I'm going to talk about how I use these tools in upcoming lessons, and I'm a big fan of Adobe Illustrator. And once again, this is simply a workflow demonstration. I'll grab my trusty Pen tool, I'll make sure I get rid of the color here, and I'm going to start to drag out this shape. So I'm gonna lock the pumpkin layer, I'll lock the stalk layer, and I will lock the effects layer, and to go the mask layer. Now, the first thing I'm going to trace is the mask. And let's see, the pumpkin stalk will go in front of the pumpkin. For example, the mask is in front of everything, so I'll click and drag that to the top, and effects will go on top of the mask. Now what I can to is start to rearrange my layers so that they're in the order that I want them to be in. And I'll make one for any effects if I'm going to add special effects, such as a glow or anything like that.
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR TUTORIAL SKIN
I'll make one for the pumpkin skin itself. I'll make a new one for this little mask in front. So the first thing I'm going to do is create a layer for the pumpkin stalk. Now I'm going to zoom in, and I'm going to create my layers. And then I'm going to click Template to lock this layer, and click OK. So I'm going to double click where it says Layer 1, and I'm going rename this template. Now the most important thing to me when I'm working is organization. I'm gonna bring that into Illustrator, and I'll put it into position.

So I'm going to go to File, Place, and on my desktop I have this artwork. And I'm going to bring in a sketch of pumpkin that I designed for a client's album cover. 00:00:02,001 -> 00:00:10,000Ok folks, what I'm going to do here is pretty much show you how I would work in Illustrator with a sketch.
