Fun with Illustrator
I started taking a class in Illustrator a few weeks back, just because it was something I had wanted to learn for a while, especially after getting to know designers and professional illustrators who use it all the time.
I’m slowly grasping how it works and how to use some of the tools, and for practice the other night, I made these Boos!

The wings maybe could use a little work, but I’m happy with it as a beginner’s Illustrator illustration.
I don’t know if I would want to use Illustrator as a way to sketch out ideas from scratch, but it’s certainly a lot of fun to play around with manipulating basic shapes.

That’s cool. Is it like a program that you get for your computer?

Yes, it’s an application, sort of like Photoshop, used a lot by illustrators and graphic designers.

Ooo, I would love to get my hands on a copy of that. Until I do, I’m pretty happy in Photoshop. With your creative mind, you are going to come up with some great images!

I use this site: good-tutorials.com for learning new tricks with illustrator (and other programs).
Love the Boos! Adorable in knit and vector forms!
