I feel like ive became quite familiar with illustraor. im much more comfortable with the pen tool now. so i would like to acquire more photoshop skills. i went and looked for just any photoshop tutorials. i came across how to make a glossy button. i tried it, but the instructions werent really cclear, so i decided to try a new one. a water ripple effect caught my attention. it was fairly easy. the most challenging part was probably choosing the color tint for the reflection.

Yesterday, I continued working with my initials. I didnt do much with them, but I converted them into something like a logo. I filled them a black and white gradient. I also made some lines to look like a upside pyramid. And then put everythig inside an oval. Pretty simple but I like the color

so ive been working on the same design i drew out, and i am actually happy on the result. i still havent done much with it besides making copies of it and messing around with them. i got rid of the stroke and added some gradients to it. it looks cool because since the gradient is black to white and there is no stroke, it looks like the picture is fading into the white background. there are picturtes of a single logo and one of a bunch of them put together

yesterday I was feeling a little creative, so I started drawing my name in a kind of tribal design. very geometric. I wouldnt know how to describe it, but it is not legible at first look. my name is in the design twice. I also quickly sketched  my initials. I think it looks cool because it looks the same if you flib it180 degrees. I am going to try to reproduce these and color them and maybe add backgrounds or place them somewhere on illustrator

Yesterday for some reason I was really craving strawberry ice cream, so I just went ahead and created an ice cream cone with the pen tool. i experimented a bit with the effects to add to the cone. I ended up using a patchwork effect to give it the waffle cone texture. i didnt like that the effect was also aplied to the stroke, so it looks pixelated along the edges. I also looked for effects for ice cream texture but none worked, so I tried using a picture of real ice cream and placing it under, but that didnt really work for me eiher. The straw was just a really random thing that I threw on there.
