there I some pieces of work that I look at and just 'know' that it has been done in FreeHand... freehand got soul!
- reaction0
such as? samples please...

FreeHand for me all the way. Only* because it was the first piece of software i used on a Macintosh computer.
-*It is the best though!

I really dont have the time or inclination to 'argue' with people who insist on attempting to sell me illustrator, I appreciate your choice and its benefits and certain superiorities.
I still prefer FreeHand, it seems to me more intuitive and organic, it seems to suit my happy randomness, it loves chaos.
- rasko40
typical freehand randomness (old):

rasko4, i am not here to argue, but just trying to understand your point of view. I've seen your work you posted and I guess the chaos and distortion is easier in Freehand.
I am not selling illustrator here, I am working with it already for 9/10 years. But I am gonna try and learn Freehand, to experience what differences it makes in feel, workflow etc.
- rasko40
I know I wasn't really referring to you, just past experience, funnily enough, I posted a thread earlier wanting to know a good advanced Illustrator book, so I think we both appreciate the strengths/weaknesses of each app :)

good illustrator book? Better get yourself a virtual training class like VTC, Lynda or Total Training... works. And Freehand? What are the best resources?
- rasko40
not too sure what to suggest as I'm self taught, maybe this place could shed some light:

Its not about the software or the computer, It is about the work you produce. It also doesnt matter how many people go for a job, if you are right then its yours.
The glass is always half full.

i've been trying Freehand for a while and i was able to create considerably different effects/styles then i did in Illy just because that was easier to do in Freehand.
I really liked how you could sort of numerically work with patterns, sizes, randomness etc.
- rasko40
well I find that software affects the work I produce, I mean, have you ever tried to produce something on a f*cking atari?!
- DutchBoy0
..yes, and try to make a bloody 2A ripoff with MS Paint! Bloody 'arrrd, i tell ya, mate!!
*spits
- rasko40

- DutchBoy0
