Illustrator Vid....

People ask me how I do my illustrator drawings or theres the ones who think it's just traced or I use some effect but the truth is they take hours of drawing using just the pencil tool in illustrator!! I see the image as a mix of colours that I draw which then comes together to form the main image, each drawing poses a new challenge. Some may not see this as real art but that is where your wrong, art is about experimenting with different styles/ materials etc, I never used to be a fan of illustrator always doing art more the traditional way but I have found the eye for detail I have developed while doing these illustrator drawings has improved my pencil to paper sketching too. It's good to be different and form unique pieces of art, you just have to explain yourself that bit more as people can't believe you have the patience to do something like that!! So here's a short vid of how I go about drawing on illustrator, what you see took me 1 hour and 20 mins condensed down to 2 minutes and the rest of the drawing will take me much longer!!
