Making Cards, and holeyyy tutuorialss!





Ok well school since 8 get out at 5. run to art media get a ton of diffrent papers, and its time to experiment! after a lot of paper jams, and a few more quick dashes to art media i compleated my five cards. ill take pictures of 2 cuz even though i used 4 types of paper. i think these are the two most succesful, and pretty interesting.   

one is a wild like thin mixed paper deal, with some wird like gold blotches on it, the 
other is a matt heavyer toothed paper. its not white kinda off whiteish.

Next is my tutorials, and wow i spent really long on them.
The first one im not going to post a pic because it was worthless. it was a pen tool exercise. i was looking for like an advanced pen tool exercise, instead i found this one!

 and here is my final product

I am not sure when i am going to have to make a box like this however!
I learned so much from this tutorial it was wild! it took about an hour and a half.
but i learned about how to mess with layers way more! gradients, and grouping, ungrouping the list goes on. How to make masks, what these masks do. There is so much to this box i didn't even think it was going to be this intense. 
I will probably have to look over it again and again because there was sooo much information.
but this was the best one i have done yet! it was really fun. and my final product pretty much is a exact replica of the guy on tutvids.com. mine is the one in this post.
I strongly recommend people to do this one because everything u learn in the process can help u out way more just with basic illustrator things. i wish i could do my geoff mcfetridge card after watching this vid just because the stuff i learned about layers and shadows and stuff.
wooo.
