Meet your teacher for the course, Aarón Martínez. He tells you about his work and the influences that have shaped his style before giving you an introduction to Illustrator—the leading digital illustration software on the market.
Discover what artboards are and explore the program's main tools and features. Aarón then teaches you how to work with geometric shapes, the building blocks for your first illustrations.
Move on to working with text and learn to bend shapes into curves to create custom letters loaded with personality.
Discover the Pathfinder tool, a must-have for digital illustration, and see how to use it to cut and join paths. Then, find out how to brighten up your designs with both solid colors and gradients.
Once you've got the hang of the tools, get some practice by designing everyday objects like food, animals, and even people.
Wrap up the course by composing an entire piece and bring it to life with the perfect color palette.
