Join 2D Illustrator Dan (“Delta Tango Mike”) Flores in this follow-along lab as he shares the creative process behind his alphabet coloring page created with his favorite apps: Illustrator on the iPad and Illustrator on the desktop. Discover how easy it is to start an illustration from a blank page, and then master the Pen tool and explore your creativity. Learn how to harness the power of Creative Cloud documents that sync between the iPad and the desktop — in this lab, a Surface Pro 7. Finally, you’ll finish your own alphabet coloring page by saving it in JPEG format to share on Behance and with the world.

In Part 1 of this three-part lab, you’ll learn how to create drawings with the Pen tool by:

• Building your Pen tool superpowers
• Using the Selection, Pencil, Blob Brush, and Direct Selection tools to help shape your drawing
• Saving and storing your brand-new illustration using cloud documents in Illustrator on the iPad
