Learn how to use Adobe Illustrator in this free course for absolute beginners. By the end, you'll know how to draw in Adobe Illustrator, how to make a pattern in Illustrator, and so much more.

1. Welcome to the Course

I'm Dan Scott, a digital designer and a certified Adobe instructor. I've won multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. Sharing is who I am, and teaching is where I am at my best.

In this course you'll learn:

  • How to draw in Illustrator
  • Working with color and gradients
  • How to use text and fonts in Illustrator
  • How to create effects and patterns
  • How to export for print and web

2. Getting Started

Let's get everything set up so that you can follow the Adobe Illustrator course easily. The good news is that you don't need anything other than a copy of the software to follow along and do the exercises in this course.

We do need to reset our Illustrator workspace, though, so that we can work more efficiently and make sure we're all on the same page—I'll explain how to do that in this section.

You can download all the source files for the course by clicking this button:

3. Setting Up Our Document

Our first exercise to practice in Illustrator will be to draw a penguin! You'll start with a pencil drawing and learn how to draw over it to create your own vector artwork. Watch this lesson to find out how to import the drawing from the source files and set up your document properly.

new document

Once we've set up your document, we'll look at how to import our drawing using File > Place and then lock the layer so that we can easily draw over the top of it.

4. Drawing With Shapes and Lines

Now let's learn how to draw shapes in Illustrator. This is a fundamental skill when learning how to draw in Illustrator because you can create many common objects by creating and adjusting simple shapes and lines.

For example, we can start by creating a simple rectangle using the Rectangle Tool.

Then we can make adjustments to the shape so that it matches the outline of our penguin.

And eventually we can create a whole drawing, just using simple shapes.

This is the longest part of the course, but the skills you pick up here will help you create all sorts of cool artwork in Illustrator, so it's time well spent!

5. Grouping and Arranging

The drawing we just created looked pretty good, but we can improve it by filling in the shapes with color and making it look more professional and finished.

To create this result, you'll need to learn:

  • how to group shapes in Illustrator
  • how to move shapes in front of and behind one other
  • how to use isolation mode” in Illustrator

I cover all of those things in the video, so follow along to see how it's done!

6. Drawing With the Shape Builder Tool

Our penguin drawing keeps getting better! This time, we're adding shadows to give our drawing more of a 3D look, and we're working on details like the eye. Let's practice in Illustrator.

Again, we're just using simple shapes as the building blocks, but we're making them overlap to create more complex results.

You'll learn all about the Shape Builder Tool in this video—it's a powerful tool to help you transform simple shapes into more complex ones.

7. Exercise: Draw a Custom Logo

We've learned some useful techniques now, so let's put them into practice with a real-world example: logo design. Let's see how to turn a drawing into the logo shown below, using the tools and techniques we’ve covered so far.

8. How to Use the Curvature Tool in Illustrator

Although drawing with simple shapes can get you a long way, you'll also need to master some of the more complex drawing tools in Illustrator. Let's start with the Curvature Tool.

You can create a fluid, curving line simply by choosing the Curvature Tool and then clicking to create anchor points along the curve.

Then you can go in and refine your curve by adjusting the guides for each anchor point.

Despite its name, you can also use the Curvature Tool in Illustrator to draw straight lines! Just double-click as you're creating each anchor point to create a corner instead of a curve.

9. How to Use the Pen Tool in Illustrator

Another important drawing tool to master is the Pen Tool. So let's jump in and learn how to use the Pen Tool in Illustrator by creating these icons:

We'll talk about when to use the Pen Tool vs. the Curvature Tool, and how to use them both together to draw more complex yet easily adjustable shapes. The Pen Tool is very powerful, so mastering it is an important step in learning how to draw in Illustrator.

10. How to Use the Pencil Tool in Illustrator

What if you want to draw freehand? Then you'll need yet another drawing tool—the Pencil Tool! Let's learn how to use the Pencil Tool in Illustrator to draw these freeform lines and arrows over a photo:

11. Using Brushes

We'll finish off this section on drawing in Illustrator by looking at how to use brushes. Here's what you'll be creating:

You’ll learn to transform the lines you’ve created with the pen, curvature, and pencil tools into stunning “painterly” strokes. Learn how to use Illustrator brushes, how to change the brush size in Illustrator, and more.

If you want to dive even deeper into Illustrator brushes, check out this comprehensive guide:

You can get better results by using one of the premium Illustrator brushes available on Envato Elements.

12. Working With Color

This chapter is all about color, one of the top Illustrator basics. First, let's explore how Illustrator controls color through RGB and HSB settings.

color settings rgb vs hsb

RGB stands for "Red, Green, Blue", and HSB stands for "Hue, Saturation, Brightness". They're two ways of defining colors, and you'll learn about them in more detail in the video.
