So... you've learned illustrator and fallen in love with design, but you just can't get your beloved mediums -just- how you want them in vector.
It takes some practice. I'll show you everything I know.
"I just can't get my art to look the way I want in Illustrator."
I have spent years learning to bridge the gap between my analog and digital art, and have found a place of beautiful balance. I made this course to show you everything I learned along the way. Packed full of insight, experience, and skillsets, you will walk away from this course with a toolkit unique to you and your artwork.
You can vectorize your artwork in a way you love.
I'm dropping an all-new Procreate Module to the 2023 course!
We gotta learn how to get those pixels to vector too!
Yes, I'm thinking of your style.
You will walk away from this course with the tools you need for your unique style -
I am a licensed artist, designer, and illustrator from Oklahoma! I have been an artist for most of my life and have been working in Adobe Illustrator for over 13 years.
I am currently a University Art Professor and let me tell you, teaching is my absolute passion. I absolutely love watching students grow their skillsets as we share our creativity together. The world is a more beautiful place because of what we put in it.
LET'S BREAK it DOWN
I was thinking about learning pattern creation in Photoshop, but now I can achieve the look I want in Illustrator... incredibly thought-provoking!
"Lissie shares in depth her process to bring all the detail and texture found in traditional paintings and recreates it as vector art in Adobe Illustrator. She has given me the skills to take my designs to the next level.
In addition to helping my signature style evolution, Lissie’s super power is not only teaching, but her ability to foster a supportive and inspiring community for learning."
Yes, It Really Works
It also showed me that in order to get a more painterly feel I'm going to have to approach the work in a bit of a different way... Lissie's patience, kindness, and willingness to take time with us is truly appreciated."
One of the best parts of the class was the warmth and support from the other members of the community, helping and cheering each other on. Lissie was so open and helpful it made this class a joy to be a part."
"The processes to explore texture and warmth in vectorized work while preserving the beauty and integrity of my original paintings and sketches is pushing my signature style to new heights.
"My biggest challenge is keeping the hand-drawn feel to my work when I bring it into Illustrator. After the A&D course, I have a better grasp on how to help with this.

Great question! My Texture Lab focuses on Textures specifically. There is not a lot of focus on texture in this course. I dive much deeper into design prep work and design thinking in this course. I also cover some design history and look at a lot of challenges with all of the art mediums we use. I do go over a few items in painting that might be familiar, but this course looks more at the process of working with full art drawings and paintings, and coming up with ways to make them their best in Illustrator, as vectors.
Yes. A basic understanding and working knowledge of Illustrator would be best to take this course, but no need to be advanced! I am very thorough in my teaching in Illustrator and talk through my processes so that any level can understand. I will not be teaching Illustrator basics.
Well I love this question, because I actually love both Photoshop and Illustrator! I think as designers, it is important to know both programs, because they do different things. Neither program is better than the other! Illustrator is generally deemed a vector/design program, and photoshop and art/pixel program. I am teaching Illustrator in this class as a design program, helping us to bring artwork in and keep the character of it, so we can have vector ready images for the clients and companies we design for.
This is a live course. Class begins on May 19, and the modules will be delivered at that time. You will be added to a pop-up community that I will be involved in, and we will have 1 kickoff call and 2 big Q&A calls. I can't wait to see what you do!
Registration for this course period opens May 9, 2023 and closes May 16. The course will kickoff May 19! 🎉
