Build your dream home in Adobe Illustrator.

Your class project is to:

Illustrate your dream home
- TIP: Make sure you include elements that are personal to you! What makes this YOUR dream home?
BONUS: Try out different times of day or season by changing your color palette.

Deliverables:

When you’re finished, you should have:

An exported JPG or PNG of your illustration of your dream home

Completed sketch and lighting exercises from the class resource tab

Please share any work in progress, like your practice exercises, sketches, or experiments as you move through the lessons. I would love to see what you’re creating! Additionally, please share anything you’ve created to the project gallery, so the community can give you feedback! :-)
