I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software and share with you the tutorials on drawing cute cartoon babies with the mouse.
Tutorial sharing:
First, let's talk about babies: babies are children under 1 years of age. At this stage, the baby grows rapidly, which is the most vigorous stage of growth in a person's life.
① The weight can reach 3 times at birth, about-grams.
② The length of a person is about 50 cm at birth. Generally, the length increases by 3-3.5 cm every month, to 10-12 cm at the time of 4 months, and the length of a person at the age of 1 is about 1.5 times that at the time of birth.
③ The head circumference was about 34 cm at birth, an increase of 8-10 cm in the first six months, an increase of 2-4 cm in the next six months, and an average of 46 cm at the age of 1. In the future, the growth rate slows down, which is about 56-58 cm for adults.
④ The bust is 1-2 cm smaller than the head circumference at birth. By the end of the baby's 4 months, the bust is basically the same as the head circumference.
⑤ The baby is still in rapid development of the brain for a period of time after birth, and the number of brain nerve cells continues to increase. The support of adequate and reasonable nutrients (especially high-quality protein) is required, therefore, the demand for calories, protein and other nutrients is particularly strong.
I will introduce you to the introduction of baby. Next, let's go to the topic.
First open the AI software
1] execute the File menu & rarr; create the command [set canvas: the name is cute baby, the number of artboards is 1, the size is A4, the width is 21 cm, the height is 29.7 cm, the unit is centimeter, the orientation is vertical] as shown in the figure
Next, let's take a look at the final effect chart.
2] we mainly draw in three parts: head, body stem, and limbs. Press CTRL + R to open the ruler, select the tool in the toolbar, drag the reference line from the ruler bar, determine the proportion reference line of the head, trunk, and limbs, and set the reference line according to Figure 2-2.
Next, we use the line section tool in the toolbar to show the approximate outline, name this layer as the draft layer, and follow the steps shown in the figure below
2-2. You can use the oval tool in the toolbar to sketch the header. Note that this is just a draft. We will adjust it in detail later.
3] we will draw from the baby's head, create a new layer, change the name of this layer to the header, select the pen tool in the toolbar, and draw the head type, as shown in Figure 3-1
Select the line segment tool to determine the approximate position of the five senses, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Draw the following eyebrows and select the pen tool [fill color disabled, stroke color is set to 8E0507 or R: 142/G: 5/B: 7] as shown in Figure 3-3
Use the black arrow to select the outlines of the two eyebrows, SHIFT + X on the keyboard to swap the stroke color and fill color, as shown in Figure 3-4.
4] Let's draw the baby's eyes. Let's take a look at the final effect chart.
Some may say they did not expect the eyes to be so complicated! In fact, these eyes mainly use the elliptical tool. Select the elliptical tool in the toolbar, press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + F9 to open the gradient panel [set gradient: type to linear, angle 90, left color block to D7DE23 or R: 215/G: 222/B: 35; the color block on the right is 0FAF4B or R: 15/G: 175/B: 75. Opacity and position are both default. The stroke color is disabled. Draw an ellipse, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Follow the same method to continue the elliptic plot. You only need to change the gradient color. [set gradient color: type to linear, angle 90, left color block to AAAAAA or R: 170/G: 170/B: 170; the color block on the right is 5A5A5A or R: 90/G: 90/B: 90. Opacity and position are both default. The stroke color is disabled, and an ellipse is drawn, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Continue to draw the ellipse, set the fill color to black, and disable the stroke color, as shown in Figure 4-3
Continue to draw the eye White, also select the elliptic, set the fill color to white, the stroke color is disabled, draw the effect as shown in Figure 4-4
Finally, we draw the eyelashes and select the pen tool to draw the shape as shown in Figure 4-5.
Use the black arrow to select the outlines of the two eyebrows, SHIFT + X on the keyboard to swap the stroke and fill colors, and place them according to the effect shown in Figure 4-6.
5] Below we will plot the baby's small nose and mouth. The small nose is easy to draw here. Select the pen tool to disable the fill color, set the stroke color to red, and the stroke width to 2. The effect is shown in Figure 5-1.
Next, draw the mouth, select the pen tool, disable the fill color, set the stroke color to red, and the stroke width to 2, as shown in Figure 5-2 and 5-3.
Use the black arrow tool to select the outline of the header and set the fill color to FAC7B3 or R: 250/G: 199/B: 179, as shown in Figure 5-4.
Select all the parts drawn in the header with a black arrow and group them.
6] open the layer panel, create a new layer, and name the layer as the body. Next, draw the baby's trunk and leg, and take a look at the effect.
We draw from the chest and limbs respectively. First draw the chest, also select the pen tool, disable the fill color, set the stroke color to black, draw the effect as shown in Figure 6-1
Use the black arrow to select the newly drawn outline and set the fill color to FCDED1 or R: 252/G: 222/B: 209, as shown in Figure 6-2.
Continue to select the pen tool or pencil tool, and draw the hand section below, as shown in Figure 6-3
Use the black arrow to select two hands and set the fill color to FCDED1 or R: 252/G: 222/B: 209. The stroke color is disabled, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Next, draw the baby's pants, and select the pen tool to disable the fill color, as shown in Figure 6-5.
Set the fill color to blue or your favorite color. The gradient is also great, as shown in Figure 6-6.
Finally, we will draw the legs, or select the pen tool to disable the fill color and draw the effects as shown in Figure 6-7.
Select the drawn two legs with the black arrow tool and set the fill color to FCDED1 or R: 252/G: 222/B: 209. The final effect is shown in the figure below.
All right, the above information is the detailed mouse drawing tutorial for the users of Illustrator's software, all users have seen this, and I believe that everyone is very clear about the drawing method, so everyone is going to follow the small series of tutorials to draw their own cute cartoon baby.
