Class Project

Class project is something that will help you to track your progress for what you have learnt in the class. By doing regular practice and work on project, it will help you to enhance your skills. I highly recommend students to go through the class project and do some practice, by following the steps taught in the class, and share your work in the assignment area.

I have attached 3 class project assignments. I want you to go through them and use them as a reference example, and recreate them in your own art style following the process explained in the lectures

To make your assignment, follow the workflow as explained in the class and make sure you follow the step by step process as mentioned below;

Observe your environment, & pick an object that you like

1- Make a rough sketch using basic shapes (as shown in the class)

2- Bring your rough sketch to Adobe Illustrator (Refine sketch using outlines and basic shapes)

3- Add colors to the outline artwork illustration

4- Apply highlights and shadows to the design

5- Make some final touches to make your work unique

Share your work with everyone in the class

Usman is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. The course is very well constructed, lots of useful tools and techniques were shown, wich created a solid base of how the software works. The examples were simple and straight to the point. And it was also fun to watch it. He is a very cool person! Thanks for the great course!

A nice class! The course is concise, clear, organized and easy to follow. Even as a beginner, I can just follow the steps explained by the teacher and created my own vector illustrations easily Adobe Ilustrator. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about Adobe illustrator.

Overall it was a good design time lapse. However, there were a few times that he did detailed work with specific steps in Illustrator you would have liked to see exactly what he was click to achieve that task, like expanding the outlines on the outside of the shapes while leaving the inside ones alone, or doing some detail work with the shadows. But the time lapse was too quick and it was hard to see which buttons he was pushing. Obviously very talented, but felt more like a time lapse video than a proper tutorial

Esperava mais, mal falou sobre as ferramentas de desenho do Illustrator. Sem contar que o volume do vídeo estava muito baixo.
