I went for the first lesson of 'Adobe Illustrator for Beginners'. I am very excited as this is the first time I am learning how to use Adobe Illustrator.  |

The trainer started off with introducing the various tools of Adobe Illustrator. The first thing that we are taught in the workshop is how to use the pen tool. We have to trace out the outline of the apple as shown above and the outcome is as follow.

Lesson 1: Tracing Out the Apple |
After getting the outline of the apple, we learn how to insert colour to the shape and experiment with the gradient. We play around with the colours, angles and types of the gradient. There are 2 different types of gradient namely linear and radial. The following picture is the outcome of linear gradient at a random angel.

| Lesson 2: Experimenting with Gradient |
After we have a rough idea in using the pen tool, we moved on by separating the shape into different parts by adding more curves to complete the different path lines. Instead of having the outline of an apple, we now have the outline of the apple itself, the stem and the leaves.

| Lesson 3: Completing Different Path Lines to Create Distinct Parts of the Apple |
We end up by adding colours to the different parts of the apple. In a two hours workshop, I am satisfied with the outcome of my work.
