Course content
Color us impressed! You’ve already made it this far in our 101 course. You’re slowly on your way to vector design superstardom.
In this episode, we’ll bask in the calm waters of the tools and skills we’ve learned so far—the Selection Tool and all its modes, the Node Tool for path editing, the Shape Tool for drawing simple objects, and the Pencil Tool for everything in between.
But we’ll conquer new territory in terms of how you express yourself with color. We’ll learn gradients, working with opacity, blur, and a combination of these functionalities, in order to give more depth to your illustrations. Put it all together and we’re creating our very first full-page design—a beautiful sunset scene.
• Composition Theory
• Create and adjust gradients
• Work with Opacity (within gradients as well)
• Use the Blur function
• Create simple shadows and 3D effects
