Emulation 1

This is my first emulation.

The first step to creating my emulation was creating the base of the character I was creating, to create this I used a reference image to see what the animal I was creating looked like and to get the basic base shape of the bird.

I then began creating the beak to create this I used the pen tool to graph the basic shape of the beak and then I started creating small individual shapes to form the top part of the beak.

After creating all the other shapes and details I then began coloring the piece to do this I used the swatch panel and created a swatch group so I could easily access the colors I was using I also dragged the color picker out of the side bar and carefully selected each color I wanted for each shape.
