Vectors with a Hand-Made Soul
The Play-Doh Technique bridges the digital-analog divide: build vectors in Illustrator while maintaining that authentic, hand-crafted feel. You get the precision of vectors without the sterile polish.
Beginner-Friendly Approach
No need for expert designer or illustrator skills. The instructor shows shortcuts, explains simply and slowly, and walks you through his own work—making the technique immediately accessible.
Real-World Applications
Take this technique straight into websites, branding, and print work. By class end, you'll have a new skill that amplifies your existing capabilities, not replaces them.
About this course
We all like vectors. But we also love hand-drawn stuff. And this class teaches you how to mash those 2 things together with the Play-Doh technique.
The Play-Doh technique allows you to work with vectors much like you would with Play-Doh, which gives your vector work an authentic hand-made feel, without losing the things that make vectors vector!
This short and fun class covers the basics of the Play-Doh technique, as well as plenty of examples, and secret hints and tips. You don’t need to be an ace designer or illustrator. I show you shortcuts, show you my own work, and explain things simply and slowly.
All you need to take this class is an appreciation of the hand-made, as well as Adobe Illustrator (which you can get a 30 day free trial of). You don’t need much experience in Adobe Illustrator at all!
By the end of this class you’ll be able to create authentic and natural vector work – ready for websites, branding, and print work! You’ll be able to add it to your existing skill set and start having fun right away.
