  • - How to use simple tools in clever ways.
  • - The techniques involved in the creation of this kind of art.
  • - Do's and don'ts when drawing with vectors in order to get the best results.
  • - How to paint with vectors.
  • - What vector software is able to do, beyond the usual beliefs, and to understand that it can be done with just a few tools and techniques.

  • Very Important Message - Watch before taking this class.0:54

    This is not a beginners class. You need to know all the basics of vector software and control them well, specially the pen tool, layers panel, gradients, clipping masks, etc. I highly discourage people still not at this level to take this class.

Requirements

  • - Intermediate knowledge of vector applications. I'll work in Affinity Designer, although any other vector software is also suitable (Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Gravit, Sketch, etc.)
  • - How to work with layers
  • - How to work with gradients and transparencies
  • - How to use effects (glows, shadows, blurs, etc)
  • - How to work with boolean operations (subtract, intersect, combine, add, divide)

Description

NOTE: This is not a class for beginners but for INTERMEDIATE USERS (you need to have familiarity with layers, masking, effects, transparencies, gradients and boolean operations (subtract, add, combine, intersect, divide).

In this class we are going to learn the principles, techniques, methods and mindset involved in the creation of highly realistic vector graphics. This is a project oriented class, where the student is expected to follow along together with me while creating the final project which is a full vector realistic car (Porsche 911).

>> I highly recommend you check the full student's gallery before taking this class!! << 

It is full of magnificent examples where you will get a better insight of what you'll be able to achieve after taking this class. Many may people is achieving amazing results and so will you!

I work in Affinity Designer for this class, although the  principles, methods and techniques are the same for any other vector software, so it's up to the student to use this or any other software. In the mentioned students' gallery there are some Adobe illustrator examples and on my Illustration Facebook group many people works these techniques in Affinity Designer, Illustrator, Inkscape, etc. It's all about knowing the right few tools needed!

Last but not least, should you have any doubt before you decide to take this class, do not hesitate asking me! I will be more than happy to help.

Who this course is for:

  • INTERMEDIATE USER. This is not a beginners class.
  • Artists and designers willing to quickly boost their ability drawing with vectors and to understand in depth how vector software and graphics software in general works, beyond our usual beliefs.
