What’s the good word, imaginary readers?
I broke out the ol’ vector tools and went to town on this li’l fella for a friend’s new business. I think he sells neck ties or something. I dunno, I didn’t ask.
Is it just me, or does it take everyone twice as long to ink in illustrator?

Mr Josh Latta was born in 1853 to a family of tamed Pleistocenes. he was raised as a small child, entering into adulthood on the eve of his 7th birthday as was the tradition of the day. in 1867 he undertook a course in multi-reptile wrestling ending his career as 'croc-tussler' after an unfortunate shallow-river related accident cut short the life of a young crocodile. moving to rural Sheboigan in the fall of 1872, he made a good living raising fancy roosters and painting murals across the town depicting the various lascivious secrets of the townsfolk. driven out of town in the spring of 1873 he found his way to Utah where he was Flaneur in Residence at the Foundation of Gentlemen and Cultured Guinea Pigs (now the Foundation of Water Fowl and Cultured Guinea Pigs) until a scandal involving twin milkmaids and a churn of cream called for his resignation. Latta entered into the history books in 1899 for his lifesize construction of Monument Valley in matches.

I just finished an online course thing on Illustrator and it did not say crap about inking or making comics. I was like, what else could I want to use this thing for?
Heh, no one ever talks about how to “ink” with illustrator. I was shown by someone at Cartoon Network the preferred method.
The good: Your lines look crisp, clean and great
The bad:
It’s slow and doesn’t feel like drawing in the slightest.
email me and I will walk you through it.
Ill develop my vectors in AI and use photoshop to ink. I do this and use a wacom tablet for the hand held feel.
See. It’s the slow thing that loses me. I really don’t have a lot of use for technology that does not make me faster. I mean, you don’t tell the Bionic Man, “this new leg is going to look great and be really easy to animate in the cartoon but from now on you can only walk really, really slow”.
But, still, I’ll take you up on the walk through whenever I get some time to play with it.
