My Digital Illustration Midterm. The project assignment was to take a high res photo, and manually posterize it in Adobe Illustrator.

Every colour shape you see making up this king cobra was individually hand drawn by myself in illustrator.

It's been sized down to about 33% of it's original size, and cropped even further for the sake of framing.

I'm still not totally pleased but it was a great learning experience in tonal values.

The photo used for this was a royalty free photograph from Getty Images, and can be found here - [link]
