Rachel McAdams (Vector Drawing)

Subject =Rachel McAdams, movie actress

Please note that this is NOT a photo. (One group that recently requested this image to appear in it placed it in their photography folder - it is a vector drawing.)

There is another version of this drawing in my gallery:
Rachel McAdams Diagonal

Reference Photo

Media = Adobe Illustrator

Tools / features used in Illustrator:

Pen tool; gradient mesh; pathfinder (divide); blur filter (on some high lights/ shadows on skin); clipping masks, transparency panel.

Brushes used in background (design element):
"Elegant Curl and Floral Brush Set."
I'm not sure if these are freebie brushes I downloaded a long time ago, or if they shipped with the software.

Hair: these brushes by Deviant Art member Jimro (thank you, Jimro!)

"Live Trace" was not used on any part of the drawing.

Photoshop was used only to re-size the vector drawing, and I added my name. The drawing itself (face, torso, hands, hair, dress, heels etc) was all done in Illustrator.

Please do not use this drawing without my permission.

Any Deviant Art groups I submit this to obviously do have my permission to place this in their galleries.
I also do not object to any Deviant Art members adding this to their Deviant Art collections or Deviant Art "favorite" collection(s), and Deviant Art obviously has my permission to have this art on their server(s).
