Eel Girl

Remember yesterday when I wrote that panicked journal entry stating I was gonna slash my wrists with a rusted can if I couldn't figure out Illustrator?! Behold my first creation in Adobe Illustrator!!!

Here is the result of listening to 3 days of tutorials. It took me about 31/2 hrs when it would have taken me 1 in Photoshop.

But I stuck with it, Dammit!

There are still things I don't understand. Can you not add gradients to stokes? What about gradual masks that are gradients? I'm still working on it!!
