The Sweet Escape - Part 1

Unlike my last piece there will probably only be 2 parts to this piece. But there will also be 2 different feels too this one too, so 2 final copies. One Vintage and one (can't find the words atm tho....) semi vintage but more like a wash-out comic book. I'm going to leave the colors (or lack of colors lol) like that. So the second final is just going to see what it could also look like.
And if you think I got this name the song by Gwen Stefani, you would be right lol, my sis loves here and this song was playing in the bg when i was trying to think of a name so i could save it lol, so I'm like wth I'll go for it. It was originally going to be the sized for a widescreen desktop monitor but then didn't want to fiddle with that wide of canvas so cut it in about 1/3rd so it could work with it better.
This first part was really annoying because I vectored another girl first but didn't like the feel of it so found a better stock that fit more of the feel I was going for. Wasted a good 4 hours on the first vector. Man this hair was a bitch, kept on seeing little hairs i missed. And I only did this in 1 layer too lol. And Illy was being a little tool and shutting down at random times for no apparent reasons. Most work I lost from that was like 15 mins, I tried to save really often so when that does happen, I don't loose alot of work.

Total Time for this part: About 12 hours (includes first vector too)

Done in Adobe Illustrator CS3
