For this assignment, we had to find a detailed character and colour him using Adobe Illustrator. It wasn't too hard, except it was very time consuming and at times, very stressful. A common problem was that it wouldn't bring the certain lines in front or behind, and making sure the detail is exact and preceise was a difficult task. Only until this project did I realise how much time and effort must be put in in order to make an illustration look good. After finishing this project, I feel more confident in my Illustrator abilities then ever before.

Here are 4 screenshots during the project.
Tracing the outside was fairly easy, just time consuming.
The full tracing, before the colouring.
The colouring part was fairly difficult. Mostly the difficulty came from trying to get each body part to be in place. The arms gave me some trouble, at different times, the "bring to back" or "bring to front" command would not work.
This is the final tracing. This took a span of three days to complete.
