In the way I've traced and drawn this in Illustrator, I wanted to get a sense of negative space if some areas aren't filled in traditionally. So here is the PNG version of the drawing.
And over here is the JPEG version of the drawing when exported from a PDF. It's not as flashy or neon like the previous illustration given how its a plant in the subject. But I particularly like this two-color scheme that may be a little hard to discern from the white BG, but the two colors work well in harmony.
It is the first photo I have used to trace the plant, pot, as well the SD card to overlay the slightly 3D mrMINI on. It was a little interesting to try to prop the card on the pot with just a piece of tape. And then to imagine how MINI will pose with legs and limbs based on the card's position in the photo.
Photos of the Illustrator file where I've drawn MINI for this new installment. Locking the original photo in place to trace over. As well various assets outside the artboard including: other photos I could choose, copies of MINIs where I used the new color scheme from, and vector prototypes of the drawn pot and leaves/dirt.
