Creating the graphics was time-consuming, but very rewarding. I am very aware that object tracing in Illustrator is straight-up cheating and plagiarism. However, I have always been a fan of how it looks. Because of this, to create many of these vectors, I first used the pen tool to outline the basic shape that I wanted. I then image traced my reference, However, I then break down the image trace into the different shapes and shades that it produces. I manipulate the shapes to fit my outline I created and rearrange them in the way that I think looks best. I then use clipping masks to make sure all my lines are neat. I sometimes stretch out the shapes or compress them to get different textures. For example, in the image of the race car to reference Lightning McQueen, I stretched out the shapes to imply speed. When creating the texture of the van from Onward, I used the eyedropper tool quite a lot to get the different shade variations. Personally, the van and the boot from WALL-E are my two favorites that I created for the timeline.
