Chelsea’s Challenge: A New Approach
To celebrate the new year, this month Chelsea is trying a personal approach to Chelsea’s Challenge. “The challenge starts with reflecting on your artistic habits, your go-to motifs and techniques, and what leaves you feeling stalled or stuck. There’s no better time than the end of one year and the start of the next to reflect on these things, and you may find this challenge useful in tandem with our Pattern Planning and Goal Setting course.”
Members can explore this inspiring challenge here.
Recording Posted: New Recolor Artwork Tool
For December’s session Laura gave us a tour of the NEW Recolor Artwork feature in Adobe Illustrator. “This feature was updated in the newest version of Illustrator (2021) that was released last month at Adobe MAX, and allows you to sample colors from images in your document. The new feature is really fun to work with, and Adobe left all of the original panels intact as well, so we still have the original controls for Recolor Artwork.”
