Arden LaBarre - Vector Art

This was our first Adobe Illustrator project. Its was super simple other than a few issues I faced from layers. What I mean by "issues with layers" Is my layers would merge into one layer over night. This resulted in remaking the image.

This is our recolor sample graphic, is was made by experimenting with recoloring our artwork. A very easy process, that contains sizing down and duplicating the circles you see above.

These two are our third and fourth Adobe Illustrator projects. I made a sad face emoji and a body to go with it. The little guy moving is our first experience with animation. I plan to make a better version soon with a tear rolling down his face.

Now onto our next project, our ELAR monsters!

Step 1; The original drawing

This is our original monster that we drew in ELAR class. Everyone made something a little bit different, so go around and check out all the monsters! we grabbed the monsters that had been scanned into a shared web area for all DATA students.

Step 2; Preparing

This creepy version is our edited monster. We did this to more easily be able to track and blob in our monster in the next step. So even though he looks like a nightmare creature, its just part of the process.

Step 3; The final (almost) monster!

This cute orange and brown blob is the final (almost) result of my hard work these past few days. The process wasn't that hard with out awesome teacher, Mr. Hicks.

Step 4 : Animate the edited monster

This is one of my final versions

and the one by it is my second version, however the one above this text is the first and was animating by using the 'Puppet Pin Tool'. You simply put a pin border, then a pin on what you want to move. Finally you click and drag the pin and it moves!

Step 4 : Animate the edited monster

This is one of my final versions

This little guy is my second animation of the antennas jumping off the head, and then returning to the head so it loops! I made this by keyframing the position and rotation. This style took me a bit longer, however I felt like I had more control over the smaller details. I also used some simple scale keyframes to enlarge the right antenna before it returned to its position.
