Sugar Skull Tutorial Project



Students,
Follow this Multi-Step Tutorial to create your own Sugar Skull design. This tutorial will teach you how to make geometric patterns, how to use masks, color and patterns in adobe illustrator. Use the skills you have developed to make your Skull design unique and eye catching. Read the requirements below:
Mr. Wilsons sugar skull design, 3 colors, diamond patterns...
Sugar Skull Project:
  • Your design must be created in Illustrator on Letter size (8 1/2 inches wide by 11 inches tall).
  • Your design must be colored using limited colors, 3 colors maximum. Black and white count, my skull below uses blue, orange and white only
  • Consider using complementary/split complementary or triad color harmonies... look through the palettes that Illustrator provides
You will have 3 days of lab time to complete this tutorial. Any work turned in late will have points deducted. Failure to meet the above specifications will result in point deduction. The deadline is Thursday at end of class.


Below is my own sugar skull design, I followed the tutorial but made subtle changes to the shapes. Think of all the different themes we can draw shapes from. I used diamonds instead of teardrops for instance. Make your skull look unique.

Have fun! - Mr. W
