Adobe Illustrator is a powerful tool used by designers to create vector-based artwork, from professional logos to detailed illustrations and compelling infographics.

In BYOL’s Illustrator Essentials course, Adobe Certified Professional and Adobe MAX Master Award winner Dan Scott will teach you techniques such as tips for conquering the pen, pencil, and curvature tools, the world of brushes, lines, and strokes, and how to harness the power of Adobe's Generative AI features to push your creative boundaries. Through the course, you will create real-world, portfolio-ready projects.

When you are ready to take your Illustrator skills to the next level, BYOL’s Illustrator Advanced course will help you speed up your workflow and expand your knowledge with step-by-step instruction on quick color adjustments, the best method for vectorizing and coloring hand-drawn sketches, and tips for creating charts and graphs.

As a member of the BYOL community, you’ll learn the tools to create anything your creative heart desires—from icons, logos, and postcards to beautifully hand-drawn illustrations!
