In this class, you are going to learn the principles, techniques, methods, and mindset involved in the creation of highly realistic vector graphics. This is a project-oriented class, where the student will follow along together with me in order to create the final project which is a full vector realistic car. I used Affinity Designer for this class, although the principles, methods, and techniques are the same for any other vector software, so it's up to the student to use this or any other software. It is aimed at intermediate users who have familiarity with layers, masking, effects, transparencies, gradients, and boolean operations (subtract, add, combine, intersect, divide). IMPORTANT: Please, consider leaving a review. You'll be helping me greatly, even if it's just a few words or a simple rating. Thanks! Final Project
