Vector illustration with Lighting Effects

Start by getting to know Carlos and Fabi and how they came to join professional forces under the name Marmota vs. Milky. They share some of their most prominent works and biggest influences such as Thai artist James Jean and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.

Study the RGB and CMYK color systems, absolute black, and the essentials for creating lighting effects for both digital and printed works. Explore Illustrator's tools and panels and discover how to give your illustration depth of field, cast shadows and reflections, as well as add texture.

After creating a mood board of reference materials, do some initial sketching to try out different composition options before choosing your favorite. Now it's time to move to Adobe Illustrator! Create the basic lines for vectorizing your design, put together a color palette, add the lighting effects you learned before, and put the finishing touches on your piece.

Learn to convert and export your artwork for printing or publishing on social media. Carlos and Fabi also give you some tips on producing vector mock-ups that can be used in your portfolio. By the end of the course, you'll be creating powerful and original vector illustrations.
