Second Acrobaleno

Here's Skull, the second Acrobaleno. The outline still bothers me though. Really need to figure out what's the best way to do outline in Illustrator.

First Attempt at Illustrator CS4

I kind of see how Illustrator works now. But I still need to figure out how to control the strokes better...Sometimes it just smooths way too much. And when I erase certain parts of a line, it some how erases more than I want or it automatically makes my line thinner. But here's the colored version of Colonello, which after all other Acrobalenos, I will put it into my Tsuna background picture. it'll be a big project because just outlining and coloring took pretty much all day today. I need to do this more often to get efficient at it.
