How To Remove A White Background with Adobe Illustrator

Trying to work with an image that doesn't have a transparent background can be a pain, especially if it has a white background and you need to overlay it onto a backdrop that isn't white. In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how you can remove a white background with Adobe Illustrator. This method can also work with any other type of background, whether it be a solid fill, a pattern, or something photographic. Removing the background from an image is something that would be better suited for a photo manipulating program, like Photoshop or GIMP, but it most certainly can be done with Illustrator if that's your tool of choice. The way that we'll be doing this is by creating a silhouette-like tracing of your image's subject, then using it to create a clipping mask.
