pmeinertz Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi, For my fourth try in AD I wanted to illustrate at Omega Speedmaster watch. Think it worked out well :-). Still a few glitches here and there :-( The hardest to figure out how to make was the wristband with the try to make it look woven. I did it with a costume made brush I made. I am still amazed how well AD performs. Great to get under the skin of the software. I set my self these challenges (HTC Phone, Nexus phone, Bulb and this) so that I would be sure to really learn to use AD, not just fooling around. Compared to how I usually does these illustrations Photoshop (Vector Layers), then AD is by far the easiest. Please enjoy! If anybody is interested I can upload the original AD file. UPDATE! I have added the AD original file also now. Br, Philip Omega.afdesign buschbrand, David, Adalbertus and 20 others 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrograde Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hehe, I may have overstepped there slightly, :D but.... and obviously photoshop is huge beast with deep image manipulation capabilities I am not even aware of..., for this kind of work, for illustration or creating illustrative images be they photo realistic or painterly from scratch (as opposed to creative photo manipulation - we'll wait for Affinity Photo for that) Affinity Designer is showing us that it can certainly rise to the challenge. It's the implementation of vector/pixel compatibility combined with ease of use that does it for me. Focusing on great features and a streamlined workflow that delivers results is going to win people over. Competition benefits us all, and it's been awhile. ;) VectorWhiz 1 Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackamus Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Excellent piece of work and my kind of illustration. There are those who would say , "why not use a photograph?" My answer to that is you couldn't take a photo that good! Well done! Gear maker 1 Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!
