If you are learning Adobe Illustrator I would highly recommend using the lynda.com website to learn. Videos are step by step and if you follow along with your own project you figure it out in no time. I've been playing with using it since I'm more of a computer person than a pen and paper person. I know there are those of you out there shuddering at that statement but I'm younger and grew up with computers, I'm good with them. I am also practicing my drawing so I know what the rules are when creating a design.
Anyway, I love using the layers feature to layout backbones and general ideas. I've only been playing with it one evening but this is what I was able to do.
This is a cheap knife I'm using to practice start to finish design and engraving with. I don't think I'd ever use Adobe for something this simple but it made a great learning piece with its curves and lines.
I just threw the monogram in there to see what it looked like. I know it's screwy.
