PROCESS WORKS 

Task 1 : Vormator Challenge - Character Creation

First I have to trace out the provided elements, after that I use the elements to combine the character i'm going to make.

I'm trying to make a scary monster and began to search for ideas on pinterest

Final vormator outcome : 

I tried to make it simple and use 3 main color for this (white, deep red, and black)

Task 2 : Composition 

Place your Vormator character into a Pokemon card composition, incorporating foreground, midground, and background elements. You may also create a new shape not bound by the vormator rules or shapes. You may also come up with a new character that does is not bound by the vormator shapes.

We learn a new tools to color using gradient etc. So i began to change the color of the monster and did some modification for the final character

SELF REFLECTION 

At first, i was struggling to use adobe illustrator, there's so many tools and some new shortcut. After week 3 i manage to slowly learn about some tools and now i'm getting use to it. 

Through the exercise, I learn about basic character design and how to create simple character using vormator shapes and how to make shadows.
