Senior Project - Week 3

Week three of my senior project. Last week, I finished adding the details to the line art and cleaned it up to prepare it for the coloring stage. Through week three, I developed a method for coloring the line art and added color to the entire shape, tweaking colors and cleaning lines as needed.

This week went extremely well in terms of how much got done, due most in part to my work on learning the live paint bucket tool in Illustrator, cutting my work down to a fraction of the time it would've taken with the blob brush.

The finished product of week three.

Learning about the different methods of coloring line art has helped further develop my Illustrator skills. Feedback also continues to be important in pointing out things to be improved and ways to work more efficiently, like figuring out how to use the live paint bucket. To sum it up, it's important to work smarter not work harder, although both are important.
