In this module you’ll learn how to draw a map from scratch, in Illustrator. Even if you don’t imagine you’ll ever create a map, this is still very much worth engaging with, as the approaches can be used for a multitude of illustration styles.
In this lesson you’ll set up a new document, find an image to trace, then import it and set up the first couple of foundational layers for the map.
