STUDIO VLOG 07 🌸My first steps with Adobe Illustrator & ALL the spring vibes in Switzerland

Welcome to Studio Vlog 07! This time, I take my first footsteps in Adobe Illustrator as a total newbie.

Since I am enrolled in the Immersion course by Bonnie Christine, I am learning the technical features of the software and how to create surface pattern designs. But it's not all just theory, in this video I try to make my first pattern with the software! Since all that computer work can get a little much for your eyes (and your soul), though, I also take you on a few little short breaks out into glorious spring sunshine. You'll see views so pretty, they are almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face :).

I am an illustrator who shares her journey here on YouTube, IG and on my website. I have been on this path since March of 2019, and I learn more every day. I want to share that with you! I LOVE being creative, and learning. I believe in the growth mindset and that though natural talent can make a difference, so can persistence, practice, and enthusiasm.
