From Drawing to Vector Art in Adobe Illustrator

Do you draw and are you looking to do more with your drawings? Do you want to create marketable digital assets? Are you ready to increase your Illustrator knowledge? Do you want to combine your drawings and your Illustrator skills in new ways?

Great!    Welcome! 

This course is for you. It's a fun and a practical way to learn Illustrator by taking your drawings and turning them into vector art. 

Here you'll "learn by doing" as you convert a basic line drawing into an image suitable to sell as stock. You will see how to take a digitized image into Illustrator as a template and how to vectorize it by drawing the lines using the image as a guide and then colouring it. (NOTE: this class doesn't cover the use of the Image Trace feature - I have another completely different class covering that tool).

You can use the concepts taught in this class to make saleable stock images and clip art from your line drawings in Illustrator.
