I have finally gotten around to start learning either illustrator or A:M. I have been working on my SolidWorks and PhotoWorks and can now start on a new software. The eventual project will likely have to be done in Adobe Illustrator. I need the illustration to have a chalk drawn look. I would rather learn A:M first. Can a still image be saved in a format that can be adjusted in Illustrator? Changing pens and fills? Or can something like this be done in the toon mode in A:M? Thanks David
