Realistic Vector Illustration from Photo
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
I need a clean, true-to-life vector drawing of a single real-world photo recreated in Adobe Illustrator. The goal is to capture the original image as accurately as possible—proportions, lighting, and color—without adding special effects or textures.
Purpose: I’ll be printing this as a poster/flyer, so the final artwork must hold its detail at A3 size.
Deliverables
• Editable .AI file (CC compatible)
• High-resolution print-ready PDF (300 dpi, CMYK)
• A flattened PNG preview
Keep the workflow straightforward: trace or redraw directly in Illustrator, refine paths, apply solid or gradient colors where needed, and preserve crisp edges suitable for print. A quick draft for review followed by a single round of minor tweaks is all that’s required.
