Illustration Friday - Similar

It's funny how siblings can be so similar in some ways, yet so different in others.

Balloon Part 2

This one I did in Photoshop. I like it better than the previous illustration, but it's still pretty terrible. I hope I'm more inspired by next week's topic!

Illustration Friday - Balloon

This illustration is just terrible, another attempt at using Illustrator. I did practice with the Pathfinder tool to try cutting out "shadow" shapes at first, but then decided on using the gradient for a softer look. I hate the gradient tool in Illustrator, it's so non-intuitive. It's hard to get the color into the gradient palette, I end up clicking all over the place trying to figure it out, and waste a lot of time that way.



This was done for Illustration Friday, but I'm so horrified by it that I'm not even going to post it.
