This is a WORLD full of resources dedicated to the aspiring artists of theOtaku of all kinds. The term 'artist' is not limited to the categories on theOtaku. Art can range from sculptures, photography, writing, film, graphic art, and much more! We will have a collection of various tutorials and references to offer that will help you improve and learn new skills in whatever you specialize. However, in order to improve, one must also receive feedback on their work. The members of the Creative Community will be available to provide critiques and aid you on your journey as an artist.

Along with the goal of assisting other artists, this is, after all, a community, and we would like to also make this a place where you can meet new people that share your same interests. This is a friendly haven that will hopefully bring together the many members of theO.

If you wish to join this community, please subscribe so you can receive notification on when new things are posted and fill out an application. Members who have subscribed and sent in an application will be given the Guest Poster privilege, and will be able to ask for critiques on their work. To maintain Guest Poster privilege, please provide critiques to other users so everyone can benefit.

This site is designed to run without a lot of supervision. Features such as critiques and corrections depend on the activity of members. Administrators have the responsibility of coming up with events and updating the website every now and then. So please act appropriately and stay friendly.

Illustrator CS6 Lesson Plan

This lesson plan is designed to meet the objectives of the Illustrator CS6 Adobe Certification Associate Program. Included in this lesson plan are links to several tutorials and resources with good note-taking material; This is just a collection of resources, so none of these tutorials are owned by me. Objectives 1, 2, and 5 mainly cover basic graphic design knowledge. Objects 3 and 4 are more focused on actually using Illustrator.

To search for anything in this lesson plan, use the tag ics6_objective# in the URL (e.g. ics6_1.1)
