This time I created a half circle arc and used 3d revolve on it to get a sphere out of it. Then i used map art option to set the world map image around the sphere.

3d realistic ring in illustrator

Compared to the previous attempt in making a ring, this time i created this ring using the 3d Extrude and Bevel. I applied a metal texture to each side of the ring using map art.

Creating a realistic object with illustrator


In this assignment we were supposed to create a realistic object with the tools we have learned in our illustrator classes. Here I created my phone using gradients, strokes and basic shapes and the other tools that I have learned in illustrator.

Blob Brush Drawing

In this assignment I took an already existing digital drawing image from google as a reference and then tried to draw it with the blob brush. The Blob brush converts whatever is drawn directly to an object in illustrator.

Drawing with the brush

In this assignment I first created one of the beads using basic shapes and blend tool and then I saved them as a custom brush preset and setting rotation relative to path. Then I drew a circle and then used the brush with the saved custom preset brush to draw the necklace.

Mesh Tool


In this assignment I took an apple's picture as a reference to first draw the apple and then used the mesh tool to apple same realistic effects as in the reference picture by selecting different area points in the meshed area of the apple and applying colour using the eyedropper.
