Tea Illustration Vector Speed Art Wacom Tablet Tutorial CS5

Tea Cup design. Re-uploaded due to audio being taken off -_-

See Final: http://kieranfivestars.daportfolio.com/gallery/618040#9

This shows the outline being drew in Illustrator CS5 and then coloured in Photoshop CS5. Any questions feel free to ask.

Used Illustrator CS5 to draw the vector outlines and then into photoshop to colour. And I used wacom bamboo tablet on iMac. And also used iShowU HD to capture.

do you prefer to draw rather than the pen tool? 

[kieranfivestars]

@bwiddup1 never used the pen tool in illustrator, but yeah I prefer the drawing as the lines vary in thickness due to pen pressure so you get a great effect.

this is great but is there any way you could write out what steps you are taking? i'm really curious about how to freehand outlines that look neat such as this but the tutorial goes too quickly and there is no explanation :(

[kieranfivestars]

@nicoledollanganger Well there are no steps to drawing. I'v done a tutorial saying what setup to use when it comes to brushes and document, so have a look at that and you just draw.

Preferably over a sketch thats low opacity that's how you learn. And use the white arrow tool (the second one) to pull the lines together after being drawn :) The lines are on Illustrator btw. Hope this makes sense lol.
