Craft: I decided to change my illustration picture to something that would allow me to work the software better. My last picture was a fairly difficult and lead to me not really enjoying everything about the software. Now I really wanted to make sure I could illustrate the depth of the photograph. I did that with the feather and transparency effect. I used those main effects for the entire back ground and it really helped allude/give depth to the illustration. Since the back is all blurred out I really wanted the foreground to be crisp, clean, and show all the detail I can, after all it is the main focal point. I managed to successfully trace the all star logo with the pen tool to show the raggedness of the shoe. As for the smuggles and highlights I used the brush tool.
As for the shoes, I had a really hard time with those. The shoes in the photography are plaid. I did try to express this in the illustration, however it was occupying a lot of time that could be put into other details of the shoe. Since Converse are really not know for/recognized for the "plaid canvas'" I simple made the canvas one color, and put as much detail as I could in the rubble bottoms of the shoe.
Composition: The arrangement of this illustration worked out a lot better then I thought it would. The depth is great and so is the clear detail in the front.
Concept: My concept has not changed much, I am still striving to show the idea of " here are some old beat up shoes on my studio/apartment".
