Dynamic Vector Art Without Rigid Shapes
This 30-minute class skips the pen tool and basic shapes in favor of brush and blob tools—the path to vector art that feels hand-drawn and alive. Melissa walks you through creating custom brushes, applying color and shadow to line work, and building vector illustrations from start to finish. The result is artwork that retains human warmth while staying completely scalable. Even with minimal Illustrator experience, the structured workflow demystifies the process.
