Complete the skills review and post your finished image on your blog.

Friday, September 4, 2009 - Work with Vector Tools

Introduced vector images and tools. As a class, we created a fish in a new document. We used the grid option to provide guidelines while using the pen tool. The pen tool was utilized to display the curve point handles to change the shape of the top and bottom of our fish. The subselection tool allowed us to modify the eye which we first created using the ellipse tool.

Create your own simple vector image of an animal of your choice. Post both the image and detailed description of how you created the image include what tools you used.
