Seasonal Pictograph depicting a courtship through the seasons--one of the first things I ever made in Adobe Illustrator. It's not without its flaws, but I'm still a bit proud of it.

Colorized version of a previous vector composition (also attached). As per my instructor's critique, I moved the magic lamp and smoke further to the right to make the composition more balanced, and rotated the sparkles for more variety.
Which version do you prefer?

Colorized version of a previous vector composition (also attached). I added that time-honored split-complementary combination, red (engine and ties) and cyan (sky and ballast). For aesthetic reasons, I also changed the billowing smoke from black to white.

Zebra stripes in Adobe Illustrator. The assignment was to create an image with an indeterminate background and foreground. Although zebras are actually black with white stripes, it's not always easy to tell because of the way their stripes are arranged--in other words, just what I needed.

Snowman made in Adobe Illustrator. The assignment was to toy with negative space; I know it doesn't look like it, but the white elements are actually part of the background! (How is the Snowman able to drink hot chocolate without melting? Your guess is as good as mine.)

Steam locomotive made in Adobe Illustrator. The assignment was to toy with negative space; I know it doesn't look like it, but the black elements are actually part of the background! I made the engine an LNER Class A4 because I thought its sleek design would translate well to vector graphics.

When you're drawing a creature with as complicated a build as an elephant and you don't have a lot of time, it really forces you to make decisions.
