I also quickly found out that rendering 3D effects takes some serious processing power! I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and it did okay, but if I ever become serious about working in this style, I will definitely need to upgrade my machine. This probably means I should find tutorials on creating repeating patterns and making swatches and symbols.

It was fun to realize I knew how to do some of the steps without needing the tutorial to guide me! However, I found when trying to create a symbol of my own to replicate for a blog image, it just wasn't happening. I'm really excited to be getting more familiar with some of the tools, such as the pen tool, after just a week and a half of this challenge. To use it, select the image you want to rotate, and choose effect > 3D > rotate. Provide finishing touches to your design with appropriate Lighting and Shadow effects and then render your artwork with ease. I've learned to scan for what types of resources I'll need to take care of any necessary searches and downloads before I start a tutorial. This effect allows you to rotate your images in three dimensions: x, y, and z. Get started by drawing your favorite art on paper, trace it into Illustrator, apply 3D effects like Extrude, Rotation, and Substance Materials. (Today it was because I had a stroke on my original ellipse - oops!) I'd still like to see links to resources in the video description, but I've noticed that this is a common missing component in most tutorials. I like his calm and patient presentation style, especially since I'm usually frantically trying to figure out what's gone wrong when my project doesn't look like the one in the video. This is the second tutorial from Dansky that I've done.
