Illustrator Experiments

Today we opened illustrator to get to grips with the interface and learnt what could be done on the program. This program has really stuck with me and I seem to pick it up very quickly and enjoy using it other than Photoshop. I can also design everything in illustrator then move it to Photoshop using export to then colour and tweak it slightly adding final touches.
I experimented on illustrator using the touch screen drawing straight onto the canvas using the brush set up of chalk scribble I didn’t have an idea what I wanted my end result to be but after messing it became clear that I could turn the shapes and fluid lines into something very interesting.

This was my image.

I then got told to add shapes and basic text to the image to show my understanding of shapes and tools in illustrator and I came up with this even though I prefer just the phoenix. I understand that I had to add to it to cover the shapes and show that I took everything in while the demo was being taught.
