A couple years ago, I took some graphic arts courses at a local community college, Rock Valley College. Mostly I did this to improve my photography, but I had hoped eventually I'd be able to earn an associates degree in their graphic art program. Since I've changed jobs, I've been unable to continue classes there, but I hope eventually I'll be able to go back.
One of the classes I took was an Into to Abobe Illustrator. I really enjoyed the class, and the final project was to re-create a photograph in Illustrator. The photo I chose I took while Steph and I were in Vegas, and it's from the New York New York Hotel. If you've never seen it before, it's a hodge-podge structure, seemingly assembled from fragments of the New York cityscape. It's pretty tacky.... Anyway, I chose the above shot as my subject, and here's what I ended up with:
The drawing is on the right side. I know this is far from professional quality, but it literally took me days of work, and I was pretty happy with the results.
