What Supplies Do You Need?
Here's exactly what you need to take full advantage of the Doodles Coaching Week:
- A computer or a laptop. You can use a Mac computer or a PC computer - either is fine.
- A subscription to Adobe Illustrator. Click HERE to get it now or wait and download the free trial on Wednesday when the Coaching Week starts.
- A few of your sketches or doodles. Keep it simple! The goal is to get you to the finish line with a repeating pattern that works. Bring 1-3 very simple doodles or sketches to the live training.
- A smartphone or a scanner. You'll import one of your sketches by taking a photo of it or by scanning it. Either works just fine.
- Your enthusiasm, creativity and joy!
Hi there! I'm Anne LaFollette
Thank you so much for joining the Doodles Coaching Week! Everything starts on Wednesday, January 11 and you're in for real, hands-on, practical, step-by-step training with me.
By the end of the Coaching Week, you'll have mastered the basics of how to use Adobe Illustrator to create a repeating pattern from your doodles or sketches.
You'll hear me say this often: Keep it simple! We can get fancy later.
Why, you ask? Because the goal of this Coaching Week is for you to get comfortable inside a program that you've probably never opened before. I've got you, my friend! I opened it for the very first time myself in my late 50's. If I can do it, so can YOU!
If you keep your doodles or sketches simple to start, you'll be able to focus on the steps you must follow to create your repeating pattern correctly. It's the steps that matter at the beginning. Not the design!
Once you've mastered the steps, Adobe Illustrator becomes another creative tool in your tool box.
Sounds great, right?
I can't wait to get started!
xo,
Anne
