In this class, you’ll learn how to create a cohesive set of illustrations using Adobe Illustrator! By the end of the class, you’ll have a set of at least 3 illustrations perfect for a social media campaign, building up your portfolio or to pass on for animation. Building out your illustrations in Adobe Illustrator creates illustrations that are vector-based, therefore infinitely scalable- meaning a postage stamp or a 42 sheet billboard is achievable from just one illustration!
Follow along with me to:
- Research and develop limitations to come up with a concept (using a brief..or not!)
- Sketch out cohesive illustrations using these limitations
- Build, layer, and colour step-by-step in Adobe Illustrator
- Export your illustrations as .png or .jpeg
This class is perfect for anyone with an interest in building vector-based graphics with Illustrator! It has been designed from my own perspective so is particularly helpful for illustrators who want to learn how to build out illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. Character designers too – animators will love you for the crazy good layering techniques I use in this class!
You don’t need any prior knowledge of Adobe Illustrator as I’ll explain everything step-by-step; from how to set up your Illustrator workspace for easy workflow; to all my favourite little tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years. I’ve been building in Illustrator since I first started designing for animations, so I’ve designed the course with all my best habits and workflows that I’ve picked up to reach a file that is perfect to send to animators!
