T0432 - Design Pro Video Illustrator CS4 201

This tutorial is available!

Illustrator is the application you use to make objects for Photoshop and Flash. As a vector-based
drawing application, Illustrator is a powerful tool for creating graphical objects, but it can be a
bit confusing at the beginning - especially if you've never created vector graphics before.
In this 5-hour tutorial by seasoned technical author Kelly Murdock, you'll learn valuable tricks for
working with vector art. Skills demonstrated in this Illustrator CS4 tutorial include how to use
Illustrator's tools to draw objects and edit vector paths, grouping and organizing objects on
layers, and working with Type to create text along paths and shapes. You'll also learn important
tips for anti-aliasing vector graphics, working with color and gradients, and transforming objects
to make intricate works of art.
This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don't need to watch every video. Use the detailed menu
structure and keyword search function to quickly find topics of interest. For a full list of this
Illustrator tutorials topics, see the Table of Contents below.

T0341 - Cartoon Smart - Character Design (2 CD)

Cartoon Smart - Character Design using Adobe Illustrator

This lesson has two first's. A new instructor has stepped up to the mic: Mike MacNerland, AND this is CartoonSmart's first lesson with Adobe Illustrator (more to follow, I'm sure).

Here's the official "sales page" write up which will describe the lesson better than my rambling blog-speak....

This tutorial teaches character design using sweeping curves, unique angles, minimal shapes, and highly stylized, sometimes abstract forms. Cartoons like the Jetsons, and Flinstones are reference points for what this popular modern style grew out of. Ffor example look at the swooping continous line of Wilma Flinstone's hair, Fred and Barney's simple no-necked egg-shaped bodies, or the background art of the Jetson's signature curvilinear universe. A modern reference for this style would be shows like Dexter's Lab or Power Puff Girls that minimalized the classic Hannah Barbera look to the extreme. One major benefit of this simplified design style is that animation can be done much quicker than a more complicated realistic character. Guest instructor Mike Macnerland was brought into teach this lesson because of his background in the animation / illustration industry and his portfolio of character designs embody this re-invention of that classic 1960's cartoon look. The tutorial covers sketching characters for 30 minutes (with paper and pencil or on the computer with a Wacom), then tracing over his designs in Adobe Illustrator. This portion of the tutorial covers some of the basics of drawing with vector art in Illustrator. Mike also shares some personal tips to developing a career as a professional artist.

The total course time is 4 hours. Quicktime or Real Player will play the tutorial movies.
