Adobe Illustrator for Beginners (Gareth David Studio)

Gareth David's free 19-episode Illustrator course, about 5.5 hours, taught by a working designer at an even pace. The first half covers the interface, panels and workspaces, artboards, vector basics with selection tools, fill and stroke, colour with swatches, Pantones and gradients, handy beginner tips, shape vectors, grouping and the shape builder, the pen, pencil and brush tools, the blob brush and eraser, and type tools. The second half is a project: placing a sketch, image trace, tracing by hand into vector artwork, pathfinder, colouring the drawing, adding type to a poster, and preparing and exporting for print. A strong English companion to Urdu Illustrator courses.
