Current progress on the Visual Narrative project is just the title page so far. I’m struggling to work with my usual style with just the Pen Tool. I understand the project is to get use familiar with it, and I already am for the most part. Comic artists don’t generally make their work in Illustrator.
I find it a little ironic that I want to be an Illustrator, but the program Illustrator is seriously the last program I’d ever use for my work.
This seems opportunity to develop new style, annex a different approach to your established digital or analog approaches, even if you seldom return to Ai for this purpose, youll be better equipped to problem solve in other software- -where vector tools are often lurking, underused because not understood. New tools bring new mental model, and are difficult to adapt to.your exsting skill as illustrator permits lots of elasticity in how you might experiment with these new tools.im happy to discuss ideas in class
