I have recently made another blog post about my first time using Adobe Illustrator. Those thoughts are old and no longer apply to me at the moment. I have gotten used to how Illustrator works and can used most of the learned tool pretty well.
Some tools I have enjoyed using are the mesh tool and the shape tool. The mesh tool can make small highlights on images. We used it to place yellow and brown highlights onto the hamburger buns. We also used it to highlight other images like the lettuce and cheese. I like that it make you look your doing some incredible work of art but, in reality you're just clicking a few buttons on a screen. It also makes it look more appealing and detailed to me. I have previously expressed my frustrations with the shape tool in other blog post, I now have an understanding of how to use it properly. I now know how to merge spaces and get rid of overlapping lines. I just needed so more practice with is all. I guess one thing I was struggling with eas with the gradient tool. I was used to using it in Adobe Photoshop as I thought is would similar to how it is used in Illustrator. I was very wrong. Or maybe I just didn't lioknin the right places. I don't think I look at the properties while I was using it. I wanted to make the gradient into a circle but I didn't know how. I think if I look back it on Tuesday or Wednesday I figure it out. In summary:
