My pal Mud often gets sassy with Illustrator (see his goodess at helloideamonster.com) --whilst I still draw in the slightly-less-sassy Flash & Photoshop. Apparently I need to get with it. So I'm gonna try & learn by copying his adorable Baby Darth artwork. Get excited.

Here's the artwork I'll be copying to get me learnin' done:

Just watched the first few videos. Happy to see a lot of the hot keys are the same as Photoshop. Here's where I'm at thus far. I have to admit, I went a little quick & dirty... but let's be honest, that's how I do everything. 

Well, that didn't take long. Now to add all the fun stuff & gradients & such!

But I'm gonna watch the next video first in case it has magic spells I could be using...
