My name is Chris Nielsen. I am a Computer Graphics Instructor at 4 local Colleges here in southern California: Cal State Fullerton, Orange Coast College, Santa Ana College and East LA College. I have an MFA Degree in Illustration from CSUF. I have been teaching at the college level for 14 years now and a lot of my classes involve my home-made instructional videos. NOW, I am uploading some of the past video on my New UA-cam Channel after years of neglecting this option for my students... But, this channel will also serve to help out everyone else out there who will never have the opportunity to take one of my computer graphics classes here in southern California. So... Enjoy! And by the way, I literally have thousands of videos that will be uploaded in the coming months, so please Subscribe, Comment, and come back often for a lot more updates. THANKS! - Chris Nielsen
BLACK & WHITE PROJECT #1 Drawing Basics in Adobe Illustrator
In this tutorial, I will discuss the way that you can use the BRUSH TOOL to make a brush tip for inking in a drawing in Adobe Illustrator.
I also talk about the difference between Brush Lines and Fill Colors and why they should always be separated.
I also talk about the nature of Patterns and how you have to prepare them with an additional Fill from the Appearance Panel to really get them to work correctly.
