Course details
This course teaches students how to create crisp vector graphics and text with precise shape building tools, fluid painterly brushes and advanced path controls for digital printing, web and mobile devices. Students will create vector artwork with an array of sophisticated drawing tools to create resolution independent Bezier curves. Students will create their artwork on multiple art boards and use natural brushes, layers, shapes, colors, blends, alignments and transformations to develop their artwork. This course will also teach perspective drawing using perspective grids to draw shapes and scenes in accurate one, two or three point linear perspective, creating a look of realistic depth and distance.
