Hello! This course is made for Hand Letterers who want to up their game and learn the awesome skill of creating vector art in Illustrator, using the Pen Tool, Curvature Tool and Auto Trace. If you want to work with clients and other artists, you will need to develop the ability to create vectors with your Hand Lettering art. Vector art allows you to scale your art to any size and apply it to any material and have your art remain true to your vision.

Lastly, I will show you how to properly use the auto trace tool, so that you preserve your artwork details. This course is short and to the point and you will use this skill for countless projects in your creative future. All hand letterers should know how to make their art into vectors so that they remain in controll of their art from start to finish.

Pretty decent.
It will be better if I can see the video on the full screen and collapse the information windows. It’s to small to watch on Mobil or iPad
Yes, it was a good match, but I am going to see it again for anything missed.
Very informative. I knew about image trace but I always struggled with fine tuning my hand lettering in AI like getting rid of the mid sections of letters. Just that alone is a tremendous help to what I’ve been doing so thank you. Instructor is easy on the eyes as well.
Quick, clear and intuitiv and easily to understand - even for non-native speakers and Illustrator beginners. Thanks a lot.
I am just getting into Illustrator, so this was all new to me. I learned a great deal as I followed along. It is always encouraging to see other people's work and having her artwork on display was great. This course was very useful. Thank you Melanie. Great job.
teacher explained very clearly with clearly voice and I understood how to do it well even though I am non English speaker. I learned a lot from this course and I am happy with this course.
Informative and concise, well articulated and delivered.
