Illustrator Spacecraft

Project Description: Today I finished my spaceship on Adobe Illustrator. It was difficult at the start but once I began playing around and learning more of Illustrator I became more familiar with it. you can make great designs on illustrator so its important that I do learn how to use it. Im very excited for my next illustrator project and I will try my best to make it as great as my spaceship was.

Shape Tools: Circles, Triangles, and Ovals.

Drawing Tools: Pen Tool, Ellipse Tool, and Gradient Tool.

Self Reflection: I really liked the outcome of my spaceship. I understood this tutorial and I believe that it reflects on how well I did above. I added a great looking space with stars for the background of my ship as well.

Participation/Project: I tried my best for this spaceship and i was glad with the results. The dark background really bring outs my red spaceship. i would grade myself overall a 9/9 for this tutorial.
