I never really learnt to use Adobe Illustrator (I used to be a Freehand girl). I keep meaning to get a book and learn properly but for now I just huff and bluff and muddle my way through things, trying to get the effect I want. Sometimes though this means I fluke some interesting effects.
If you look closely at this image Illustrator has sort of split the line work and made a really cool skeleton effect with the lines. I've been working on this little jam jar of weeds for a gocco print and now I'm not sure whether I don't prefer it in this form. Mmmm?

This looks great! Both of them. I especially like the green one though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really like the grey one. REALLY strange, because I'm not a fan of grey usually! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteActually carina I wondered about changing that pic as the image is really a purply brown and changed when i put it on Blogger, but then it grew on me too :-)
And I am in love with that shade of green at the moment too sherrin.
both of these are absolutely gorgeous. i adore the drawing!
ReplyDeleteThey're both lovely. (I think they'd be wonderful on tea towels.)Good to know it's possible to bluff your way through Illustrator - I'm about to start trying to learn it, and was hoping that my Photoshop bluffing would stand me in good stead!
ReplyDeleteI really love these. Beautiful!
