Illustrator Final Project...so it begins...

We have 4 weeks to complete the assignment.  We had to choose replicating a game board or computer game interface...or...design a step-by-step instructional poster (which to me, seems elementary...so I chose the game board).  I could NOT wait to get started though I really dreaded the detail in the game board of Pictionary which I selected.  After a few hours spent in Illustrator; however, I realized that the drawing becomes quite addictive, and I really accomplished a lot in my first sitting. 

Here is the original photo:
