Leonardo Toro

This is one of my favorite illustrations I’ve created. For this school project, I designed a photorealistic illustration for the National Wildlife Federation. I used the mesh tool in Adobe Illustrator to bring a leopard to life with stunning realism. This involved meticulously placing dots and sampling colors from a real photograph, then adjusting the mesh lines to accurately form the mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. The process was intricate and time-consuming, but it allowed me to achieve a high level of detail and authenticity in the final piece.
