Idiot Gator Struggles in Illustrator

Here's a drawin' of Idiot! The brilliant scientist gator of Guadalajara.
I've been teaching myself illustrator...and with a touch of help from Ryan Kramer.
Here's a little sketch I fooled around with...and didn't get caught!



the program is a real bitch. can't wrap my mind around some of its work flow and tools. AND gradients....don't get me started on gradients!
I hear CS3 is pretty nice overall though. but discussing the beauty and functionality of the CS3 suite is for another day.
Well, enjoy this idiot and have a great one.

with love,
-katz

nice man! yea, gradients in illustrator are a bitch and a half...but after u make a nice one, its smart to save it so u can build a nice custom library.

Hey katz.. Illustrator will be your friend soon.. its great for outlines. CS3 is great btw.. better for coloring though.

kramer: thanks for the tip buddy. i'll do anything to make stuff easier in the future.

ryan g: yeah. I've seen some really nice stuff done with Illustrator. I just have to take the time to better understand it. It's not as intuitive as other work flows, but then again most things are unintuitive at first.
