Flat-Art Puppy Character Design in Adobe Illustrator

Join me on this fun, beginner-friendly, short character design course in how to create a flat-art style puppy in Adobe Illustrator!

No drawing skills are needed!

In my usual hands-on style, you’ll follow a step-by-step process to design a charming puppy illustration using basic shapes, color blocking, and simple vector techniques.

Hi, I'm Tim!
I’m an Adobe Certified Instructor and Expert, as well as a designer based in London.

What you’ll learn:

• How to set up an Illustrator artboard

• How to draw with circles, rectangles and triangles

• How to use the Shape Builder tool

• How to change the stacking order of objects

• How to color and export your final design

• Create patterns in your Swatch

• Export multiple sized images for web or print using the Artboard export options

All lessons are delivered in short, clear videos with a hands-on project.

There are no resource files for this course.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid grasp of creating simple characters from Illustrator's basic shape tools. You'll be able to manipulate simple shapes by subtracting one from the other as well as round the corners using the little corner widget on the shape. You will change the stacking order of objects and look at using a opacity to create simple 2D shadows.

Don’t forget to share your work—I love seeing what you create!
