For this class project, you are going to be working off of an image that you will turn into a custom illustration using the pen tool. This can be an image of a person or a pet. The sky's the limit so get creative and think about something or someone you would love to turn into a custom piece of art. By the end of this project, you will have completed an illustration ready to be printed, framed, and hung up on the wall or tacked to the fridge.

Breakdown of the class project:

Select an image that you would like to base your illustration on.
Get familiar with the pen tool. Trace and color your Illustration using anchor points and paths.
Create a rough outline and share your work in progress with the class.
Finalize your illustration by cleaning up the anchor points and paths.
Post your final illustration to the class project and show off your new skill!
