Course Description
Learn to Create Beautiful Graphics on this Comprehensive Adobe Illustrator on the iPad Course
This is a comprehensive course in Illustrator on the iPad, starting from scratch for complete beginners, through to advanced techniques. Using the new iPad version, I show you the techniques and concepts using touch, gestures and the Apple pencil. You do not have to be able to draw to complete this Illustrator on the iPad course.
Using real life examples, I will demonstrate and give you exciting projects to carry out so you can easily put these into practice for your own artwork, graphic design work and marketing materials. Whether you want to get paid for your Illustrator skills, or you're doing this for fun / self-improvement, this course and the projects will help you build confidence to be able to translate into your own work.
I will take you through Illustrator on the iPad by first looking at a specific set of tools and techniques, and then reinforcing your knowledge in these with a step-by-step project at the end of most sets of lectures. The projects range from simple logos and icons, through to more complex posters and into in-depth infographics. All the content can be adapted for both print or web.
During the videos there will also be key phrases that appear to help you remember tools, shortcuts and techniques.

Halfway through and continue in my amazement...illustrator is not scary! This instructor is awesome at presenting "bite-sized" lessons. Just getting to the part of the class I wanted to learn, but the first half was imperative to getting comfortable and familiar with the basics.
By Erinski Easy on 6/11/2024
He does gloss over some of the details of the tools like brushes especially making your own brush … so many lessons just have repeated stuff or just one thing that didn't need to be said at the same time really important in-depth information is missing. this course could have been 1 hour and would give a good introduction to the app, but I still had to buy another course to get the deep training I needed.

A great course – not only for beginners! Instead of being familiar with the desktop version I learned new skills for my daily work with Illustrator. I liked the way the teacher explained everything. Learning with fun! Thank you :-)

This is a fantastic course and I highly recommend it. The instructor is thorough, very clear, and pleasant to listen to. It's my second course of his and I'd definitely buy another. Heads up though for anyone (like me) who only has illustrator on the ipad and not desktop. I make clip art to sell and I noticed that my art looks beautiful on the ipad but when I airdrop it to my laptop, the quality decreases and the lines look pixelated. Not sure if that's because I'm missing a step or if it's a problem with illustrator on the ipad, but thought I should mention it.

I've only just begun, but find this an Amazing course! Tim is so thorough and explains everything in such detail. I am so grateful to have fallen upon it and that I didn't choose another one I was looking at. I just love his enthusiasm. He speaks slow and its so easy to follow. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this course. The lecturer was thorough, clear and left me curious for more. I have completed two other adobe courses in the past for the desktop illustrator. Regardless, I prefer his teaching style. The notes on the side of every class and the fact that his mouse is coloured blue , as well as his general enthusiasm, I appreciated his tutorial.

Definitely want to thank the tutor for this absolutely awesome course where they have thoroughly explained and taught illustrator with some great projects from creating logos to infographics and social media posts!! Can confidently say I’ve learned enough from this to start freelancing!
By Mariajose de Vasquez on 2/8/2022
I loved this course, very easy to follow. It's perfect if never have used a vector app before and even when you know the basics or used another software, it will give tips and hidden tools and tricks. Tim is very pleasant and his classes are engaging. Happy to say I am using Illustrator on regular basis, confidently.
By James Monohan on 4/15/2021
This was a good introduction to the software. I think another course by this instructor is merited. Time to do more projects and learn principals of art and design - shadows, highlights and perspective - while further hammering in the nuts and bolts of operating the software. I think such a course could be very popular.
By Mark Maynard on 12/14/2020
The course was very thorough and the practice files made it very effective. Having the ability to pause the video and actually complete the exercises helped to make the lessons sink in. I would definitely recommend this others that are new to Illustrator.
