Pen to Vector, a Tutorial

There’s so much more you can do with a doodle once it’s turned into a vector!

All of my art starts with a doodle, it’s that simple. I sketch out a page full of doodles, outline them with a good fine tipped inky pen, and then convert everything to vectors. Then I use Adobe Illustrator to work the individual vector elements into illustrations and patterns. If you would like to learn more about my process and try it out, I’ve published my first Skillshare class and it’s all about converting doodles to vectors. Please have a watch and share my tutorial with anyone who could use this skill, Skillshare offers a free trial if you aren't already a subscriber. Converting doodles to vectors is a useful skill for those who are interested surface pattern design, children's book illustration, illustrating for home decor and more.
