Covered Wagon in Progress: Color

Now, I am adding color to my vector image. I think that it is starting to come together. The horse wont be that color and there is still more details to be added to the horse. On the right side you can see how many layers I have created so far. 

Horse and Covered Wagon in Progress

After I finished drawing my horse and covered wagon, I put my image into Illustrator. As you see in this picture I am beginning to trace the image using the pen tool to create my vector image.

Inspiration: Wheel

This week I got my inspiration for my project from the word "wheel". This was an Illustration Friday word a week ago. I drew this image because when I thought of the word, I thought of my Grandpa who used to drive a horse and covered wagon at a boys camp many years ago. My plan for this image is to create a farm sign or logo.

Ocean Farm Sign

I have finished my farm sign for my inspiration word "Ocean". After creating the horseshoe on Illustrator, I used a stock picture and did some color corrections on Photoshop. Then I placed my horseshoe in a Photoshop document and positions the picture into to centre. Then using the pen tool I created a mask on the picture to fit it into the horseshoe. After, I used the blur tool at the top of the picture to make it blend better. Then I saved it and reopened it in Illustrator to place the text and add some effects. Then, once again, opened it in Photoshop and place a wood background and set the opacity of the wood image to 9% and I put the "farm sign" image opacity to %97 just so we could see the texture of the wood through the sign.
