About This 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 set up a document so you can do mirror drawing in real time in Illustrator. You will make a document and then see how to draw a symmetrical skull which requires no individual reflection of shapes to create.

Meet Your Teacher
Helen teaches the popular Graphic Design for Lunch™ courses which focus on teaching Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe® Illustrator®, Procreate®, and other graphic design and photo editing applications. Each course is short enough to take over a lunch break and is packed with useful and fun techniques. Class projects reinforce what is taught so they too can be easily completed over a lunch hour or two.

Your project for this class is to set up a document for mirror drawing and to draw a skull or another object using the real time mirror set up you have created. Post a picture of your art as your completed project.
