application > construction (The last of these "getting-to-know-#adobeillustrator" pics) MUSICAL INSTRUMENT 3 - Task: Create your favourite musical instrument. The human voice: Did you know the vocal cords (folds) vibrate about 100 to 1000 times a second to produce sound as air flows through them. The muscles in the larynx determine pitch based on the length and degree of tension in the folds. Your unique voice is the product of the air flow (lungs), vibrator (voice box), and resonating chambers (throat, nose, mouth, and sinuses) all working in conjunction. Another interesting fact is our own voice always sounds different to us than it does to others because of these internal acoustics and bone conduction; others are only exposed to our voice combined with atmospheric interference, whereas we only ever here it that way when recorded which sounds jarring and distorted in comparison to our accustomed acoustics. This was inspired by an Adobe Live session featuring Orlando Arocena @mexifunk. Watching him work really opened my eyes to what could be possible with Illustrator. I decided to go in a completely different direction with the idea of an "instrument" and took it as an opportunity to finally attempt an anatomy illustration similar to those I'd be in awe of as a kid with all their components and details giving form to the inner workings of the body we're never likely to see with our own eyes. Full project breakdowns and links to the live demo vids via the link in my bio. #anatomyilllustration #voicebox #humanvoice #humananatomy #vocalinstrument #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGo2JzDYXV/?igshid=tmagi2tug6t3

challenge demo & construct: MUSICAL INSTRUMENT 2: Breakdown of the guitar component. On a personal note, I got myself another one of these a week ago, and this time I'm finally getting lessons - let's see if "third time's the charm" really is true. 😛 #guitarbuild #splitlayout #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDxzoPjzU-/?igshid=ps8bxgrsx1an

exploration MUSICAL INSTRUMENT 1: An attmept at layout design and blending between greyscale and colour. A note on using the Effects menu in Illustrator, hopefully this has changed since, but when I did this, effects had to be locked in before shapes could be edited further by rasterising the effect layers, this had the unfortunate result of making certain aspects of those layers no longer editable. There's a reason the guitar neck and head remained grey in the colour version. #guitaricon #splitlayout #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDxWVAja5d/?igshid=s7ghp1zwgjhm

exploration MUSICAL INSTRUMENT - Task: Create your favourite musical instrument. A few close-ups of what ended up taking the longest, but also became my favourite of the challenges, with the bonus of being something I've always wanted to draw since I was a kid. #close-ups #crosssection #musicalinstrument #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGC8aDGDvET/?igshid=1mv40pt26fdio

application > shapes unbound > greyscale shapes FRUIT 2: Experimenting with shapes and masks to create textures and patterns. The idea was to go for a stained glass look, something I learned afterward is consistency of the line is important to pulling that off. Any tips for next time? #fruitjumble #shapeplay #fruit #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-nK-Bj85l/?igshid=l5ja5nxqsbhl

challenge demo copy and exploration CITYSCAPES - Task: Show your favourite city by designing a simple skyline. Never got around to finishing this one but I will...someday 😅, doing these building flat-lays were a lot fun. A city built up from them should be worth the time to play with the idea. #builderblocks #vectorbuildings #flatlaystyle #cityscapes #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8CVj6jYCn/?igshid=44twag30zr5g

The only thing missing from my usual kit is a raincoat, and a smartphone has replaced the traditional compass and map. #campingset #regulargear #themepack #camping #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5nSGCjslC/?igshid=k1d8u17xiwq0

Played around with different techniques for creating shapes; the blob tool is defintely useful for creating rough forms without creating multiple stroke paths. #hapkidoicon #sporticon #sports #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0m7XvD1Cy/?igshid=1tuq71ylrx7ob

After a really weird attempt that looked like a tennis ball with teeth, used a reference pic to help create this badge. #lionvector #animalicon #animalcompanions #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvRHpcDxGm/?igshid=dunacv6vtcd1

exploration SELFIE AVATAR - Task: create a selfie using simple shapes. This was actually the last challenge in the series, and the one I was least engaged in, but thought I'd try making a character builder kit to keep it interesting. Plenty of ways it can be improved or redone, but that's the first drafts are for, perhaps another day . #illustratorselfie #avatarkit #firstdraft #adobechallenge #dailycreativechallenge #1stchallenge #adobelive #illustratorchallenge #illustrator #behancefeature #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFsiI_-DM4j/?igshid=1wdlwxipa620y
