would be drawing a flower. It took a while but once I was done, I had a variety of flowers scattered across my page. From Roses to Begonias I had drawn and now I had to be up to the challenge of recreating one of them in Adobe Illustrator. So far, we have only learned how to use the rectangle tool, shaper tool, selection tool, and the color tool so my options were slim. I ended up creating a beautiful blue Daisy. That wasn't enough, the Daisy looked lonely and out of place on the plain white canvas. So I gave it some grass to grow from, a sun to look at, and a cloud for a little shade. In the end, I really liked what I had made but I wish I could make it more diverse. Maybe once we have learned how to use more tools in Adobe Illustrator I will return to this project and add more.
