In this series I will take you through all the steps necessary to complete an illustration in Illustrator. We will begin with the basics, setting up layers, using primitive geometric shapes to create our imagery, using the fill and stroke features etc. But along the way we will discover some of Illustrator’s more powerful features, such as the Appearance panel, the alignment functions, expanding an object and some cool effects. By the end of this series you will have seen how Illustrator can not only create this simple image but also how it can create much more complex images as well. I encourage you to follow along.
