Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Hey, I would really like to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator. I have a Wacom tablet, and Illustrator 10 at my disposal. Basically I'd just like to be able to sit down and draw like I would with a pen and paper. Is this possible? What tool should I use? When I use the pencil tool and sketch, it tries to morph my shapes together and it's just not good. I haven't really found any web tutorials that have been very helpful for me, so I thought I'd just come out and ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 It should be possible. Try looking up tutorials for how to use the tablet or getting one of the Illustrator project guide books. I remember seeing many people using the tablets and Illustrator in my college's computer art lab and being jealous of all the fun they looked like they were having.

Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted April 28, 2004 I just looked at Wacom's website and found the settings you need to uncheck to allow you to just draw in illustrator without it trying to join lines and shapes together. Sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted May 3, 2004 I often draw and then scan. I just like to play around sometimes and experiment with different ways of drawing stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
