I’ve never claimed to be any sort of artistic person.

In fact, I really do think that I’m one of the most un-artsy people I know. I can’t draw, I can’t sign, dance, paint, whatever. But ever since I entered my Illustration class, I’ve realized that I’m somewhat good at digital art. I mean, I don’t claim to be the next big thing but if I dedicate enough time and have a theme that I like I can do things that make me proud of myself.

Last week, I learned how to use the pen tool in Illustrator. It was really fun. So far I’ve stuck to tracing images but I hope to graduate to tracing my own drawing and stuff soon!

Also I started working on my final project for that class. It is supposed to be a mosaic made in Paco Salinas Fashion. He makes images like this one:

Sample of Salinas’ work sent to me as reference from my professor

I honestly didn’t get the concept so well, so instead of getting tons of pictures my professor told me that I could chop off a picture and make is looks like a make-shitft puzzle.

The image I chose is this one:

I took it at Chapultepec Castle. It is one of the many stained glass pictres there are in a special corridor inside the Castle.

It didn’t take me that long chopping everything off. What took me long was the placement and the “try not to make it look perfect”. My final product:

The little letters on the side are my name XDD.

I really don’t know how I can make this any better than it already is. I really love it and I think that I did a very good job.

Now please tell me what you think in the comments. Is it too perfect? Do you gett the puzzle feeling? Do you like it?

Kisses,

Julie.
