STEP BY STEPS

ILLUSTRATOR TUTORIALS

STEP #1: DOWNLOAD BRUSHES. Many of you are jumping over from YouTube looking to download our Cartoon and Illustrator Brush Libraries. Our (Updated) 200 Adobe Illustrator Brushes are specifically designed for Illustrators and Cartoonists to speed up their workflows. You can download our 200 Adobe Illustrator Brushes to follow along with the Tutorials or use them with Your Own Vector Artwork.

STEP #2: EXTRACT FOLDERS. The first step will be to download and extract the Resource Folders. The Folders will come as a Zipped Folder on Teachable. Once you have Downloaded and Extracted the Folders, they are ready to be used in Adobe Illustrator. Follow Along with our Resource Guides and Tutorials to practice applying and editing Brushes + Halftones + Textures.

STEP #3: FOLLOW ALONG. If you are following along on YouTube, I recommend starting with our 100 Adobe Illustrator Beginner Tutorials Playlists. This playlist will focus on Building Tools, Applying Brushes, Editing Options, and Basic Coloring Techniques. *I have included our Resources to follow along with the 100 Tutorials Playlist on YouTube and 50 Step by Steps on the Website.

HOW TO FOLLOW ALONG

NEW VISITOR GUIDE TO FOLLOWING ALONG

FOLLOW ALONG TUTORIALS

TIP #1: Welcome to our Website if you are a New Subscriber to our YouTube Channel. The first thing to note is that everything is in a Step by Step format in our Active Learning Curriculum. I would plan 30 Minutes to an Hour per Lesson. You can click on any of the thumbnails (below) to start on an Adobe Illustrator Tutorial or Challenge.

2-SCREEN APPROACH

TIP #2: I recommend a 2-Screen Approach to Viewing and Following Along. Most of the videos are Formatted to be on a Smaller Screen. This will also prevent you from Pausing and Toggling Back and Forth between YouTube and Illustrator. It will also prevent Shrinking your Screen to View Both at the same Time. Have Illustrator BIG.

BRUSHES + RESOURCES

TIP #3: If you are interested in Following Along to the Adobe Illustrator Beginner Guide and Step by Steps with our Brushes and Tutorial Resources, the First Step is to Download and Extract the Folders. You can Download the Brushes, Textures and Tutorial Resources in our Illustrator Brushes or Resource Bundle.

I appreciate your videos. I have been an illustrator user for years and have my own ways of doing things. It's great to see other ways of using tools and learning tricks I didn't know were available! It's also good to see you doing the same thing as me in other instances, confirming I'm on the right track!Andy Zenz

Awesome tutorial! I don't think I've picked up something so easily from someone who knows what they are doing. I managed to draw my first vector art and it was a joy! Great work keep it up!blitz145
