Photo Realistic Illustration: Red Camera

This is an illustration I put together for my advanced computer graphics course at Full Sail University. It was done entirely in Adobe Illustrator CS3 with a (low res) photo and sketch for reference. From start to finish it took a little under one week to complete. Below is a breakdown of the process I used to create this image. From left to right it fades from my original sketch to a wireframe view of the Illustrator paths and then finally the finished version. I hope you like it and stay tuned for a print ad using this illustration.
