Learning Vector Illustration with Adobe Illustrator: ...through videos, projects, and more

Description

When you begin using vector illustration software it can be confusing and frustrating to even work out how to make a mark on the page - but this new hybrid approach to learning integrates tutorial videos and step-by-step projects to help you becoming confident in no time. Starting with first principles, this book introduces you to all the important tools and processes - from the basics of Bezier curves to applying meshes - so you can quickly and efficiently create your own designs. As you learn each skill there are projects for you to try out, and by the end of the book you'll build up to a major design project to put all your new abilities into practice.
