Created in Adobe Illustrator, this piece highlights the balance between precision and creativity. The central focus is a detailed black widow spider set against a rich purple background. The composition features the title “Black Widow” in the upper left and the scientific name “Lactrodectus” in the lower right, creating a visual flow that guides the viewer’s eye across the design. This project allowed me to explore vector detailing, symmetry, and contrast while maintaining a clean, bold aesthetic.
This project was inspired by the Toon Me challenge and created entirely in Adobe Illustrator. Using a selfie as the base image, I divided the composition diagonally with a curved line and illustrated one half of my face in a cartoon style. The contrast between the realistic and illustrated sides highlights the connection between traditional portraiture and digital creativity. This piece allowed me to experiment with proportion, stylization, and color while practicing precision with vector tools.
