Mockup Help! Needing Box Template Too!

[Soundwaveatron]

I See Some People Use The Computer To Make Mockups and Pre-Draws Of There Muggs, But Also Some People Draw them. Which One Do You Use And Which Is More Affective? Also Does Anyone Have Like a Blank Box Template? That Would Really Help! Thanks!

it really depends on what you prefer.

I like designing mine on the computer, bc I use a computer all day anyways and I'm very familiar with Illustrator.

Well I draw it most of the time because that way i can know whether or not i will be able to paint it by hand. It like: Whatever I can draw I should be able to paint. But I want to do it on the computer too, that way I can use those mockups for the boxes and stuff. but i need a box template too. um.. irulan? how do you use illustrator?

[chard5000]

Sometimes I draw, sometimes I go digital, and sometimes I draw then trace it digitally.

the best way to learn how to use illustrator is tutorials. do you already own illustrator? if you don't it may not be the best thing for you to use. It's kind of hard to just dive into.
