Digital Art 118 | Assignment Peck School of the Arts ASSIGNMENT 5 - PEN ABSTRACT Use the Pen tool and Strokes to trace the linear aspects of a photo, then fill in your image with color using the Live Paint Bucket tool. OBJECTIVES • The vector document follows file conventions • The image is embedded into the file • The file demonstrates consistent use of accurate smooth anchor traces with the Pen Tool • The pixels and vectors exist on separate layers • Live Paint Bucket tool is used; • Different line weights are used, but stroke color stays the same • Stroke Width tool is used to vary line weight • The file follows proper naming/file type conventions IF YOU DON'T COMPLETE THE RED LINE ITEMS, YOU WILL NOT PASS THIS PROJECT!!!

INSTRUCTIONS 1 Find a complex image in your DIA that is at least 1500 pixels on the shortest side. 2 *In Photoshop, make the image 5" x 5" at 300PPI (Image> Image Size, then Image> Canvas Size / Crop Tool) and make any other necessary adjustments. 3 File > Save As... create a new .JPEG file and place it on your desktop. 4 Open Illustrator, and create a new file that uses the following conventions: A. 1 Artboard DEMO B. 5” x 5” (Make sure you set units to inches, not pixels.) C. No Bleed D. Advanced > RGB, Raster = High (300PPI) (0:45) DEMO 5 Drag and drop the image on to the artboard. (0:29) DEMO 6 Embed the image. (1:38) DEMO 7 Name that layer “Pixels.” (4:14) 8 Lock the Pixels layer. 9 Create a new layer and name it “Vectors.” DEMO 10 Use the Pen tool to recreate as many of the lines in the image as possible (Do not add color fills yet). (0:04) DEMO 11 Use the same stroke color, but change the stroke weight. (1:22) DEMO 12 Utilize the Stroke Width tool to vary the width of your strokes. (1:19) 13 Turn off the “Pixels” layer. 14 Create a duplicate of the “Vectors“ layer; name it “Live Paint.“ Lock the “Vectors“ layer. Optional: drag the “Vectors“ layer above the “Live Paint“ layer to keep custom strokes visible. DEMO 15 Make all of the drawn lines in the “Live Paint“ Layer into a Live Paint Object; use the Live Paint Bucket tool to add color fills. (1:29) DEMO 16 Use the Live Selection Tool to clean up the lines of the drawing, if needed. (1:21) 17 Set the Live Paint group's stroke swatch to “none.“ DEMO 18 Save the .AI file using the following naming conventions: pen_lastname.ai Example: pen_fett.ai (0:00) 19 Use the Save As... command to create a new .PDF file with the following naming conventions: pen_lastname.pdf. Example: pen_fett.pdf 20 Upload BOTH the .AI and the .PDF associated with this assignment to your section’s dropbox before the beginning of your lab section. *NOTE - WE RECOMMEND EDITING ALL PIXEL-BASED CONTENT IN PHOTOSHOP.
