This was probably the quarter where I had the most fun. We specialized in Adobe Illustrator during it, and I enjoy the program because it has smooth graphics as well as easy to use tool options. We learned many important things, like how use shape builder to create an organic shape, or just use pen tool as a faster way. I learned to make gradients and use the mesh tool to create a sense of shadow, and I learned to used different fonts to design different pieces of artwork. I also worked a little in UVW unwrapping, something I might want to get better at if I ever want to make a videogame. The artworks shown on the showcase page are representations on how I've really grown into Adobe Illustrator. I think the learning of the software has helped me in my digital art journey by giving my helpful tips on how I might want to navigate digital art in the future. For example, If I ever get the urge just to create something, I would most likley use Illustrator. Im not planning to make digital art into the main career in my life, more like a hobby than anything, but if worse comes to worse, I always have this to fall back on. I might even specialize in this art form after I retire from my original career. I have progressed a lot, like the fact that I now know how to better clean up my canvas and not just leave everything as indivdual pieces. I heard that the next quarter is going to be focusing on video, so im pretty excited for that.
