Adobe Illustrator: Twirl Tool: Biker Jacket Mandala

I opened a new image and placed a circle with gradient using the ellipse tool . I then used the Twirl Tool  across the circle to create a whimsical shape. I used the polar guide with 6 radial dividers to create the whimsical Mandala.

I opened a new layer with the shirt in it. I then placed the Mandala on top shirt. I make it look more realistic I used  Transparency --> overlay. I then used the pencil tool to line the path of my text.

I did the same method as the above picture to place the text and rose image. The rose was made by using the Polar grid with 6 concentric dividers, 0 radial divider, and fill grid. The fill is light pink and the stroke is dark pink. I then used the wrinkle tool and double-click on the pink grid. I change the stroke to 5 and change the brush to water color. I added whimsical leaves using ellipse tool with Twirl tool. 

Pen Tool 2: Adobe Illustrator: Tracing With the Pen Tool

I opened the post card image and traced the dog using the Pen Tool. I then opened a new layer placed the dog trace in it.

The first layer is a rectangle with white fill and black stroke. The second layer is the dog trace with black fill. I then added a filter-> stylize--> drop shadow.  The last layer is the text which I used the text tool.

I copied  previous image and deleted the rectangle. I then place the shirt into the layer and SENT IT TO BACK. I then placed the dog image on top of the shirt. I change the transparency to overlay.
 

The crane tool was mad using the Pen tool I filled it with live paint gradient. I placed it on the shirt doing the same procedure.

Pen Tool 3: Adobe Illustrator: PEN Tool: Drawing Curves Angel Fish Surf Boards

The angel fish image was made of 5 layers. The first layer is the back ground. I used the pen tool and created three different level of waver and used a blue to blend them together. The 2nd layer is the seaweed. I used the pen tool  form one point to another to draw a wavy,vertical line with fill and stroke. The 3rd layer is the angel fish. I drew the fish with the pen tool and the ellipse and added gradient. The 4th layer is the text tool and  clipping mask. The last layer I placed the surfboard image into it. I then copied the angle fish mask image and placed in on top of the surfboard.
