What You Will Learn?

  • Join DKNG design and illustration duo Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman for a 45-minute class revealing the Adobe Illustrator tricks of the trade they employ to create unique styles, easily editable, non-destructive elements, and develop a fast and efficient workflow!.
  • In this class you’ll get a peek behind the curtain to see how DKNG works inside their actual project files. Whether you work with clients or develop your own work, or like us do a combo of the two, it’s so much faster and easier to work with live, easily editable files since you never know what curveballs a client might throw your way, or what changes you might want to make as you near the end of a project. .
  • We’ll take a step-by-step look at some of the newest features in Adobe Illustrator, and the tools we use most often to create our signature styles. .
  • A basic understanding of Adobe Illustrator is recommended, but not required. Checking out our previous Skillshare Illustrator classes is a good primer before jumping into this latest class. .
  • The skills used in this class can be applied to a wide variety of projects - some techniques are used to achieve specific looks and styles, while others have more to do with workflow and efficiency. Because each lesson deals with a standalone tool/topic, you can easily come back to revisit specific techniques as you find the need for them in your own workflow. .
