Vector Basic Training: A Systematic Creative Process for Building Precision Vector Artwork
Von Glitschka
Why we picked it
Teaches a disciplined way to build clean vector art: sketch first, analyze the shapes, then construct them with accurate curves and the right number of anchor points. It is not a software manual, and the methods apply in Illustrator, Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW or Inkscape. This second edition adds a chapter on color and detail, plus access to more than seven hours of video. Valuable for anyone redrawing logos as clean vector files.
