REALISTIC VECTOR ART PRINCIPLES: Your Giant Leap as an Artist (Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator)

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class you are going to learn the principles, techniques, methods and mindset involved in the creation of highly realistic vector graphics. This is a project oriented class, where the student will follow along together with me in order to create the final project which is a full vector realistic car.

I used Affinity Designer for this class, although the  principles, methods and techniques are the same for any other vector software, so it's up to the student to use this or any other software. It is aimed for intermediate users who have familiarity with layers, masking, effects, transparencies, gradients and boolean operations (subtract, add, combine, intersect, divide).
