An oldie.

"Tea" illustration for Illustration Friday done in February, 2006.

Program: Photoshop
Time to complete: No idea. It was over a year ago. Maybe 2.5 hours.

Almost all of the vector layers are in, shown with the bulk of them at 30% opacity:

All of the layers are now in and they have their own color and I've started laying in lines on new layers, grouping the lines to the layer that they are above. I'll show why that's handy in a future video:

And here's the final illustration:

Here's the same image with all of the shapes turned off:

...and with all of the lines turned off; shapes turned on:
