So, uh, hi. Haven't been on CB for a while. Figured I'd break the ice with my attempt at converting a pen sketch to a vexel illustration. Peep it:



Still pretty rubbish with the pen tool, even after all these years. Obvious weight issues on some lines, but I'm not stressing it. Anyhow, how is everybody?

CBs pretty much dead as you can see.

Your lines are crooked though, esp. on the shoes. I am assuming it's because you are starting and stopping in the wrong places.

That will help you learn where to begin and end so it looks like one cohesive line.

I've actually already read the article. I haven't gotten around to doing the exercise file, though. But, I'll be sure to keep reviewing and practicing. Thanks.
