Course Overview

Illustration & Digital Art

Vector illustration rewards structure and patience. You will build artwork from simple shapes rather than long freehand paths, control curves so lines stay smooth, and use flat colour, gradients, and grain to add depth without losing scalability. The course covers a consistent visual style across a set, grid based icon design, editorial and spot illustration, and preparing files for web, app, and print use with correct sizes and formats.
