Mexico skull

This is my custom pattern, I grabbed the Mexican theme and a cartoonish skull, combined the both and I got this and then I made it into a pattern that I can use.
This was done using the brush tool and Pen tool very simple and good.
I also made a small mistake that I changed using the direct selection tool, I accidentally put orange instead of red for the flag.

Pattern



 This patter was made by me as a task to make a custom pattern and I made I guess you could say a christmas style pattern and I think it turned out pretty well.



First I made A regular shape for example a star and made 3 more copies to make a small group of them.

After that I went to Object, pattern and make and from there I made small changes to it like the color and formation. Also after you enter it you will have the original save automatically and they will be in the pattern group.

A can of baked beans

This my attempt at making a can of beans that I think turned out pretty well, I used the ellipse tool and made a circle with it based on the measurements of the label above. Then I added the same measurements to the extrude depth. I then went and applied the label from the symbols tab in the Map Art option.
I then made the lid of the can by using a circle of the same size as the label and just made each circle smaller so that it looks like a actual lid. After that I applied it in the Map Art menu and then its done.
I had to divide the width of the label by 3.14 to get the correct measurements for the circle.

Leaf

This is my attempt at making a leaf, I say I could improve so next time I will try harder.




We made this by tracing the leaf with the pen tool and then using the mesh tool to apply the color pattern. 

Two storyboards

 
 These two boards were made with the backgrounds I made last time and I also made two pix-elated characters from scratch to go with them as characters chatting to one another.

I made these by just screen shooting the same location whilst zooming in on it.

First one:
 Second one:
I like how the two came out and the characters also very good in my opinion.

Perspective tool usage

This was my attempt at making a building using the Perspective Grid Tool and its Perspective selection tool and I am very happy with how it turned out, my initial idea was to make a random city block but most of my colleagues say its more of a college. I am happy either way.

Face drawing

We were tasked with making a drawing of a face and this is what I made.
First you need Adobe illustrator and then use the i Mac or another device that can take a photo of a face then import it and then draw using the paintbrush tool the face. After that's done you take a screenshot and vuala you have this image above.

Overall I like how it turned out BUT if I had more time I would gladly fix the nose, and drawing the nose would probably take up half the time I spent on painting this.
 This image is of an earlier design, the tutor didn't like it because it looked too cartoon like.

This one is my attempt at fixing the nose and it looks a bit better.

Random guy

This tasked required us to make a room and make a person to demonstrate that someone can actually stand in it.


As you can see my room is good and two people can stand and talk in it.

Duck

Our first task was to draw the outline of the duck above. I added a few bits of my own and I think this was rather good. The tool that I used for this task was the curvature tool and a bit of the pen tool.

This is the end result and I am personally happy with it.
 The next task was to color it and this is how I did it and I am happy with it.
