Make Watercolor and Marker Style Portraits with Illustrator. With this tutorial, we are going to work through ways of creating digital portrait illustrations that have a unique and somewhat tactile feel of marker and watercolor. This tutorial will focus on using a drawing tablet and Adobe Illustrator.

There will be a focus on technique and technical settings, but the overall product will rely on your own personal style and taste.

Step 2: Import the reference photo Import the photo you will be using as a reference (File > Place). Size it up or down as necessary—try to size it up to the artboard.

Packing for college and don’t know if you’re forgetting something? This is the single most comprehensive dorm packing list that exists. All the other ones neglect something that another listed, but this is a combination of them all. Thousands of students have used this list over the years, but I still caution: You don’t need everything here. Before you pack something, ask yourself if you really need it. This list is not a “buying list.” My recommendation is to copy the list and paste it into Word. Also note to yourself: which items are easier to purchase upon arrival,which items are easy to improvise (after getting take-out or visiting restaurants for a while, you’ll probably have enough napkins or food storage containers),which items are easy to share with or borrow from roommates and floormates (It’s also a good way to meet the ones you haven’t met yet!

Other notes 1. 2. 3. Aaaand on with the list already: Important General Stuff Basic Kitchen Stuff (even if you won’t have a kitchen) Food.
