I am so sorry for that title that is awful oh God I hath sinned.
Anyway, yesterday we had an Adobe Illustrator induction. Illustrator is a lot more simple than Photoshop and I am certainly more comfortable with it than Photoshop. Illustrator shares similarities with Flash; a program I am much more skilled in than Illustrator and Photoshop put together, so working in Illustrator was a lot easier for me.
Unlike Flash, Illustrator has a lot more features when it comes to drawing (hence the name) such as the gradient mesh and the blending tools. This took a little while to getting used to but I managed to get some nice results after a while.
We were drawing using the Pen tool, normally I would use the brush tool with a tablet but we did not have access to any tablets in this induction, the final part of the lesson had us tracing our characters into Illustrator.
I think these turned out quite well, I'm still getting used to using the gradient meshes and some of them look a little clumsy, but i'm sure after a little practice I'll be fine with them.
Once again, I am so sorry for that title, what was I thinking!?
