after completing my digital skills module, I decided that I was never going to improve my skills in adobe illustrator if I didn't put in the patience and practice.
using images I had seen and collected over the internet I decided to make minimalist posters for Gurren Lagann, a television series I had just finished.
I took a piece of iconic clothing that each of the 3 main characters wear throughout the series and make them into vectors using the pen tool, each took around 2 (very frustrating) hours, but once completed I couldn't have been happier with the end result, although these designs wouldn't be much to many of the other students in the class (and would probably take them considerably less time to make) I could barely make a simple shape with the pen tool before.
This has helped me come to grips with anchor points, handles and selection tools, these are all things I have had knowledge of in college but I find myself having more patience when I'm not constrained to a classroom, These have proved rather popular on my Tumblr page and have 50+ likes and reblogs.
