Read MoreSo many items touched on in this class applied to me. Showing a unique stance or outline, and being able to convert it to black and still be recognizable is brilliant- I knew this about logos and icons, but for some reason did not apply them to characters! "Common problems" section- This is the second class I have seen this in and it applied to me yet again. Thank you for not only mentioning these common issues without judgement, but showing us simple solutions. Showing us your process and how you render things was amazing! One of the best classes. I have referred back to this class several times already.
