The top image, which I found I istockphoto.com, was the inspiration for my illustration for the web rants (mypetpeeves.com, dontdatethis.com, etc) story. I originally intended my illustration to have a lot of texture and layers like my inspiration image. I found, however, that it was not so easy to achieve this look (even though I went into it thinking it would be a piece of cake). My illustration still looks too flat/2-dimensional, and I wasn't able to achieve a variety of textures between the different layers. Looks like I have a lot more to learn about working with illustrator! I'm going to work on it more to see if I can achieve more layers and texture by this weekend.
