Getting Familiar with Color


About two weeks ago we had a project on working with illustrator using color. We had to chose a picture and for some odd reason I chose a yellow truck. We had to work with gradiants and and color to make it look as realistic as possible.Starting this project, I figured that I would be done in no time. I had alomost the entire front part of the truck finished and it looked horrible. For some reason I had totally forgotten about using the pen tool. I was trying too hard to work with small areas that I did not take the time out to do the entire outline and then work on the details. I ended up getting so frustrated that I deleted the entire picture and restarted the day before the project was do. I ended up being done right on time.I worked for 9 straight hours on it in the mac lab,believe me it was a challenge.
