Exercise 1-Vormator Character
We need to trace the shapes given and use them to create our own character, the image size was 600px*600px.
The rules need to follow:

Can rotate, flip and duplicate the shapes
Not obliged to use all the shapes
Can scale size, but only proportionally
No skewing or free transform
No altering the original shapes
can add, subtract, intersect and group elements as you see fit
Unlimited colour use
Can use gradients and texture
No outline strokes
No background

The first step is to trace out the shapes given, I use pen tools and shapes tool to trace the shapes out.

Traced Shapes

After tracing out the shapes, I decided to make my character roughly first to see what it looks like in the .ai files.

Vormator Character Layout

So the colour in the first attempts was dark, and after the feedback and the gradients tutorial section, I decided to make some changes on the colour.

This is the colour after making changes.
