In this Illustrator tutorial you’ll learn how to set up a system, using symbols and artboards so that you can focus on the art instead of the constraints.
The hardest part of making game level art is coming up with a strategy that let's you make great art and not get stuck wasting time on the technical side of cutting it up, working within size constraints, and adapting to change requests.
