Learn how to style and give personality to your vector illustrations with lighting effects in Adobe Illustrator
Light is an essential element in the creation of vector illustrations. Through light, it's possible to alter our perception of the space, objects, and characters represented graphically. Carlos and Fabi, founders of the creative studio Marmota vs. Milky, are all too familiar with the effect that proper lighting can have on their pieces and have collaborated with big names such as Adidas, Burger King, Nike, Ray-Ban, and more.
In this course, learn to create vector illustrations in Adobe Illustrator with different lighting effects. Join your teachers to explore lighting techniques and visual tools for adding value to your work and making sure it stands out from the crowd.
Now would also be a good time to take a look at Marmota vs. Milky's first Domestika course, Adobe Illustrator: Vector Illustration from Scratch, in which they teach you to master the software and create professional graphic pieces.

Justo lo que buscaba!
Este curso me enseño herramientas y técnicas para dar el siguiente paso para desarrollar ilustraciones mas atractivas visualmente. A veces parece que van un poco rápido en el desarrollo de los ejercicios pero nada que no se arregle con volver a repasar la clase. Muy recomendable.
