My Tutorial

My tutorial was a smoky brush tutorial. I found it at http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-smoky-brushes-and-type-in-illustrator-cs4--vector-3226

It was relatively simple, but it was difficult making it look exactly how I wanted to. I didn't want it to be overly complicated, but I didn't want it to be too simple. I created a variety of brushes and strokes until I finally reached the brush that I was happy with.

My favorite part of the tutorial was experimenting with brush shapes and sizes. I liked making the brush complex and seeing how it differed from a simpler brush. My favorite brush that I created was the most complex.

My least favorite part was copying the lines because it was the longest part and it was repetitive.

I learned how to create a brush. I also learned that when drawing with the pencil tool, the speed that you draw at, changes the look. If you draw quickly, it gives a different effect than when you draw slower.

The part that I did well was creating a variety and exploring brushes.

In the future, I want to learn more about the brush tool and how it differs from the pen and the pencil tool.

In the future, I need to research tutorials that can expand on the creation of brushes.
