On Day 1, Aurélia will turn sketches into an original vector character illustration using the pen tool and custom brushes. On day 2, learn how Aurélia places this character into different environments using her own original patterns. Stick around to learn how she uses Creative Cloud Libraries to import and manage all of her assets!
