This was done in Adobe Illustrator. The outlines are a 2 point pressure brush. I drew the lines on a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet.
Vandelay Design has a great post on the top 10 tutorial sites for Adobe Illustrator. This is a great resource. Too often, most of the tutorials focus on Photoshop. Adobe Illustrator definitely has advantages for graphics, illustration and cartooning.
Layers Magazine’s web site has a great tutorial by Bert Monroy. He shows how you can use the warp tool in Adobe Illustrator to get realistic effects such as the wire mesh in this trash can illustration.
The nice thing about using the tool in Illustrator is you have greater control in the mesh grid and you can make the mesh looked banged up. I’m try this one out.
