Illustrator

I've finished my flash tutorial and started on illustrator. It's a long one, 13 hours of video. Not the best lecturer in the world, but I think there's a lot to this program so I need to stay focused. I'll do about 4 hours a day, maybe finishing tomorrow. Then I'll start on photoshop.

I bought a couple more artbooks online. One from CLAMP, the guys who did Chobits and xxxHolic. Another from an independent artist called zeiva. Not really sure how to pronounce that, but it's pretty interesting artwork. There are couple step-by-step illustrations in the book, that will hopefully give me some insight into their process.

The video card for my computer is back-ordered, so that wont ship out until Thursday. It was supposed to ship out on Monday, so I called them and asked about it. I wish they had given me some kind of e-mail notification. So I wont get it until next week, which is disappointing. I'm really getting frustrated with this older computer, but I guess it can do as much as I need it to do.

I got another package of books I shipped myself from Korea. This one was quite a bit more banged up than the last one, so I'm worried about the next batch... I'm waiting on 4 more, that will probably come at the end of this month or the middle of next month. I suppose there wasn't a whole lot of uniquely important stuff in my shipments, but still. I'd rather not lose stuff to the bowels of the Atlantic Ocean.
