ANIMAL RELATED ILLUSTRATIONS:
ANIMALS IN ILLUSTRATIONS:
I have had the honor of working with several animal sanctuaries and reahabilitation centers over the years. It's very rewarding to contribute even a small amount to the preservation of species and the humane treatment of wildlife thats injured or neglected.
I also have more than a few fictional animals populating my portfolio including a dragon, a snake made out of an electrical cord and several dinosaurs.
WORK DONE IN ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR:
WHAT IS ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR?:
Adobe Illustrator is a vector based illustration program made by Adobe Systems. Vector graphics are based on shapes. The shapes are defined by points along their edges that control the direction, bend, and other values. Adobe illustrator is the industry standard for vector rendering.
I have used other packages for vector illustration over the years including Freehand and CorelDRAW. In the end Illustrator became my primary choice for vector illustration and graphic design. I still export vector art from programs like Sketchup and Maperitive, but those files still get imported into Illustrator at some point. I have been using Illustrator since about 1990.
I frequently use Adobe Illustrator to create Art Deco and Italian Futurist style illustrations. The vector format lends itself well to these styles that are known for their fields of color and geometric nature. I also frequently use Illustrator to create axonometric illustrations. The geometric nature of the program makes it ideal for this technical kind of rendering.
Vector based art created with Adobe Illustrator can be animated using Adobe After Effects to create motion graphics. To learn more see my After Effects and Premiere Pro Portfolio.
