Week 2



Assignment:  Digital Illustration of Abraham Lincoln

CRAFT:  Process- How did you do it?  I created this illustration by using the program adobe illustration.  this is a great program, because it allowed my to easily enhance my picture of Abraham Lincoln.  I used the pencil tool and the fill tool to create this picture.  
Technique- How did you improve it?  I improved it, because the first time around I was a little confused my the assignment and I was new to adobe illustrator.  This made it very difficult, because I was just making it up as I went.  Though, the other day in class, I finally figured it out and created a brand new illustration of Lincoln.  I hope everyone enjoys it!

COMPOSITION:  Why this photo?  I chose this photo, because it was a very detailed photo that showed his stature and age.  
Why these colors?  I chose the grey tone, because that was how the original was and I decided to make his clothing red, white, and blue.  This was a great touch to add color to the illustration!

CONCEPT:  Where of when should Lincoln go by next week?
