Timothy and the Strong Pijamas (1)

This was my final in my Illustrator class. We were assigned to make the front and one page of a children's book for Timothy and the Strong Pijamas. The storyline was given and we were told to just show off as many of the skills we had learned in the class. Below is the page inside the book. For the other half of this assignment, go here.

For this page, I created the flowers and grass combination with the sprayer tool and the fence was created and then morphed with the 3D-rotate tool. The aligator and boy are both drawn using the pen tool. His pijamas are a pre-made pattern and the Aligator's skin was a patter that I modified slightly. His eyes use a self generated gradient. The sky and grass are both rectangles that I added gradients and filters to.

*Please note that both of these were created to be high-resolution for profesional printing (300 psi) so they may appear jagged on a monitor (usually 72 psi). Other tools, such as the text tool, were also used but are not discussed here.
