I have looked at videos containing different illustrator tools where I wrote what I think of them, if they will be easy to work with or not, if I already worked with them and so on.
In this video we saw four art boards where the two first boards contained the first design and the development where the last two was the finished product. I thought the scull in this video had a lot of cool designs in it, for an example figures and specially gradient effects. I haven’t worked a lot with gradient effect but I think its a cool tool where you can make a “boring” text or figure a lot cooler, especially with a lot of color in it.
The curvature tool is pretty cool because you can change a lot of figures after creating it which I didn’t know you could do. I think it seems like an easy tool that I haven’t used it a lot in my life , but I think I will use a lot when working with illustrator.
In the same video I learned about the mirror tool that I never heard of before. I think its a great tool to use when you are using the pencil tool and drawing shapes if you find it hard to finish a figure you can make it identical with the mirror tool. I think I can use this a lot in the future to get similar figures. Especially in the first video when the artist made a scull, the mirror tool can be perfect in these situations because you can mirror the other side due to all the figures. I think its an easy tool but when you really know hot to work with it you can create amazing stuff.
I look forward of learning more illustrator tools!
