Illustrator Tutorials
I have taken the time to watch a couple illustrator tutorials on tools for beginners and here are my favorites! The first video I have watched is about learning the basics of working with the 'pen tool' and how one might use it. The pen tool is basically how you would create all your shapes in Illustrator. I think this tool can be easily used. Once you play around with it a little and get used to it I think it will be easy to understand and master. This tool is basically creating lines and curves then connecting them to complete shapes. The thing I found interesting about the video is that you are able to insert images to practice tracing over them to improve your skills then keep the outline and delete the imported image. The second video I have chosen to watch is an introduction to the magic wand tool. This feature is used to select parts of the image or sketch that are of the same. You can select parts of the image by fill color, stroke color, stroke weight, opacity...
