Beginners Welcome—No Drawing Skills Required!

Illustrator is one of those apps that you know you should learn (or learn better), but it's so easy to get frustrated and walk away, promising yourself that you'll "figure it out later." (I've been there, done that.)

The key is understanding that creating in Illustrator is more about *building* graphics than *drawing* them. Because of that, we'll start what that means and how it works. And before you know it, you’ll have created a custom brush, discovered Illustrator’s incredible tools for experimenting with color, and learned a fool-proof (100% painless!) technique for working with—the Pen tool. (Yes, it's true!)

By the end, in addition to your completed illustration, you’ll have a solid understanding of the basics of Illustrator and an awareness of features and power tips that some who’ve been using Illustrator for years still don’t even know about!

Everything you need to complete the course is included, along with a guide to the most frequently used keyboard shortcuts (and some tricks for remembering them). There’s even progressive versions of the project file—so you can jump in anywhere along the way and hit the ground running.

Download the course files and let's get started!
