Late night doodle


I found this really cool photo of a woman in a feathered hat. It was such a cool picture that I had to sketch it before I went to sleep. I'm sorry, Bonnie, for stealing your hat thing. I didn't mean to, honest.

to jen: From what I can tell, it's really difficult to get illustration work. I'm not even exactly sure *how* to, short of paying a fortune to be published in one of those illustrator books.

to bonnie: NEITHER!!! I drew it in Flash, cleaned up stray points in Illustrator, and then added the paper texture in Photoshop.
Although, I could've added the texture into Illustrator or Flash.

I really hated drawing in Flash at first. There aren't as many brush choices as Illustrator, and it doesn't "simplify" lines as nicely.

But.... if you hate dealing with bezier curves in Illustrator, Flash is nicer. Plus, it's really nice to sketch in.

gah...flash is everywhere. I think I have it on a disk somewhere, I need to install it. I prolly should kick illustrator off my computer (I rarely use it) and put flash on instead.
