This sillouette of a racecar was done on Illustrator with just the shape tool and other basic drawing tools.  I'm slowly starting to understand the node tools and the other essential Adobe Illustrator resources.  It fun so far and a lot of work but I hope to be doing more ornate drawing soon.  I also made some business cards with gradients today on CS3. It is a little wierd working with the older version of Illustrator, but I struggled through it.
