Astute Graphics DynamicSketch vs Illustrator Pen Tool

I have been using Adobe Illustrator's pen tool for over 20 years and I can't believe that I have never tried Astute Graphics dynamic sketch until now. So here's an illustration that I worked on. You can see the same tracing workflow. You can already see that after around half an hour I am getting way ahead in the workflow. I'm already working on the second character. While below with the pen tool, I am still finishing off details on the vampire character on the right. And it's not only the speed, it's also just the general feel of working with the tool. It feels so much more natural and organic. Really feels like drawing. Even if you don't have a stylus and the tablet using the mouse, it still feels more natural and intuitive. And it is very impressive. For just a single illustration, which took me around an hour and a half, I managed to save around half an hour of work. But not only that, I also have less parts and points created when I use the Astute Graphics dynamic sketch tool. So you can work faster, have a smaller file size, and have more fun along the way. Stay tuned if you're interested to learn more about this plug-in, as we will be soon releasing a fulllength in-depth video about this.
