My 1st assignment for applied illustration class

This semester i am taking applied illustration.

The 1st and 2nd class is not very hard for some of us since we had learn it last semester.
We were asked to create lines using pen tool, we know the ways pen-tool works but still it's not easy to get a perfect shapes.

Recall to the previous semester, using pen-tool really stress me a lot since i do not know how pen-tool work totally, they way i pulling it just like using the 'paint' brush, and the outcome end up very worse.

The image above is character that i created last semester, when i still do not really understand how pentool works,the line is overlapping and i don't even know how to control the outline. But someone told me that pen-tool is tricky but it's useful so i started to practice until i get used to it. And for our 1st assignment, twitter bird, we learn some new technique as well, like creating using layers by layers. Layers is powerful ,not only in Photoshop. And a simple shape like twitter bird need to adjust the pen-tool to get the most perfect shape that we can get.

Here's the outcome of 2 twitter bird. Learning a new thing is HARD, but practice makes perfection. If we get ourselves used to it, we can express out idea very well.
