Bringing the effects into play!

During CAD lessons I learnt how to use many effects, ways of editing pictures and changing colours etc... 

In my second session I learnt how to use the tools to create different strokes, widths, brushes and learning how to use the colour tools.

I found most of these exercises quite simple because it was just a process of selecting the lines/sections I wanted to change and messing with the tool boxes and options.

I think the part I found the hardest was when I had to choose which fancy affect I wanted, there is so many you can choose from! 

This was my starting point, I drew around an image on Illustrator.
I edited the stroke widths and colours of the lines.

I began playing around with brush strokes and different brushes.

This is just a different affect and colour used on the head.

This is my final image, I chose to change the skirt and head.
I used the affect I used on the skirt in earlier images to create the woman's body.

Do you know how to create effects on Illustrator and Photoshop (CAD?) 

What do you think?
