Original Image




+ Open an image and place it on a blank canvas. Lock it in its position to prevent from moving.
+ By using the same tracing method as last week, trace the outline of the image one by one. For instance, start by first tracing the body of the apple/banana. Then the stem, leaf, shadows, etc.
+ Use different layers for each part to make everything more organised and editable.
+ Click on the Mesh tool on the tool bar and begin outlining the 3D image.


+ Use Direct Selection tool and the eyedropper tool to fill in the shapes and colours.
+ Finally, compare the colours & shapes to the original image. Make sure they are as similar as possible.
