In this tutorial you learn or review all of the tools you need to get started using illustrator. It starts you with the pen tool, a foundation you need for using many of the other tools to establish shapes or draw in the program. It then expands on the manipulation of shapes using shape tool, point selection, transform tool and the shape builder tool. It goes on to talk and expand on the use of artboards and layers for building depth and accessibility in terms of experimentation. Allowing for variety tests for color, line variation, and text. 

The tutorial makes use of the gradient tool, something I forget exists in favor of the far not tedious mesh tool. There is also use of the Recolor tool which was a new tool for my Illustrator repertoire! It made getting different variants of color pallettes easier.

The tutorial also elaborates one the saving process of projects in Illustrator, something that can be tricky to navigate for new users. 

Examples of Illustrator work from my portfolio:
