Illustrator

By Tess on Sunday: Jan 07, 2007 at 14:06:26 | | Tickle My Senses (1)

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...

About Tess

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
