Skillshare Class: Hand Lettering to Refined Vector

I created a skillshare class sharing my hand lettering and vectorizing process. http://skl.sh/2kMvtHD

In this class we will learn how to take our hand drawn lettering and perfectly refine it in vector with Adobe Illustrator. We will be covering three different vectorization methods. Each method uses a different Illustrator tool as well as a strategic and efficient process for constructing the lettering. The method choice is dependent on the letterings style.In this class we will learn how to take our hand drawn lettering and perfectly refine it in vector with Adobe Illustrator.

The method choice is dependent on the letterings style.

Your first assignment will be to complete two simple hands on vector exercises based on the methods learned in class. 

There are two Illustrator files in the resources section you can download and complete. All the instructions are in the file ready to go! These exercises will help you get a great hands on feel. After you complete the exercises you are ready to start your lettering project!
