I’ve had this program for almost a year and have barely touched it. So I decided it’s time I started. 🙂 This is just playing around with tapered brushes and the pen tool. It’s soooo different from using Flash to draw… :sure: ![](http://thumbs.deviantart.com/300W-96A096/large/indyart/anime/Not_A_Morning_Girl.gif) ---

WOAH! That is freakin’ awesome Kit!!! Add some color/shading and that would probably better than your Flash Line Art (if that’s even possible)! ---

do you have a bigger version available? it’s hard to see all the detail in that one, and i want to see all the tapered stuff etc, and also how all the folds look… very cool from what i can see What tool do you use mainly? freehand or the bezier one? it’s really cool… 😛 Stuart ---

Thank you very much, everyone. 🙂 Someone requested a larger version, so here it is full size… ![](http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/anime/Not_A_Morning_Girl.gif) I think it was the Bezier pen… The one where you draw two points then get the little handles to curve it? I used that. 🙂 And the Tapered Round brush, at 10 and 5% thickness. 🙂 And Unflux, it \is\ a girl. I just suck at drawing faces. 😛 ---

thanks for the full version kit, that’s soo cool and it’s _definitely_ a girl (if you know what i mean :thumb: ) sounds like the bezier tool to me, and that makes it even more impressive imo, because i think it’s a hard tool to use well, especially with such flowing curves (no pun intended) did you start from scratch or was there a pencil sketch in there somewhere? anyway, it’s so cool :A+: Stuart ---

God, I couldn’t do that from scratch! I \wish\! Pretty much everything I do is from sketches beforehand that are scanned in and traced. 🙂 Although I’ve got a Wacom at work now, so I can draw straight in. That pen is a bit awkward though… I was trying to join up two lines in a point, and it kept making the whole thing into a ‘U’ shape instead of a ‘V’. 😠 Kept having to make new layers then group it. :sure: Thanks for the comments though, much appreciated. 🙂 ---

That looks absolutely marvelous. Have you used Corel Draw by any chance - cause I was wondering how u find it vs Illustrator… D 😛 [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/attempt-with-illustrator/20725.md?page=2)
