Part 1: Creating Design using Illustrator
Watch on Vimeo: Black Cat Part 1

There is a lot going on with this project! We will cover two important color blending techniques. The first is how to incorporate opaque black with some shading to give your shapes some dimensionality. Also, as a foil to all that black, you will use pale pinks, purples and yellows to create a delicate gradient as your background.

Added Bonus! The first video is how to use Illustrator in your design work.
