Pencil Project

       For our pencil project we had to design three separate pencils. The first pencil was simply a practice, the second was a creative version of your own pencil, and the last was something completely your own to make. I chose to design a guitar and microphone, because I can play and I used to sing in talent shows and perform with my step-mom.
       We learned how to use a lot of different tools, and this was my first time using Adobe Illustrator. Here are some of the biggest take aways that I found:

--connecting separate line segments with Command-J

--filling in shapes with the Live Paint Bucket tool

--deleting certain pieces/segments of shapes or lines with the Direct Select tool
