I drew his background according to the little monster in Task 1, and expanded it with Greek temples and Medusa snake head

REFLECTION:

Experience:

In this lesson, I began by drafting an initial sketch to better structure my workflow. Subsequently, I imported the image into the AI software and commenced tracing using the pen tool. This process was challenging as it required meticulous path creation to achieve a card-like appearance. Observations： I realized that imagination plays a crucial role in this process. Insufficient imagination at the outset can lead to creative blockages. Additionally, I found the AI software to be invaluable, assisting with complex operations that would otherwise be difficult to execute manually. Findings ： I discovered that designing cards is a multifaceted and intricate task. The creation of monster cards, in particular, can be daunting for many. Determining the desired visual representation of the card, conceptualizing the monster's background and contours, and developing its skills proved to be time-consuming yet highly rewarding and enjoyable.
