Learn the basics of digital illustration with Adobe Illustrator
For Aarón Martínez, illustrator and designer specialized in character creation, simplicity is not the enemy of personality. In fact, his portfolio is overflowing with amazing projects that prove it. Using basic shapes, meticulous line work and fun color schemes, he's developed a personal style that has won over big-name brands like Apple, Domino's Pizza, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, and many more.
While he focused on the three-dimensional universe in his previous courses, 3D illustration with Cinema 4D and Design of Characters in Cinema 4D: from the Sketch to 3D Printing, in this one, he teaches you the basics of vector illustration and how to master the tools in Adobe Illustrator to create stunning illustrations.

Me ha gustado muchísimo el curso :) tengo cero conocimiento de Illustrator y lo que llevo del curso me ha gustado mucho la forma de enseñar de Aaron. Para alguien que está recién aprendiendo como yo lo recomiendo 100% :D

Comencé esté curso sin saber absolutamente nada y ahora no me la creo todo lo que puedo llegar a hacer. Me siento como cuando era niño e hice mis primeros trazos con lapiz y una hoja en blanco, no sabia como hacerlo, pero sabia que podia hacerlo mejor. Este curso junto con este profesor es lo mejor que le pasó a mi carrera como diseñador e ilustrador. No tengo nada más que agregar, solo que si tienen la oportunidad de obtener este y los demas cursos que tiene, no lo duden y adquieranlos.

Muito bom! Professor excelente! Recomendo o curso! Única crítica é fechar as abas das ferramentas para fazer as ilustrações. Ficam muitas abas abertas e acaba dificultando a visualização, mas fora isso, o curso é perfeito. Boa didática e bom aprofundamento, já comprei mais 2 cursos do professor. Achave esses cursos da Domestika bem fracos, mas esse professor me fez mudar de ideia e procurar novos cursos na plataforma.

Buen contenido para principiantes, pero me esperaba otro tipo de proyecto más enfocado a la ilustración que a la identidad de marca.
