Live Painting in Illustrator

We've been learning Live Tracing and Live Painting in Illustrator CS5. Here's my try on it.

I got this montage drawing on the internet, and it was rasterized...

Montage Drawing

1. Open a new document in Illustrator, and place the file onto it.

2. Go to [Object] --> [Live Trace] --> [Tracing Options]

3. Adjust the tracing options until it looks the way you want.

4. After adjusting tracing options, select the image, go to [Object] --> [Live Paint] --> [Make]

5. Since I want to color it, so I need to close up the small gaps. Go to [Object] --> [Live Paint] --> [Gap Options] --> [Close gaps with paths]

6. Open [SWATCHES], then open [Swatch Library], choose the color palettes you want.

7. Get the Live Paint Bucket to fill in the areas with the color you want.
