Michael vector

This was my Adobe Illustrator class Final project.

I put to use a new featured I have recently learned - the mesh tool. I traced over a photo of Michael Jackson and recreated everything in vector graphics. The space background is also created the same way.

Because it is vector, I could blow up his eye the size of the screen and put in very fine details. I also wanted it to still maintain an artistic look, so some of his jacket and other parts are smooth, vectored looking.

Here is another picture of how I made it: [link]
