I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software and share with you the tutorial on creating the cartoon animal role Angela.
Tutorial sharing:
1. First, a template is required. In fact, a simple sketch is enough. Draw everything you want on paper and scan it to your computer.
Place AI, double-click the layer where the image is located, select the template, and then modify the dimmed image to 25% so that the subsequent path can be drawn.
2. Create a new layer.
Set a clear color so that the path drawn in the future will be easily recognized (that is, when the object on the layer is selected, the path will display the color ).
3. Transform the draft, draw a circle similar to the head, and set the opacity to 50%.
4. The directly drawn ellipse cannot be the general contour of the head. Use the direct selection tool to adjust the chart points until the draft requirements are met.
Tip: The smaller the number of points on the object, the smoother the path.
5. Draw the lower part of the body with a circle and draw the neck. In this case, it is best to open the intelligent reference line. When the pen moves to the edge of the circle, a "stroke" will appear. Pay attention to the area marked in the figure. It is more accurate and convenient to draw.
6. Now Angela's outline has come out. Make them into a whole. Select all the parts, and press Alt to click "add to shape area" in the path finder. Don't forget Angela's feet.
7. Eyes are the most expressive part. Please note! Create a new layer named "face" and set the opacity to facilitate painting. Use an elliptical tool to draw the eyes, and use the ShiftAlt key to draw the nostrils and eyes.
8. Draw Angela's mouth and extend the path. The position and direction of your mouth on your face may affect your mood. If you are free, you can study QQ or MSN expressions.
9. Angela does not seem to have any stereoscopic effect. Next, let's change it. Select the general outline and select "effect-style-Inner Light". Mode: The front pane is stacked, and the color is a little darker than Angela. The light color does not show the effect. Select and set to edge light. Other parameters are for reference and may not be satisfactory. Use the same method to make a stereoscopic effect on your eyes.
10. Eye highlights are usually highlighted in white with opacity to improve the effect.
It is best to draw a drawing in PS first and then scan it into PS.
Sometimes, to eliminate the background color and improve the line recognition degree, you can use the color level and other tools to adjust the manuscript.
The advantage of using templates in AI is to reduce the contrast of the image, so that the path can be easily identified during painting.
Okay. Let's continue with the tutorial yesterday.
11. Some highlights need to be implemented using gradient. In cs4, the opacity of a certain color in the gradient can be adjusted separately.
In the figure, I will make the following two suggestions for how to create the effects in other versions:
A. Draw A white filling object and blur the object to adjust the opacity.
B. Draw the object, fill in the radial gradient in the default color palette, set the pattern to filter, and finally adjust the opacity.
12. Draw Angela's abdominal and back highlights in the same way as above. On both sides of the mouth, we use red, just like the cheek blushing we usually see, to highlight its lovely side.
Cheek blushing can make the face cheek show healthy and rosy colors, increasing aesthetic and health.
Angela's cheek blushing is the most common and simple round cheek blushing. That is, when you smile, the cheek blushing is painted in the circle at the position of the smiling muscle raised on both cheeks. Then, we can see that the cheek blushing is correctly painted on Angela's cheek.
13. Further details, such as ears and feet. In the forefoot part, you only need to consider the trend of the upper curve, and then "intersection with the shape area" with the copied overall contour.
14. The tail is essential to Angela. After being painted with a color that is a little deeper than the body, use the "inner light" method in Step 9 to create a stereoscopic effect ."
15. Further details. Paste the front of the ear drawn in step 1, and then use the black and white gradient to make the dark details.
16. The neck connecting the body will also be under the shadow of the face, so we can draw this part.
For versions earlier than cs4, you can use "opacity mask" for these shadows. The suggestions are as follows:
1. Draw and copy shadow outlines;
2. Click "create opacity mask" in the opacity palette pop-up menu ";
3. Click "mask object" on the right of the palette, and then "paste the front ";
4. Fill in the black and white gradient for the masked object, and then adjust the gradient and opacity.
17. Make the shadow of the foot according to the above steps. Are there any new discoveries in the path drawing method? If possible, adding some inner light may be different.
18. There will always be shadows on objects standing on the ground. How can Angela be an exception? The name Angela reminds me of Angela in Dragon Ball and the pirate MM Angela in the recent game "the sword of excellence. In fact, Angela is just Angie. Chinese is really broad.
19. Finally, the shadow object will be painted with a feather (effect-style-feather. Here, the feather radius of PX is just my parameter, and the size still needs to be mastered by myself (it can also be blurred with Gaussian in the ps effect, but it is not vector ).
20. You may find the text strange when you see the above picture, because the original author's tutorial is in German. Therefore, this compilation is really difficult for me. I spent a lot of time checking a lot of online dictionaries, and many comments and text descriptions are all understood by myself based on my previous experience (& and; & perp; <g id = "1"> </g>.
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial on drawing cartoon animal role Angela for all the users of this software of Illustrator, as you can see here, I believe that you are very clear about the drawing method. Then, you can draw the cartoon animal role Angela according to the small series tutorial.
