Workflow
Follow Along the in-class pre-activity/demo
Brainstorm at least 3 ideas
Pick 1 and consider all the imagery you will need to draw
Draw in a doodle like style on a blank sheet of paper several items that you want to incorporate on your cup
Sharpie over your drawing if you started in pencil (a wacom tablet could also be used for this project)
Check your drawings. Do they have any openings you need to close up with your sharpie?
Photograph your drawings using your phone or the class camera (or scanner)
Send & download your drawing from your email to your computer (put drawings in a links folder)
Place in Illustrator and use image trace to convert your photo from raster to vector (don't forget the expand button)
Compose your drawings on the cup template (layer, size variation, rotation) & Add Text (download a new font?)
Convert your image trace drawing into a "live Paint" selection (Object- Live Paint- Make)
Live Paint your drawings (see resources above if needed)
Make refinements & edits to fine tune your design. Try and alternate as well.
