À propos de ce cours
Join me on this fun, beginner-friendly, short character design course in how to create a flat-art style puppy in Adobe Illustrator!
No drawing skills are needed!
In my usual hands-on style, you’ll follow a step-by-step process to design a charming puppy illustration using basic shapes, color blocking, and simple vector techniques.
Hi, I'm Tim!
I’m an Adobe Certified Instructor and Expert, as well as a designer based in London.
What you’ll learn:
- How to set up an Illustrator artboard
- How to draw with circles, rectangles and triangles
- How to use the Shape Builder tool
- How to change the stacking order of objects
- How to color and export your final design
All lessons are delivered in short, clear videos with a hands-on project.
There are no resource files for this course.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid grasp of creating simple characters from Illustrator's basic shape tools. You'll be able to manipulate simple shapes by subtracting one from the other as well as round the corners using the little corner widget on the shape. You will change the stacking order of objects and look at using a opacity to create simple 2D shadows.
Don’t forget to share your work—I love seeing what you create!

Projet de cours pratique
Project: Variation on Dog
For this project, I'd like you to create another variation of a dog. Use different shapes for the ears and head and if you wish you can even add in other details, with simple shapes. I've used a circle for the head and rounded triangles for the ears. I also used triangles for the teeth and lots of little ellipses that I copied by holding down Alt / Option and dragging them to make its freckles.
You can see my final result above. I have also shown my artwork in wire form (below) so you can see all the shapes without the color getting in the way.
If you wish to see this on your artwork, go to the View menu > Outline Mode.
When you want to get back to the full color version to you can go back to the View menu > Preview Mode.
Don't forget to share your finished artwork in the Projects section - I love to see your work!
