This is the illustration that I did for that portion of the final… I wanted to create a wallpaper and I figured it’d be easier to create my own illustration rather than recreate a photograph. This illustration started with my experimenting with the rotate tool and feathering, which resulted in the sun (which I felt I needed to use). There are 2 different textures overlayed on top of the illustration itself. Without the textures, the whole image seemed very smooth, which didn’t look that bad, but I liked the added depth the textures gave it.
The birds, which bothered me the most, were created with a scatter brush I made (needed to use differing techniques on all my projects for this class).
