Description
I set out this fruit plate a couple of days ago and was struck by the composition of the plate. I don't do many still-lifes, but I was compelled to do this one. This was, among other things, an exercise in seeing how many different ways I could get Illustrator to crash. I approached this like a digital painting, a la Painter or Photoshop, and quickly found out why Illustrator isn't used much for that. On the other hand, it tends not to look like so much like a vector--even though it is.
No mesh. No raster effects. Lots of custom art brushes, a few blends, some symbols. No photo-reference (this was drawn from life). No Wacom tablet (this was drawn with a mouse). Lots of headaches.
Enjoy.
