Very helpful. Would like to see the drawing process as well
Great Class! Exactly what i was looking for. I have always been intimidated by Illustrator and have been using photoshop for projects that I should have been using this program for. Fun, Comprehensive and at a great pace. Only recommendation would be to work more tools into the curriculum. Thanks a ton! Highly recommended. 5 stars!
