In this project I used Adobe Illustrator to build a photo-realistic watch. I used several references of a similar watch to build the final product over two weeks.

I used so many Gaussian blurs I added my own shortcut to it in Illustrator. This project was extremely detail focused, recreating shadows reflections and other 3D effects in a 2D software was an extreme challenge.

At the beginning i focused on getting the separate shapes built, getting the proportions correct.

This project pushed me to learn and understand how light works in ways I had never considered before. It was a ton of fun, very happy with the result.
