There are some stuff I didn't really undestand. First, hey, I'm new to DA, and my name is Ellie.
Anyway, I had some trouble with changing the colors in the gradient, and since I come from a photoshop background (with which I've been working with for over 8 years), most of the shapes and forms you talk about, I'm not quite sure how to make. Take the eye form. How the hell do I create that thing?! For the sake of learning the technique I copied yours, but is there anyway I could learn how to do that without a trace image?
I mostly did trace image work, and I'm not sure how to do that in Illustrator (CS2). Do you have any pointers for me?
In any case, thanks for the great tutorial. I might not have understood everything, but I did learn a few things. Thanks.
