Papillion

For this cute puppy, we learned a new function.  I file placed this puppy into my artboard.  I then clicked on image trace and clicked the 16 colors option.  Then I clicked image, object, expand, ungroup, ungroup so that each part of the picture was its own section now.  I changed the green on the dog’s face by hitting select, same, fill color and changed it to another color in the dog’s face, using the eyedropper tool.  I then deleted the whole background of green using the same method of select, same, fill color.  I then used the eyedropper to make swatches from this dog image.  After this, I opened the brushes panel and opened brush library.  I opened bristle brushes and picked the 6.00 mop brush and the fan brush, alternating.  I used these brushes (with a lowered opacity and width of the brush) to create fur on the puppy.  After this, I recreated the nose by using the pen tool and a gradient in the middle, to cause some 3D aspect.  After this, I recreated the eyes to show more of an emotion in the dog.  I drew a perfect circle by holding down the shift while dragging out the ellipse tool.  I added a radial gradient to this shape.  I then added a color circle behind this circle, using one of my swatches.  I then made two white circles, tiny.  I dropped the opacity down to 80%.  This dog was so fun to make!
