First illustrator drawing project

Project Description: For this project we were learning how to use basic tools in illustrator by making the above drawings.  This is was very new since all we had been working on was photoshop, where everything is in pixels.  

New skills/processes/tools learned: we used shape tools on the side to make each of the basic shapes you see, such as the diamond, pentagon, rectangle, triangle, oval, star, and square.  We used a process where we pasted the non basic shapes onto the blank sheet, and then traced over them with a pen tool, which was much easier than just drawing them by memory.

shape tools:rectangle tool, square tool, star tool,

drawing tools: pen and pencil tool

self reflection:The shape tools like the rectangle tool were very user friendly and were easy for me to use as soon as i knew where they were on the tool bar.  The pen tool on the other hand, took some time to get used to, but most of the shapes came out well.  I am especially proud of my bunny rabbit!  I wish my heart came out nicer but i could NOT get that one edge to be rounded out!
