Hey guys,

I haven't been able to come to class because I've been sick and then got my wisdom teeth pulled. So I need a little help getting caught up. Can anybody just give me kind of a basic outline of the steps that they used? I know that we are supposed to start with tracing our image, can anyone kind of explain how to do that to me?

Thanks so much!

  1. I've had good luck with the tutorials listed earlier in the blog for tracing and then some of the fill stuff. Good luck.

  2. Remember, this is assignment should get you pretty familiar with Illustrator—the pen tool in particular. Import your photo, then use it as a template to start tracing the shapes. Your final should look something like the examples posted previously on the blog.
    Good luck. Talk to your peeps.
    Peeps: help her out.

  3. I have it all traced but I can't get certain areas to fill in. Every shape is closed but for some reason it isn't filling right. How am I supposed to fill it? What tool do I use?

  4. It will only let me select lines, not shapes. How can I select each shape?
