Apes/Monkeys

•

Just a personal project that came on after i had watched Rise of the Apes. I did researches on apes, monkeys and gorillas, it was very interesting, this is just a glimpse, i have more in my mind to put on vector that will come along as soon as i can. :-)

All were done directly in Illustrator CS6.

I had a quite precise idea of what i was going to do and what shapes i was going to use.

I never trace my sketches(because i found that a bit boring even knowing that it's a time saver) and mostly a challenge that i like to give to myself to let spontaneity coming

along creativity.

This was my first try but i flt like the curvy eyebrows shapes didn't match the geometrical overall shapes.

Revision 02

Final, i wasn't sure to use gradient...i love using gradient effect. But it's difficult for me to resist....haha

Just throwing ideas without too much details..

This is a final that use 3 hours 1/2 to draw. I don't like it very much due to too many shapes. So i simplified it . As you can see below, it took me 1hour to simplify. These 2 are final.
