SELF-PROMOTION ALBUM COVER
This album cover containing a drawn ‘selfie’ portrait was created using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Tools were used to draw each shape and pick the color for those shapes from a reference image. Each shape was created and layered in a way to create depth and realism. When the drawing was finished, I was challenged to adjust the colors to create a more cohesive piece. A contrasting blue background is used to make the warm colors of the subject stand out more. When I created this piece, I used the pen tool to create basic shapes and then the anchor point tool was used to refine those shapes. This project allowed me to learn how to create smooth lines and shapes when drawing in Illustrator.
