Objects Assignment ~ Chef's Knife [In Colour!]

For all 5 coloured pieces, I just copied each of the original, and used the fill tool. On the sepia freehand [top] I just fooled around with various shades of brown. I regret not doing the outlines in the same shade, but you can't cry over spilled milk. I was aiming for and 'eco-friendly' approach for the "Green Blade" [middle] I used a solid yellow, and again, fooled around with the different shades of yellow-green, and then using a solid green on the blade. The Plum Knife [bottom] is one of my favourites, since purple is my favourite colours. My recently bought plum purple converes had inspired most of the colourings on it.

I was getting a little tired of black and white, but enjoyed old photos so for the sepia trace [2nd top] I fooled around with the same-ish shades of brown, as the freehand sepia knife. I had realized by this picture that I could colour the outlines, so it did look cartooney, but not TOO cartooney. It would have been nice to get it to look realistic. On the Reverse Original [2nd middle] I didn't do the colouring. The credit has to go to Adobe Illustrator. I used the fill called steel cylinder. I really like how it turned out on the blade. I wanted it to be lighter, but I couldnt figure it out. For most of the other fillings [if not all] I just filled them in with black.

I tried my hardest to replicate the knife. Both in the tracing, and the freehand drawing. The thing is, with the freehand, I wanted it to be a little more abstract but also looking quite comparable. I am really happy with how it turned out. It took a while, and many trial and error processes, but the finished product came out better than I had expected.

The trace came out amazingly. I am especially happy with the little details on the blade, and the shadows. That came out much better than I would have thought. The tip of it reminds me of a blimp, which I'm not too happy about, but what can you do?

For both remakes, I used the pen tool. On the freehand, I used the pen tool to make the outline and the little details. The handle, I used the fill tool, and just used black. On the traced version, I started with an entire outline of the knife-which wasn't easy- and then filled in the blade, on a second layer. on the third layer, I did all the details, which include the logos, numbers, and the steel shadows. Doing the details were just SO fun... On the last layer, I did a shadow of the blade, not too noticable but noticable enough. For both the shadow, and the blade, I had just used the fill tool, agian with black.
