two doubts about comparative and superlative forms

1i00"She was more ill than yesterday"02i00. or 01i00"She was iller than yesterday"02i00.?02br
00I think the first is correct. I'm I right? Why doesn't ill follow the rules? Is it because you can only use it after a verb like to be?02br
02br
00Another case:02br
02br
01i00"This is the panting I'm most keen on".02i00 or 01i00"This is the painting I'm keenest on"02i00.?02br
00I would say the first sounds better. Is it the correct one? Can anyone give me an explanation?02br
02br
00Thanks in advance.0-
