Setting up a document | Placing in a drawing / Sketch In this video we are going to begin our project by setting up a document in Adobe illustrator for our poster and T-shirt design. Then we will be placing in a previously scanned drawing, and arranging the layers in such a way to prepare us to begin tracing it. I will be taking you through some of the details you need consider as we set up a new document. Later In this project we are going to convert the scanned drawing into vector artwork by using the drawing tools in illustrator. Once converted into vector artwork we will be able to apply stroke and colour effects in future. **FYI** In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac. Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions. Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.

Compounding vector shapes & strokes | Pathfinder tool In this video I am going to demonstrate how we can take the vector drawing composition created in the previous video and compound it into a single flat vector. There are many good reasons to use this technique. The main reason why we are going to compound our vector is to help us add colour to the artwork in the next tutorial. In this video I will be also be demonstrating how to use the compounded shape vector as a stencil. **FYI** In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac. Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions. Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.
