the requirements for this project were trace a photo of an actual animal (not a cartoon), add fils and strokes as necessary, use one gradient, one blend, one mesh, and add a background with filters. the tools i used were the pen, blend, mesh, and pencil. it used the blend tool on the ears and i used the mesh tool on the glasses and body. i like how the panda looks because he appears to be a boss. i wish the glasses turned out better because they have a random line that shows up whenever i save it. i would give myself an a on this project because it turned out pretty cool.
