Sketch to Success: Master Hand-Drawn Patterns in Adobe Illustrator - A Graphic Design for Lunch™ Class

Graphic Design for Lunch™ is a series of short video courses you can study in bite size pieces such as at lunchtime. In this course you'll learn to turn simple hand drawn sketches into vector objects in Illustrator and to then make seamless repeating patterns from them. You will learn to vectorize your hand drawn shapes, to color them using the Shape Builder tool, and then create patterns from them. You will also learn how to make drawing templates to help make sure your hand drawn designs will line up nicely as patterns. This class also incorporates some useful techniques using the Recolor Artwork tool for recoloring designs .

The course is taught step by step - I’ll give you all my starter sketches to use - so that, by the end of the class, you will have a range of finished designs ready to use and be ready to draw and work on your own sketches. And, of course, along the way you will have learned handy tips and techniques for working in Illustrator every day.
