Vector illustration 'Janette' on a poster as a birthday present

Vector illustration 'Janette'. It was printed on a poster as given as a birthday present

Girlfriend Janette once showed me a photo of herself, enjoying a warm autumn sun. And because I needed an original birthday present, I used the photograph as a base layer for a vector illustration.

The illustration was printed as a high quality poster and framed.

Made with Adobe Illustrator and with a lot of time to spend. Especially the zipper of her jacket was 'quite' time consuming.
