From the course: Illustrator: Digitizing Hand Lettering

Digitize your lettering

(calm music) - Hi, I am Kylie Bennett, and I'm the lettering artist, teacher, author, and designer behind Kylie in Kentucky. For me, lettering was the best hobby I ever picked up, but what made it into a full-time career was learning how to pull my designs into Adobe Illustrator and make them usable in an infinite amount of ways. I started by making desktop backgrounds and transparent overlays to put on top of photos, and then I moved on to creating my own logo, designing logos for others, using my lettering. And now I've seen my lettering on variety of products and publications. In this Skillshare class, I'm going to show you my step-by-step process for digitizing your artwork using Adobe Illustrator. And it doesn't matter if you're using pen and paper, or procreate or lettering on your iPad. I'm going to show you how you can take those designs and make them digital. It's my hope to take the fear out of a program like Illustrator and give you confidence to move forward with your newfound skill and be excited to dig even deeper into your artistic process. Let's get started.
