What You Will Learn?

  • Want to vectorize a sketch on Adobe Illustrator? Not a fan of the pen tool?Turn your drawings into vectors with the Pencil tool, an intuitive tool that helps us to get nice and smooth vector lines, like if we were drawing on paper. If you love drawing with a graphic tablet, this is for you!In this class, we're going to learn quickly how we can create vector art: simple shapes, the pen tool and the pencil tool. Then, we practise what we learned and start tracing a drawing and create a full vector illustration..
  • At the end, we are going to compare the vector result with another raster version I've coloured previously on Photoshop and see which are the potentials of each one. .
