To you illustrator software users to detailed analysis of the design to create a watercolor painting effect of the figure of the tutorial.
1, perhaps you will say: "Ai has not already provided watercolor pen?" Yes, it's just that we're going to create a brush with a soft edge, a perfect blend of edges that looks like a real watercolor pen.
At first you have to set it in the Pencil tool, double-click the Pencil tool (N) in the toolbox, and pop Up the Pencil Properties dialog box. Set the fidelity to 0.5px.
2. Use the Pencil tool (n) to draw the shape of the stroke, with a height of 0.25 inches 2 inches in length. At first it may not be very accurate, as long as the rough size of the line. Be sure to create a rough edge in the stroke to get the effect of "permeating color" in the watercolor. Also, be sure to close the stroke shape path that you created. This is simple, hold down ALT as you end the path. Finally, the shape is filled with white and no strokes.
3. Next, still use the Pencil tool (n) to draw a small circle of strokes within the shape you just created, and the path cannot coincide. If the first shape is white and you don't see it clearly, when you draw the second shape, keep the first shape selected, the problem is solved. After the painting, use 40% black for the new shape fill color, no strokes.
4. Draw a third shape inside the second shape. Remember to close the path and do not allow overlapping. Use a 30% black fill with no stroke.
After 5, three shapes are done, select three shapes at the same time, using object-mix-Create (ctrl+b) to mix the three. If the blending is not smooth, be sure to check to see if the shape is closed or overlapping. You can also check the blending options by using the object-mix-mix option to make sure it is set to a smooth color. Select the Mixed object and select Multiply in the Drop-down menu in the transparency panel.
6. Next, select the Blend object with the selection tool (v) and drag it into the brush panel. When the New Brush dialog box opens, select Create a new art brush, and the New Art Brush Options dialog box pops up. Find the coloring method at the bottom of the dialog box and choose Color from the Drop-down menu. Choosing colors allows you to change the color of the brush without creating a new brush.
7, now create a watercolor art brush. Use the brush tool to paint or apply to any path. Don't stop here, just like the brushes at the bottom of this post can be downloaded, create some other brushes.
8. Watercolor Scatter Brush
Scatter brush using watercolor spots in the Vectortuts tutorial, let's review how it was created.
Use the Ellipse tool (i) to create an ellipse, roughly 0.25*0.25 inches. With a 40% black fill, no stroke.
9. Next, use the Pencil tool, which is set to the same in the above art brush, and then create a blown shape around the ellipse. Again, the path must be closed. Fill the shapes with white, no strokes, use objects-arrange-and arrange them behind the ellipse.
10, two shapes are all selected to create a blend. Then select a positive overlay in the Transparency panel's Drop-down menu.
11. Next, drag the mixed object into the brush panel. Select to create a new scatter brush and select the following settings in the dialog box that pops up.
Size = Select random from Drop-down menu, fill in 10% in the first field, and fill in the second 155%.
spacing = Select random from Drop-down menu, fill in 10% in the first field, and fill in the second 80%.
Distribution = Select random from Drop-down menu, fill in the first field 150%, and second fill 150%.
Rotate = Select random from Drop-down menu, fill in first field 180 degrees, second fill 180 degrees.
Coloring method = Select color
12, now there will be a beautiful watercolor scatter-point brush. As you can see in watercolor art brushes, try different shapes and different scatter brush options.
Well, the above information is small set to you illustrator of this software users of the detailed design to create a watercolor effect of the figure of the tutorial analysis share of the whole content, you see the users here, small series believe that you see here is very clear the method of drawing it, Then everyone quickly to follow the small share of the tutorial themselves to draw a watercolor effect of the figure bar.
