I used the ellipse tool and the pen tool to create the dart. I used the shape builder tool to combine some of the shapes then used the draw inside tool and blob brush to create the shading and highlights. I used the pen tool to create the piece of paper and then used the type tool the put the words in the turned them into outlines and rotated them to fit the paper.
I then created a new layer to make the dirt for the background. I used the mesh tool to create the blend of colors. I then used the ellipse tool at a reduced opacity to create the damp mark on the ground under the needle.

This is cute, I like that you thought outside the box and didn't just draw a monkey

ReplyDeleteI really like how the background is blurred to create emphasis on the point you are trying to get across.
ReplyDeleteThe concept is funny and well thought out.
ReplyDeleteHaha nice. Love your take on the project.
ReplyDeleteI like the detail put into this, very nicely done, But I do feel that the note may not be needed, I would like to see a version of this on a plain background.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea a lot. It is humorous and fits well with the article. Very good illustrator skills.
ReplyDeleteThe perspective and detail are great
ReplyDeleteHa, very clever! Very nice job on the dart the glass is really well done!
ReplyDeleteNice! The monkey isn't physically in this but he is through the message. Great idea and you did a good job with the texture.
