his is where you find out about the basic core of drawing and coloring inside Illustrator. Remember your first coloring book and that crazy huge box of 64 crayons your Aunt Shari got you for your first birthday? Remember the waxy taste of those crayons and the frustration you had at not knowing what Burnt Umber was? And remember the excitement when you first put crayon to paper and saw the great artist that you would one day be? Okay, you probably don’t remember any of that. But you were probably just as excited as you are now, with the entire world of shapes and colors opened up to you. This time around, it’s in digital form and tastes better (even if the color names are just as strange).
