Welcome to Creating Microstock Vector Art
If you want to know how to get started in the world of Microstock as a vector artist or if you’re looking for specific information on how to create vector art that you can upload and sell, then you are at the right place.
Everything you need to get started can be found here. From the basics of using Illustrator’s pen tool or Corel’s Bezier tool to creating finished vector illustrations. Step-by-step tutorials and video tutorials take you from the process of creating simple shapes to creating specific vector illustrations from start to finish.
For those who are serious about joining the world of Microstock we offer a more in depth step-by-step program that takes you through the entire process from signing up with a Microstock agency, to creating a specific vector design, to uploading the design to the agency, to getting the illustration approved.
We also offer articles that cover subjects such as how to choose what to illustrate and what designers are looking for in vector images.
The intention of these tutorials is to help you to use the artistic skills that you have or are developing for the specific purpose of creating art for microstock.
If you are just starting out and have never created any kind of vector art then I suggest learning all that you can from our tutorials and practice until you feel confident that you can create what your mind imagines. There are beginner tutorails here such as Illustrator Pen Tool Introduction to help you get started and many of the tutorials come in both Illustrator and Corel versions.
If you are a more experienced vector artist you may discover some new techniques that you can use in your own creations. We will teach you how to cater your designs to the Microstock agencies. You'll also learn what the libraries are looking for and what kinds of subjects sell the most. Our goal is to show you how to create artwork that will be accepted into their collections.
