Getting Your Self-Drafted Patterns into Illustrator

November 10, 2013

You guys. I just started a post with "you guys" which means either hell has frozen over, or you really blew me away last week with your feedback on the first couple Adobe Illustrator tutorials. But seriously, thank you all so much for your kind words and encouragement. Over the weekend, I created the next tutorial. It shows you how to take hand-drawn, self-drafted patterns and get them all pretty and traced in Illustrator. Several of you complimented me last week on my ability to do a 30-minute tutorial in one take. Well, haha, this week's took me about 16 tries. You all jinxed me! The combination of my computer battery dying, a couple coughing fits, my runny nose and my husband video bombing me caused it to take all kinds of time to get this one done. But it is done. And I hope you like it.

As always, feel free to ask questions in the comments. I upgraded to Disqus this weekend because although I was responding to everyone's comments, I wasn't quite sure if anyone was actually seeing my responses. This should make the whole discussion process a lot better.

Enjoy!

I thrifted this little bowl to hold an air plant. I noticed it has a name etched into the bottom, so I searched it on Facebook. Turns out the maker is a local nursery manager. Would it be so weird if I went there to buy my air plant? And showed him this?
