Live Vector Cartooning & Illustration in Adobe Illustrator
Working on initial vector art in Adobe Illustrator CS5 on a cartoon illustration project. Recorded live broadcast via Ustream.
I discuss (as usual) vector art workflow tips, freelancing and business thoughts and general random nerd stuff.
Download the Adobe Illustrator scripts mentioned by John Beatty in the chat during the video.
Some links to Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, which I also discussed in the video. I get these flareups occasionally when doing extended vector art, and general computer drawing with the stylus in general.
Swabbies
This cartoon octopus character was created for a client developing a new baby product to help with diaper rash.
Believe it or not, I had not drawn a cartoon octopus until this project, so I was looking forward to it. I will say that I underestimated the amount of work all those tentacles and suckers were.
