Symmetry: symmetry is something that doesn't really attract me. I appreciate symmetrical figures, however the preciseness that comes with these figures is not as interesting to me as an asymmetrical figure- so these were the hardest for me to draw. I ended up deciding to go with a figure that wasn't 100% symmetrical but- it has a very close likeness on both sides. A great example of symmetry that I was drawn to is da Vinci's Symmetry of Man because if you notice the left foot of the man is opened to his left. This slight variation helped me see that symmetry isn't always exactly symmetrical.

Asymmetry: this was my favorite piece that I've done so far in Adobe although it did take me a while to get the work out the way I wanted originally pictured it.
Radial: I am having a very tough time making my radial the way I wanted it. I 've made my original drawing on Adobe, and have had to spend a lot of time forming small individual lines on the outside of the piece and going back through and tying each piece together. This is my most frustrating piece to date, but I think that one I really finish it- that I will be content with the over all piece.
Below is a link I found online for an example of Radial. It is an optical illusion . What really interested me about it is that fact the the yellow rings appear to fade into the blue, although there is no fading effect on the piece itself.
