Heartstrings vector

2011-09-02T23:06:00.000-07:00

First time I think to attempt 2 full people in the same vector image.

Based from one of the polaroid couple shots of Shin Hye and Yong Hwa.

Illustrator only used on the couple. Background created entirely in Photoshop after the exported image from Illustrator was brought into the file.
