Vectorize your Drawings! From Procreate to Vector in Adobe Illustrator
Drawing in Procreate is so effortless (and FUN!). Yet a lot of the time, clients will want final files in a vector format. This class documents my process from start to finish of starting with a Procreate drawing and converting it to a fully vector illustration, with the help of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. It is for anyone with intermediate experience in Procreate and Adobe Illustrator.
