Libby, those are really good. I did not know you were taking a graphic design class. You are learning some really good techniques. And you are right we do not have an art section. I will set one up. We can have as many sections as we want. This software makes set up easy.
The penguin is cute and very expressive and he really does look like a penguin.
I can see why the elephant took so long. That is a very detailed drawing.
So is the whole design class a computer course or are you learning other forms of design. I hope you share other drawings with us.
I will set up a section for art.

Thank you. It's mostly on the computer. All the designs start off on paper but we eventually move to the computer because we are learning how to use the Adobe programs like Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop... I have a few others but they are abstract. It's a really fun class I'm excited to learn about Photoshop. We've been working with Illustrator mostly.
Can we switch this thread over to the art section? I haven't run into that on this forum until now.

There! I have set up the new section and moved the thread. I got to tired to do it the other night. If my description of the section needs work feel free to fix it. I am not feeling too creative tonight.
It sounds like a great class. Learning to use Photoshop and Illustrator and software like that is such a good idea. I wish I was there.
There will be so many things you can do once you know how to use the software. It is a computer world and knowing how to do things on the computer is the way to go.
I hope we get to see more of your work.
Catherine

Photoshop is supposed to be great. I can't wait to hear about what you can do and see examples. I think you will really make good use of it. What a great Christmas gift!
What a nuisance that it takes so much for you to post the pictures. Is illustrator really expensive? I guess the better the software the more you have to pay for it.

Illustrator is about $25 a month but if I were to buy it outright it's over $400 and I'm not about to spend that for a little fun. If I get a job as a graphic designer then I'd think about it.
I have to save it as a PDF in Illustrator and then safe it as a JPEG in Photoshop. For some reason Illustrator wont save files as JPEGs.
