36 Days of Type 2021 - From Sketch to Vector

Описание: In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial I take you through my process for creating my Alphabot series for the 36 Days of Type challenge in 2021. I start out with pencil and paper before using my phone to take a photo that I use as a template image in Illustrator where I create the final cartoon robot letter.

I have been taking part in the 36 Days of Type since 2019. This marks my third year taking part in the creative challenge but is actually my 4th version because I executed two alphabets last year. If you haven't heard of the challenge yet you need to run over to instagram to check it out by searching the hashtag #36DaysofType. You can also visit the main site to get more information. https://www.36daysoftype.com

The concept of creating an alphabet for the challenge (26 letters + 10 Numbers) is quite simple... but when you see the amazing things that other illustrators/animators/designers/3D artists put together you will be inspired to push the boundaries of what you thought you were capable of. For the last two years I have animated my alphabets as After Effects practice. I don't have any formal motion graphics training so I am very proud of my results. I'd be thrilled if you check them out.
