    Do I need to be an illustrator or artist?

     

    Absolutely not! But by learning Illustrator you will learn how to adapt existing artwork to create your own unique highly effective Illustrator vector graphics

     

    Although of course illustrators and digital artists use the software extensively. However Adobe Illustrator provides tools such as AutoTrace and the Pen tool which let you work with existing artwork to produce your own unique imagery.

     

    One of the tools you learn on the course is AutoTrace, an example of Illustrator’s AutoTrace tool can be seen below. This tool is used to break down artwork into vector paths to be edited and adapted by you.
