Vector 101 With Tyler Pate

By Shireen Faridniya |
September 9, 2020

If you follow our Wacom Webinars Series, you’ve probably noticed we’re big fans of illustrator and designer, Tyler Pate AKA The Creative Pain. So much that we asked him to host another workshop with us — this time on the basics of vector illustration. During Vector 101, Tyler constructed a tropical vignette from start to finish in Adobe Illustrator and answered many attendee questions along the way. Watch (or rewatch!) our webinar with Tyler below to be transported to vector paradise.

Tyler also created an Adobe Illustrator cheat sheet including his favorite keyboard shortcuts, actions, and even a mini tutorial on how to create a vector brush from scratch. Download the PDF here!

The importance of taking breaks ❤️

We’ve seen absolutely identified with the words of @ms.shortyj 💫 Taking care of yourself will help you grow as an artist.

Stopping is not quitting, is just taking a pause of the path to get another perspective 😉
