Dragon Illustration


Dragon Illustration

Overview

This was a project I did in Adobe Illustrator class. The task was to create an animal using shapes, color, and gradients in Adobe Illustrator. I thought this was a really fun project and decided to go all out in this interpretation of a dragon.

Explanation

It took a lot of variations of similar blues to pull off this project. I also used gradients heavily to add dimension and depth. Altogether I think I managed to pull it off.

Final Thoughts

From these photos you can see just how many individual shapes and strokes were used to create this project. I spent a while confused on how I wanted to design the eye and this is what I finally came up with. I think it looks really good.
