Bird and Vines

This little something just sounded like a nice idea. The vines were vectored in illustrator, and it was surprisingly not that difficult. The vines go from bigger to smaller because I created a brush that looks like a long sideways triangle, so when I drew the line with the pen tool, I just apply the brush and it conforms to the brush shape. Really neat and something I recently found out about, lol.
Then after the vines were completed, I dragged it into photoshop and applied the really nice textures, selecting the shapes of the bird and vines for separate more subtle textures.

Enjoy!
