TUTORIALS + PLAYLISTS. If you are looking to follow along on YouTube, I recommend starting with our 100 Adobe Illustrator Tutorials Playlist. This playlist will focus on the Building Tools, Applying Brushes, Editing Options, and Basic Coloring Techniques in Adobe Illustrator.

Create Artboards: I recommend establishing a "Building Artboard" that you can use for your own artwork. The initial Artboard Size can be changed at any point without ruining your own artwork. Pick the size you will use most frequently to establish a routine while learning. Example: 1080px by 1080px - RGB - 300 PPI. LEARNING TARGET: Create an Artboard or Template for all of your "Building."

Place Resource: One of the easiest ways of getting started in Adobe Illustrator is using a Basic Line Drawing or Trace as your Resource. For those of you who intend on going off of a photo reference, I will still recommend giving yourself a traceable path. File - Place in your own sketch, photo, or trace. LEARNING TARGET: Use your own Sketch, Photo, or Trace to create your own artwork in Adobe Illustrator.

Template Layer: Have your Resource Layer Selected. In your Layers Panel, select the Menu in the Upper-Right Hand Corner. Drop down to Template. This will create a 50% Opacity and Lockout the Layer. Create a New Layer above to start working in Adobe Illustrator. LEARNING TARGET: Create a Template Layer Setting so that you can see both the Resource and Paths.
