Live Event: Illustrator Live with Laura Coyle
January’s Illustrator Live with Laura Coyle is all about working between Fresco and Adobe Illustrator. Laura will take some artwork from Fresco and import it into Illustrator, clean up the excess anchor points and look at other ways of making the workflow between these 2 apps more efficient.
Do you have any special questions that Laura can answer for you? Ask her here.
The presentation date is Tuesday, 1/26/21 at 11 am Eastern. A link will be sent out in the morning, but you can also find it here.
You can watch Laura’s last presentation on using the Recolor Art Tool here.

Design Heroes: Yayoi Kusama
We are delighted to kick off a new monthly post series for 2021, created by Lab member Stephanie Chauvel (@stephanie-chauvel here in the Lab, @sc_patterndesign on Instagram.) Inspired by Lesson One of The Sellable Sketch where students are asked to identify and “walk in the shoes” of their favorite design hero, Stephanie brought to us the brilliant idea to focus on a different design hero each month as a group here in the Lab.
Textile Prints with Fizah Malik: Non Prints
We are thrilled to announce that we just released a new tutorial in the Lab by the fabulous Fizah Malik!
This is the third in a series of tutorials that she has created for the Lab that will be released over the next few months. In this tutorial Fizah shares her technique for creating non prints.

Weekly Art Critiques. Please join the TDL community on THURSDAY at 1 PM Eastern for a live art critique.
