I had never used Illustrator before, but since learning some of the basics, I could see how it is an effective tool for creating dynamic images. I used my chosen detective, Rick Deckard, to try out some techniques.
I am quite pleased with the outcome seeing as I have very little experience with Illustrator. I built up the face and clothing using various shapes, implying shadows and definition. I chose these colours because I felt they reflected the mood of this particular character, who is at times a fairly morbid and solitary person.
This illustration was done by Matt Taylor, and I drew influence from how shapes can be used to create objects and shadows rather than starting with outlines. The colour pallete seems to suit this image, and I believe they were chosen carefully and with purpose, which is what I tried to recreate with my image.
