GRA2131C Assignment - Illustrator Multi-Line Portrait

Illustrator Multi-Line Brush Portrait Project

The purpose of this assignment is to explore the pen tablet. When set up properly, the pen tablet will allow lines to be drawn that can have varying thicknesses, dependent upon the amount of pressure exerted on the pen.

1.) create a portrait using ONLY lines with a Wacom Pen Tablet - use NO fills

2.) use a MAXIMUM of SIX (6) colors, including your background color

3.) use highly saturated COMPLEMENTARY colors that “pop” from the background

4.) you may “trace” over a photograph on an underlying layer if you do not wish to draw freehand
