So Illustrator is SO MUCH BETTER than Photoshop. I mean look how smooth the lines are and whilst I'm all up for hand drawing my animations and I really enjoy drawing on the tablets and on paper, there's just some stuff where Photoshop just isn't going to cut it.
Despite me preaching that it's great and all I did find the programme a little confusing. To try get used to the controls a bit and get to grips with how to work the pen tool properly we were given a task sheet from which we had to follow the instructions in order to "trace" the image underneath.
I found the tasks really easy to complete, yet I'm not actually too sure what I've done or what the controls do but I think with practice it'll become easier.
In the second part of the induction we looked at how to use the varying stroke settings and brush tools. Whilst I really like the effect that some of the brush strokes created and how I could manipulate the spacing and dashing between the strokes, I still felt like I had little control over the style of the brush designs, meaning it wouldn't be original or unique. For this reason I prefer Photoshop for brushes and stroke styles.
