I love learning how to use Illustrator again. I used Illustrator a long time ago but put it aside for Photoshop and forgot everything I knew. I am also trying to figure out my artistic style. The one thing I know of certain is that I love linework, hand drawn detail, and layered texture.

When I worked in Photoshop I loved creating digital collage. I also love graphic and bold drawings. I ran across some linocuts and woodcuts in Pinterest the other day so decided to try and figure out techniques for recreating that look using just Illustrator. IT IS VERY HARD.  But I think I’m starting to get there. Sketch of the illustration is shown to the left, created in Procreate.
