Process Summary
- For inspiration, I looked up images of the Western Wall on Pixabay. I combined two pictures to form the base concept – the wall, and the praying man.
- I did the wall first. Using the image as a reference layer, I used brushes to trace the cracks and plants to create the wall illustration.
- Next, I used the Pen Tool to trace the outline of the tallit, the kippah, the man, the table, and the book.
- I wanted a strong, modern font for the poster. The rest of the text was a lot of play-and-experiment to see what fit best.
What I’d Do Over Again
Figuring out how to make the tallit look real was the most difficult part. If I had more time, I’d experiment more with shadows and creases.
