Illustrator: The Pen Tool

Today we had our Illustrator induction and had a go at the pen tool. The image above was a pen tool exercise that the class did and i think i fared quite well, i even helped out another student. The pen tool seems useful for work with logos however i'm not sure i will be using it much in regards to my animation. Perhaps this will change the more i get used to illustrator.

  Later in the session we experimented with different line effects, this was fun but it also felt extremely gimmicky rather than serious tool for creating logo purposes.
