Lesson 5 - Type as a Design Element

For this assignment, I found a photo online of a puppy. I imported the photo into Illustrator and used the colors as a guide for my image.

Lesson 4 - More fun with Numbers

Lesson 4 - Fun with Type

Ugh!  I have to say that learning how to use the Pen Tool was a real challenge, especially after having fun with the free form pencil and brush tool. I never thought I would get it, but after replaying Jeff's tutorials over and over to see how he did it- I finally got it! Whew!!

Lesson 4 - Draw a Landscape

Again, more experimentation with color and adding gradients to the sky.

Lesson 3 - Draw an Animal

Our next Lesson was to start to draw in Illustrator. I really like cute animals so this was a fun lesson for me. I experimented with drawing outlines for the character but I settled on drawing with shapes using the pen tool.

Lesson 2 - Collage

Our first assignment was to play with the tools and make a collage. This was tons of fun :-)
