hala_kahiki- Thanks!

I have worked as a graphic designer in multimedia and marketing dept., but now my "desk job" is Art Director/Content Director for a global media company. After directing, reviewing, & critiquing the work of many artists and photographers, I decided to try my hand at illustrating!
My focus in school was commercial art/graphic design, and I took several computer graphics(Macintosh) classes which really got me hooked on illustrating digitally.
Adobe Illustrator is a great drawing program. The pen tool is what I use the most- I use it to draw out all the shapes and then fill in with color. It's takes a while to get the hang of the tool- but once you do, you'll love it!

Oh wow, Art Director! that's awesome!
If I get into the graphic design program at school, I'll be taking all those courses! The pen tool definately takes a while to get the hang of haha..I'm still confused by it a lot.
