Illustration of Model

I designed this illustration for a brother of mine. This was just his way of testing me, to see what I can do with the illustration program Illustrator CS2. I believe he was impressed.

My brother will probably be around more often for me to illustrate his models. I look forward to doing this and many more.

This was also submitted as a class project in class, the only thing different from this illustration and the one I submitted, is that the one I submitted has a background. I felt it wasn't necessary to post the one with the background.

This image took me 6 hours to do. It is a group of simple shapes in combination with the mesh tool. I like the mesh tool but I am beginning to feel as if it would have just been easier to place the solid colors onto the illustration and move the file into Photoshop CS2 and do the shadings. It came out nice. I hope to get some comments on this!
