Illustrator Mastery: Crafting Minimalist Vector Characters takes the mighty orc from fantasy to flat design with clever precision. Through structured steps, you’ll learn to build an orc character—head, body, arms, and legs—while keeping the aesthetic refreshingly clean and stylistically consistent. You’ll also explore how to give your orc a proper sword because even minimalist warriors need accessories.
This course keeps things focused, from shapes and proportions to final detailing and exporting. Whether you're aiming to populate a digital tavern or simply improve character workflow in Illustrator, you'll walk away with sharper design decisions and characters that look bold, simple, and ready for their next fictional quest.
