Subtitles of the Movie

Even though when you're using Adobe Illustrator you won't be working in a painterly fashion as you would in Corel Painter or in Photoshop, there are some peripheral devices that could still make working with the application a little bit more easy I would think. So what I'm going to suggest to you are some of the tools that I use in my studio when I'm using Adobe Illustrator to create artwork. For one, I use this Expert Mouse here which is from a company called Kensington. And you can find this Expert Mouse pretty much at any computer store. It's a really nice track ball. I prefer a track ball because the mouse remains stationary, and you simply navigate or move around with track ball, and you click to make your selections. So I prefer to use this instead of a regular mouse where I have to move the mouse all around the world, which I don't really like too much. I also use a Wacom tablet, and the one I have here is the Intuos. Let me go ahead and click on this guy here. And the Intuos is a really nice Wacom tablet. Of course you can use the other ones as well. Any one is fine. Pretty much the way this works is you're able to click and drag more, I think, efficiently and a lot less strain is put on your wrist when you use something like this. And I use this quite a bit when I'm in Illustrator as well. I work much more quickly actually with a Wacom tablet as opposed to the track ball. I also recommend a scanner. Scanners are very inexpensive these days. I have a Canon scanner, which cost me just under $100, and it's really great when you want to bring in your pencil sketches or your inked artwork into Photoshop so you can then use that artwork in Illustrator. And definitely check out the lessons I have on scanning in this tutorial. You might also want to get a digital camera. Any digital camera that will be able to interface with your computer will allow you to bring in reference images, pictures of people, friends, trees, dogs, anything that you can trace over in Illustrator to then turn into a cartoon or any other vector artwork. So peripheral devices can really help your workflow in Adobe Illustrator as well as other applications in a wide variety of ways. So definitely check your computer store, and uh, ask around to find out about some of the other devices you can use to help make your illustrative work go by much more smoothly, and well actually with a lot more fun.
