Adobe Illustrator: Sketching with the Pencil Tool & Blending

Pet Rescue

I created this by first putting three circles at different sizes to create the border. Then I created the dog using the pencil. Then smoothing the edges. I added the eyes which are made of circles. Then I added all the text and drop shadows.

I first chose two rectangles to create the border. Then I began drawing my leaves. I duplicated them and added a blend to give it the different colors within. I added the stems. Then I added the rectangle for the words at the bottom and dissolved it a little. Finally I inputted all the text.
