I’ve been getting a few emails for freelance work lately but I thought I’d post up an entry to let people know my work status.

As of the moment I am not taking any freelance work. I’m in the midst of working on my design portfolio so I can get a job at design firm as well as dealing with some personal issues… so I will be out of doing freelance for a while.

I will keep everyone updated in the future for availability.

Before I get into creating a full illustrator tutorial, I need to first make a basic guide on how to use the pentool. This is essential for creating a vector base illustration. Plus I tend to ink my vector illustrations using this tool, and if you don’t know how to use it, my tutorial will just go over your head. :’D Once you know how to use it, then you will be able to ink your own illustrations. :)

Remember to use layers to keep your objects in the right place. You don’t want want one of your illustration’s eyes, for example under the head where it can’t be seen. Command (Control for PC) + Shift [ or ] or Command (Control) [ or ] will be your best friend.

First off, you need something to trace. In my case, my fugly sketch of my reaper bunny. If you don’t have a sketch, grab any picture with an easy shape to trace. The rest of the tutorial after the entry cut link below. :)
