Illustrator



This is my first work on Illustrator. I traced this Lamborghini in almost 20 hours by using just 12 layers. I do know that the more layers I add the more detail the car is but I will have more difficulties in managing these layers and my computer probably run extremely slow. That is the reason why I decided to keep the number of layers small. Next, the most difficult parts are filling color and how to make the car look realistic. In fact, when I traced this Lamborghini, I had many difficulties on drawing the shadow and the reflection so I spent almost 5 hours to play around with the effect tools and then I found out that the Gaussian Blur, the Feather Affect and the Opacity tool could help me solving these difficulties easily. And to help you having a better comparison, I also post the original picture of this Lamborghini. As you can see, there are many details for example the refection on the windows of the car that i cannot draw in illustrator
