4. At the same site as the one above I read about random little tips that can hopefully make my life easier in illustrator!

What I learned from the site:

• Guide hidden feature

5. For the last tutorial I tried to learn more about the mesh tool because I had never used it before.
So after that tutorial I am defiantly not the master f the mesh tool. But I do know know what it is and have a very rough idea on how to work it.Yay!
