When I first started making the move away from drawing on paper to drawing on my computer I mainly used Adobe Photoshop. I found Photoshop was easy to use but most of the other cartoonist and illustrators I had spoken to or met were using a confusing little program called Adobe illustrator.
No matter how many hours I sat at my computer experimenting with Illustrator all it did was leave me angry and frustrated. So I decided to go and do a course through CAE (Centre for Adult Education), on the basics of Adobe Illustrator.
Below are two of the first Illustrations I created on that course. The course was all about creating shapes, using gradients and the pen tool (along with other topics).
The course was great, it gave me a lot of confidence in using the basics in Illustrator and from there I began experimenting, which allowed to create the work I do today.
