Colouring a vector drawing in Adobe Illustrator Ep17/19 [Adobe Illustrator for Beginners]

In this video we are going to carry on from where we left off in the previous video and add colour to our vector drawing. Now for this project we are creating artwork for both a printed poster and a T-shirt.

In this video we are going to deal with CMYK colors and pantones colours and look at the approach for both the Poster design and the T-shirt design. What you will soon discover is that there are various technicalities we need to keep in mind to provide the right artwork for the printers.

*FYI*
In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac. Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions. Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.
