What are your strengths as an illustrator?
Having worked as a freelancer without any affiliation for 13 years, I was able to naturally experience various styles of illustration .

From creating icons using basic shape tools to creating emblems, patterns, characters, and backgrounds one by one , you will naturally become familiar with the pen tool.
