👉 Adobe Illustrator from scratch | Chapter 9: Vectorizing images and finding vectors
In this Adobe Illustrator course for beginners, you'll learn to use the tools of the world's most popular vector graphics program to quickly and easily create a wide variety of designs: vector illustrations, icons, logos, brochures, social media graphics, and many other graphic pieces.
This course is designed for those with no prior knowledge of Illustrator, or very little, who want to learn how to use the program to create simple designs. We'll start from scratch with the fundamentals of Illustrator and gradually add more content. I recommend watching the videos in order and not skipping any to get the most out of your learning.
📂 Step-by-step exercises
At the end of each chapter, you'll find step-by-step exercises to apply the topics covered. Some exercises start from scratch, while others use base files that you can download and use to follow along:
