a friend of mine did a quick illustrator demo for me last week. i spent a few hours playing around today...well, i played later in the day. the first part of my practice was mostly me grumbling and pounding my desk. anyway - i powered through! the sketches are still rough, but i can successfully make varied width curved lines. progress!

| draft 1 |
estimated time to completion for the first seguero line? ~ 60 mins.
I know how to work with layers, so the fundamentals of constructing the drawing were there. but i had no idea how to create the varied line width. actually, i had no idea how to use the pen tool at all. after meeting up with graham, i turned to youtube. I like Philippa Berry Smith's tutorials a lot.
I've got a good base now. I plan to refine the cacti and add more succulent behbehs this week. Yay to new tools!
