What have you learned by using Illustrator?
I feel like I’ve been given a lot of short cuts. I realized how useful illustrator is. So much so that it almost feels like cheating when drawing. I dabble in a little bit of sketching and illustrator makes hours of work done before into mere seconds.
What do you like about illustrator?
I would have to reiterate that it’s how it takes hours of work with a pencil and coloring into mere minutes. It’s crazy. I know it can’t do everything but it’s still awesome.
What about illustrator do you struggle with?
There are still some trouble shooting aspects that I can’t figure out sometimes. Some tools all of a sudden I’m unable to use them. For example I was trying to use the paintbrush and do some freehand coloring and on my image it wouldn’t let me use anything! I had to reload all of the brushes and kind of guess which ones I wanted. I went to another canvas and my paint brush had all the brushes I was used to and I could use them right away, then I went to the canvas I was working on and I was lost as to why I couldn’t use it anymore.
I still don’t know the fix and it’s probably super easy, like some setting that I have to click. Searching for 40 minutes on that is a little frustrating.
