Home-Schooled

So in the business of licensing art, it turns out sketches just don't cut it with a lot of manufacturers.  I mean, it's practically 2013.  Folks expect a certain type of professionalism.

Terms like mock-ups, prototypes, vector files, rasterize . . . they're being bounced around more and more the deeper I get into this whole licensing arena.  I tried to stick to free hand and a stylus.  Photoshop just puzzles me.  Layers alone confuse me to no end.

Too bad so sad.  The day has come.  I must learn the basics of AI (Illustrator).  Aaargh!

I just completed my first tutorial:


Isn't it exciting?! . . . NOT.

Sorry.  Another frustration is everything Doodle Divas has to be kept under wraps.  But I'm going to keep at it and update some Doodle Divas images.  

Stay tuned for before and after images.  Meanwhile, this student is taking a break!
