Illustrator

Posted on by

I’m so getting into using Illustrator again. I’m totally twisted and chaotic, I realise that. But I have been working with this app and I forgot what it was like because I was totally into Photoshop for a very long time… I neglected Illustrator but what a lovely app this is and it is SO much better than it used to be. Jeez what a simple installation or update can cause. Now I wish I had done it earlier, but I reckon there’s a reason for this and I won’t try to dig into that [for now].
I have seen amazing artwork done in Illustrator and I’m eager to learn the technique so I can use it myself. I reckon I will once I start using this app more often. I remember I used to do stuff like the example below but back then it wasn’t as good as it would be now since a lot has changed in Illustrator, I love the mesh tool which seems to be a curse to some designers, I see why but I reckon you should use the tools that are convenient and giving you more options to get the perfect result.
What would’ve limited me in the past is no longer an issue with CS2 and I’m happy to rediscover the use of this app. All I need now is more time to explore it… emoticons/biggrin.gif
I love this artist and her artwork, just amazing stuff! Her name is *Limkis…

Didn’t do much last couple of days. Have been checking out Photoshop filters and bought a few as well, I’m addicted to those… very expensive hobby but so much fun to use! I’ve been building something yesterday and couldn’t stop till A. came home…
Here’s a preview, and I just realised that I need an A3 printer [color] now so I can update my portfolio… and Christiaan… you were right, my G5 is much faster but I noticed that it’s still not fast enough so A. now wants to buy mine and he told me to get the latest…
He’s totally converted to Mac since he bought some expensive firewire apparatus to connect his drum machine to his PC *aye, curse… curse…* The Mac had no problem at all but the other machine which-name-shall-be-unspoken had some. Conclusion, he needs a Mac and wants one [or two].
I will have to think it over since I’m not too keen on buying a first release… Anyway here’s my picture, there’s not much detail left because it’s A3/300 dpi and I had to resize it, but you’ll get the overall impression. Now I need to look up how to get to Mac Expo tomorrow…
