I tried to make a simple composition with a graphic tablet and pen. I wanted to show use of the different types of bristle brushes available in Illustrator. I also tried to use the calligraphic pen at first, but I instead turned over to the use of bristle brushes.
What technical skills did you use?
I tried calligraphic pens, but ended up using bristle brushes. I used mostly the mop, fan, and round brushes for the facial portion of the drawing as well as the iris of the eye. For the eyelashes I used a fine liner brush. In addition to brushes I tweaked the opacity of them when making shaded areas.
How do you feel you did on the project?
For my first time with a graphic tablet I think I did a pretty good job! I usually hand draw 99% of my art, so I believe that in a way I was able to translate those analog drawing skills into illustrator with the tablet pen.
