Weekly Report 9/16 - Adobe Illustrator

This is the weekly report, here ill leave little post-its and bits of information about my learning experience through the course of animation class and post anything else that's relevant.

What I've learned: The very basics of the Adobe Illustrator software, how to operation a scanner, and how to use a drawing tablet. Im like a friggin learnin machine, man.

What I want to learn: How to animate my character (in the most painless way possible). And how to crank up the mouse sensitivity on a mac computer, its like i have to move my mouse more than an inch to get all the way across the screen!

Aggravations: Having to redrawn your entire picture because you used the wrong drawing tool to trace it so you can fill it with color (sorry Enya!) and taking 45 minutes to draw your character in a simple fighting pose because you have know idea how to draw the exact positioning of the legs and having to erase it several times and having the erasing shavings get all over your bed so now you have to google how to draw fight poses and learn how to draw the right pose you want but they dont have the tutorial for the pose you want so you just say f it and move on with your life and take 2 hours drawing other poses for your character.

Alleviations: Playing my ukulele. Don't judge me.
