Why would you need to learn to rasterize images? Well, for one thing, vector graphics are infinitely scalable. Also, this would give you the power to create SVG graphics which are graphics used for anything from Cricut to CNC machines. Also, in the surface pattern design industry, these types of files are commonly requested. So why not choose to learn a little bit more about how to create these today? Illustrator on the iPad lets you convert raster images, or sketches (JPEG, PNG, PSD, and more) to vector art with the vectorize (Image Trace) tool. You can place an image from your iPad on the artboard, or capture an image from the built-in camera, and convert it to a vector artwork which is fully editable. 

The class will show how I take a pencil drawing and use the vectorize feature to change the image into a vector graphic that they I can edit.

“This feature is especially powerful for creatives, who save time with the ability to go from paper sketches to designing on the iPad quicker, and gain the freedom to create anywhere with the mobility of the iPad and Apple Pencil,” noted Adobe.

This class, Vectorizing Using the iPad Version of Illustrator, will show you some of my vectorization methodology, and ways to adjust the settings in the app to get the best tracing possible. I do a side-by-side comparison of two methods, one incorporating Procreate. In the class, I take you from start to finish. I use this method myself to be sure the art I create is completely editable.
