Proficiency with the Pen Tool and Use of Gradients

In this assignment we had to trace a vehicle using the pen tool in Illustrator. We also had to make the image appear as true to life as possible. The use of the gradient tool had to be employed to show how the lighting was expressed on different parts of the vehicle. It was a difficult assignment but I was pleased with the end result. By the way so was my teacher! She actually asked if she could use it as a sample for future classes. Wow!
