Hi everyone, in this entry, I will talk about my exercise in DIM2 class: Tracing path for a car.
I think everybody in class knew about this already and someone did better than me. This exercise is really a nightmare for me. Li Ping, you have just only taught us a little bit about Illustrator: opening, closing the program, pen tool and, color adding and...that's it. But your exercise is so difficult, tracing a real car, oh my God, you must be kidding me...
However ^^, this exercise improve my skill a lot. Now I can control myself in each path, it is a good exercise...
Okie, that's enough for Li Ping. Now, I will show you my product:
Well, totally, It looks like the original one below, I feel pleasure with it. But there are some mistakes in details, typically the car light, holder and the wheel. I tried to make the color as the origin but there are some place I have to compose by myself (_ _!).
I used total 20 layers to finished and it take me about 5 hours. What a hard working! I heard that some student used more than 200 layers to do this tracing... I don't think that's a good idea. It may be make you confuse. So I divide each parts of the car to layers: door, wheel, light...
Firstly, I intent to keep the borders of the car, but I looks like a toy so I omitted border, but it looks blur and the last decision is 0.25pt for main borders and omit border inside.
Those are a little bit experiments, hope you comment for my work

I think your car is so detailed so your car seem to lokk like fake. However, generally your car is good
