First I must say that this was one of the most intense art projects I've ever done. And I'm sorry to say I do not have a back cover because I ran out of time to make one but I do have 9 pages and a cover pages so that should count for something. Anyways the tools and skills that I've learned from this intense experience is now the lasso tool is my best friend. With all the crazy coloring the lasso tool helps me stay within the lines. I use that tool the most. I also learned how to create anchor points and stroke a path using the pen tool combined with the brush tool to make my line art for this book. That was pretty time consuming. Some pages took me hours to do and I was only lining them. But the pen tool, brush tool and lasso tool are the tools I used for this project and I'm now very well aquatinted with them.
About being on a production line, I definitely learned that I need to time myself better. I ran out of time on this and was pulling all nighters which was very bad for me. But I know now that I need to have a better schedule and sit down and just do it for a couple hours, take a break, then come back, because staring at a computer screen for 24 hours straight isn't good on the eyes or neck. I will definitely improve in the future.
I'm not quite sure what I plan to do with my book right now. I might come back to it and fine tune the coloring or maybe color ti in a different way with skills that I might acquire in the future. For now it shall sit on this blog and on my computer. I don't plan to print it since I don't think it's really worth it. I didn't spend the amount of time I wanted to on it so I'm not perfectly pleased with it but I'm still pleased I got out what I got and it still looks quite decent. Maybe when I print it it might become the next children's favorite, but until then I shall think of better ways to revise it.
