Struggling with Adobe Illustrator

This week I've been experimenting with some digital techniques using Adobe Illustrator.

When I lived in London I took an Illustrator course at Central Saint Martins. Jesus it was difficult! I remember sitting next to a Ukrainian girl who was quite good, asking her about every single step. I'm still a bit confused but it's great fun when you suddenly manage a new way of drawing. When I'm lucky, I also end up with some happy mistakes.

I always like to let the texture of the paper come through in order to create a more tactile feel. Do you have any tricks when it comes to Illustrator?
