Thank you, Helen for this very interesting class.

Here is my result of live trace on typing. I choose the little squares brush.

 

And I played a lot with a parrot found on unsplash.

 

My result with 10 colors

 

And my result using an autumn palette : 5 colors

 

Thank you also for explaining the use of the knife tool which was really mysterious for me ...

Once again, I've learned a lot :-)
