we were assigned to choose a city and create a postage stamp based on that city
MOOD BOARD
The country I chose was Beijing, China. I focused on The Great Wall landmark. After choosing the landmark and art style I wanted to go for, I looked for an image of the great wall then sketched the layout I desired.
I used a real image of The Great Wall as a base. Then traced in using pen tool. However, I end up choosing to not focus much on details since it looks better that way.
PROCESS
You can see here how I used the image as the base for tracing.
For the clouds and sun I chose to freehand it and also added a bit of a glow effect behind the sun so that it doesn't fall flat.
As for the pathway I added a bit of texture mimicking cement.
FINAL RESULT
