Alright, a couple of weeks or so into Illustrator. After feeling good about using the pen tool to draw some shapes, I now used the pathfinder shape to manipulate all of my shapes at the same time. This tool can unite or divide your objects. There are several modes, such as subtract, intersect, overlap, divide, exclude, and more. You can also choose of how your shapes would interact with each other by compound paths or compound shapes. Compound shapes combines many objects and tells how you want your object to interact with the other, while compound path lets you cut a hole in another object. I first founded this while doing my tutorial on making a Hulk Smash tutorial. In order to find the tool, you first go to "Window", then to "Pathfinder". There's no right or wrong on how you make your shapes at all. Your shape results depend on your creativity and method. That's why this is one of my another favorite tool to discuss about.

Okay, after working with Photoshop and barely liking it, we now moved onto a new programming software known as Adobe Illustrator. Now we're dealing with vector images. This time it uses mathematics, which comes in handy and is an easier guide. One tool that we talked about for the first few days was the pen tool. I liked it it because this was our first basic tool. The pen tool can create any shapes or segments, by making anchor points. I felt comfortable using this tool for the first few days because it was easier to create certain amounts of shapes without having any difficulty, for now. We could add or remove our adjustments, make good curves or straights, change path directions, and even more. I might be wrong, because a lot of other people might have not experienced or had learned how to use it yet.

The phone has no home button or finger touch at all. Instead, it includes good and better quality camera, face ID, 3D touch screen, live wallpaper, and a range from 64GB to 256GB. All of this would cost nearly $999, which is pretty much more expensive then any other phones I ever knew. However, it seems like the future isn't far away. I personally enjoy my phone a lot. This beats the speed of my previous ipad Mini Retina Display, which is a little bit older. It was no match for the iphone X, because I got things done faster. The camera's quality this time improved, as well as the screen resolution with great pixels. However, it is still able to break like other phones do. Literally, you'll be crying so bad. Just get a case . It's Apple after all. The new features made things more better for most people, like me. Screw the password login by the way.
The size is good as well. Not too heavy, just medium and perfect weight. Not too thick either. Say goodbye to that old headphone jack that they used to plug in from the old days. I just love everything on the new iphone X. It's expensive, but worth the Future. Summary;

Most of the time when making some parts of a bitmap image, this is the tool I loved to use because it is such a simple tool to use. You can draw your own character or any other object, taking on any pressure and shape. There's no limit of using this tool, unless you still require more art skills on drawing by hand. The options are up to you, changing its preset, opacity, size, hardness, flow, or stroke. For me, using the brush tool is my favorite technique. The results on my creations have good effects, making them real-life realistic looking. Not really, I still need other tools to complete the finishing touches. But still so far, I recommend this great tool to use for bitmap.
