DMA101 _CHARACTER SKETCH

                                                             character sketch

this project the main goal is to get an sketch drawing and trace all the detail that the artist have drawn. we upload the image into adobe illustrator to trace all the lines and add color to the artist's art work. for this project i choice an image of a pirate the reason i choose this image was because it look unique and it will allow me to demonstrate my illustrator skills

This screen shot is basically the starting od the whole character trace. I traced the jacket all the lines and shapes that was on the jacket with the pen tool. It took hours to trace just the jacket. This is truly a time consuming project. 

At this stage I drew the pants of the pirate. The pants hand unique lines which looked 

At this stage I added color to the jacket. I choice the color green because it was a bright rich colour that represent money. Pirates always searched for money so he green was an appropriate color.

At this stage I added a different layout which would be the face of the pirate. The face was one the most difficult part of the whole drawing to trace. Because the face was extrely detail, it took me different tries to get the somewhat perfect.

  I also added the pirates hat no a different layer.

I made the whole layers visible so the viewer can see the full tracing I did. This is the complete drawing and all the layers.

•  shoes layer
• ,the shord layer
• the blet layer
• ,the jacket
•  the pants layer
•  the chain layer & chain on the pants layer
• the hat layer

This particular project we have to add a light source to the drawing to make the drawing look more realistic and 3 dimensional. At this stage I added arrows to show there the light source would be coming from.

This is the final stage of the project I added the shadow and the highlight of the light source. I added the main shadow at the back because one of the light sources is coming from the front. The high light is at the side because the light source.
