Exploring kids design is a satisfying way to add playfulness and fun to your day.  Because this type of design trends on simplified, whimsical characters - it is accessible to anyone who wants to dip their feet into it!

In this class we'll be exploring kids design and designing our own character from sketch through a finalized design using Adobe Illustrator. 

We'll be covering:

• Simplified drawing techniques (focusing on whimsical animal characters and some floral elements)
• How to transfer your sketch into Adobe Illustrator using your phone or camera 
• Getting familiar with our workspace in Adobe Illustrator 
• How to set your own custom color palette in Illustrator 
• How to draw your character using the pencil tool in Illustrator 
• Adding fun details to your character like texture (and making a clipping mask) 
• How to use image trace in Illustrator 

Materials you'll need:

• Access to Adobe Illustrator 
• A smartphone or camera (and a way to transfer your image from camera to computer - bet it a dropbox, email, airdrop, etc.) 
• Pencil 
• Paper 
• Black pen or thin black marker (I use the Sakura Micron size 03) - but anything with a fine / semi fine tip that creates a saturated line will likely work
