Basic of Illustrator - Tracing

    
This is my first time using the adobe illustrator. Illustrator is a great tool for a designer, it is a vector graphic editor developed and marketed by the adobe system. It is typically used to create illustrations, charts, graphs, logos, diagrams, cartoons of real photographs, and more.
This time I started with the basic, tracing. This technique is to trace the vector graphic by using the pen tool. Pen tool is a very useful tool in the illustrator, you just need to click a point, and than click another point, then you can make a straight line or a curve line. To complete the process, the last point you click must be also be the first point. By continuing this clicking process, you can trace any vector graphic that you want. The picture above is some tracing exercise that I did. Once you get use of it, it will be a very useful and helpful technique for you.
