Since the application to Intoxic Studio, I started praticing Illustrator because it is a skill they are looking for which I am terrible at. I have tried making some proper illustrations from illustrator before but I was not skilled and worked slowly. With these frequent practices, I hope I could be skillful with the basics also speed up the pase. Youtube is where I find the tutorials from, most of them are very simple with direct instruction therefore I just played around the software at the spare time.
I think keeping a theme to all these practice would be quite fun to look at at the end so I illustrate food just because I am a foodie. Usually illustrate what I ate at that day!
A quick reflection after a week of illustator practice: It definitely requires time to be familiar with the software. So far, I remember some hot keys and the pen tool but still a lot to learnt in order to illustrate complicated images. What I am not happy with is that the end product looks right but the working progess is not professional and the vectors are very messy. Therefore I will keep experimenting with easier shapes, really picking up the software from basic, build a strong foundation.
