Vector Drawing

What is vector artwork?

Vector artwork is a term that describes any art made with vector illustration software like Adobe Illustrator. Vector artwork is built from vector graphics, which are images created with mathematical formulas. In comparison, raster art (also referred to as bitmaps or raster images) is created with colorised pixels. Enlarge pixel-based art in a raster file too much and it looks jaggy, whereas you can enlarge vector art to any size without negatively affecting its appearance. This resolution independence allows vector art to be used in a variety of forms, from small illustrations to massive billboards.

ACTIVITY: Vector portrait

You will create a vector portrait using Google Drawings. I would prefer you to use a self portrait or at least a person that you are close to. Most students take a selfie with snapchat using filters. Add this to your Google drive

Watch the video to see the process I went through to create my portrait.
