Madeline Peterson/Madsee Cards, Fleur-De-Lis: A Digital Tutorial in Illustrator
Video, 16 minutes, 13 seconds, 2020
Dive into the world of digital art in this simple Adobe Illustrator tutorial for beginners.
The Fleur-De-Lis has long been a symbol of our city and I wanted our budding digital artists to learn how to create every curve and flourish of this iconic symbol. In my tutorial video, I teach beginners about several important tools in Illustrator including the pen tool, Pathfinder, transforming shapes, and creating free-form gradients. As I run my own greeting card start-up, my intention is for the art to be rendered digitally then printed onto a card, but the sky's the limit for what students may want to do with their digital creations.
