Blend Option/ Tool




Check out these great swirls! I was just playing around so this doesn't look great, but the swirls are super fun to make.

I happened to see this tutorial as I was about to shut down for the day. It took me only a few minutes to figure out how to make really nice abstract swirls. Excellent tutorial.

The Mesh Tool

Today I created a couple of cherries using the mesh tool in Illustrator. I used the tutorial here and although in a lot of tutorials they trace the images I'm trying to keep to just drawing them myself. Tracing an image on the PC seems a bit silly to me.

Vines




I've started playing around with Adobe's CS3. Above is the result of my first anything using both Illustrator and Photoshop.

I'm using whatever online tutorials I can find.
