Illustration: Missing You

Missing You

I have been figuring out how to make texture effect in Illustrator program for some time. Just found out that the key word I should look for was 'screen print'. I searched for tutorials on webs and tried experiments. This is my initial attempt. Still not what I wanted exactly but I really enjoyed doing it. I like the way the picture was developed from simple shape of the hat and then I added face, butterfly and hair. I didn't think much all through the process, actually I didn't think that I would do a girl face. Each step just came spontaneously and the theme 'Missing You' suddenly appeared when I almost finished it and then I added the little flower (do you see it?)

I have to learn more of texture making and I hope I will do better and better...

Thanks for coming and please leave comments. I really want to hear your voices. :-)

  2. Thanks Dawn!

    Making texture in AI is not so hard. Once you get the idea, it should not be so difficult to develop your own texture, I guess :-)
