Give your illustrator software users a detailed explanation to share a tutorial on how to draw the effects of a colorful and awesome Christmas turkey.
First, prepare the profile of the good players
Download the tutorial included with the 001. The JPG micro-disk downloads the file and opens it in illustrator. You can also draw one on the paper by yourself and then scan it into the computer.
Copy this hand profile into a new file and select Object-image trajectory-create to convert contour lines to vector graphics.
Expands the new hand contour that is converted to a vector object.
I changed the color of the contour to dark Violet (color code #330033) and used the mix brush tool to draw the Turkey's beak and point a little bit to show the eyes--our turkeys are already in shape.
Use the Rectangle tool to draw a large rectangle on your drawing board and place it below the hand contour layer in the Layers panel. Using the gradient panel, set the color of the gradient fill for the rectangle to: from #99876d to #6d5e5b, or any background color you like.
Select the hand contour layer, and then add a gradient from 100% to the deep magenta to 0%.
Coloring the head of a turkey
In this tutorial, I find it more comfortable to draw with a pencil tool. Draw the beak shape on the beak and use the gradient tool to fill the gradient with the color from the opacity 100% #ff9933 to the #330033 of the opacity 0%.
The next step is the wattle of the Turkey (which helps to cool down). I used the pencil tool to draw the outline and use the gradient tool, which is the opacity 100% #ff6666 to the opacity 0% of the pure black.
The neck of the Turkey is made up of a series of transparent, tapered petal shapes. (You must be proficient in the use of layers and pencil tools in this step!)
1, first use the Ellipse tool to draw a dark purple small circle, as the eye. Then draw the shape of the petals behind the eyes, using pink or purple.
2, pay attention to the upper layer of the neck covered by the shape, they have rounded top and fan the lower part. In the transparency panel, reduce the saturation of the layers on which the shapes are located and then use the gradient tool to color them.
3, continue to draw this pattern along the neck of the Turkey, pay attention to their posture toward Zo Zhangkai.
4, the outline of the thumb contains the head and neck of the turkey, note that the total is six pieces of the shape of the turkey's neck. Group these objects for the next action (be careful not to include the profile of the hand).
Many people would think that turkeys should be gray or brownish yellow. However, many turkeys have a variety of bright colours, from purple to green.
In the Turkey's head and top, or your thumb part, draw a chunk of this shape. Use the gradient tool to add gradients with a color of 100% opacity to the same color as #6798ff to 0% opacity. Use the gradient tool to adjust the shape of the gradient so that it is oval rather than rounded.
In the appearance options, adjust the blending mode of the object to overlay and adjust the blending mode of the gradient to soft light so that the texture of the turkey has a soft blue color.
Use the Oval tool to draw a positive circle behind the Turkey's head. Use the gradient tool to draw a gradient with a color range of 100% opacity to the same color as #fef35d to 0% opacity. Adjust blending mode to filter in the Appearance panel.
Draw a rectangle on the background and select the effect--sketch--note paper. The image balance is adjusted to 18, the grain is adjusted to 8, and the adjustment is 11. Adjust the opacity as needed to create a finer texture effect.
Third, draw the detail characteristic
Next we're going to start doing some "hands and feet" on the turkey. In the Brush panel, choose to open the Brush library--The vector bag--the smudge brush. Using the Brush tool, select the fourth brush from the top, and then draw a picture of the Turkey's beak to the wattle area. Use the Transform tool to change the size of the stroke and apply the gradient effect that was previously applied to the Wattle section to the stroke.
Change another stain brush and apply blue, pink and purple around the turkey to create a more realistic rendering effect.
Next, make a turkey feather after the neck. Use the Pencil tool to draw the shape shown in the following figure and copy it two times, and finally get the graphic shown on the right by zooming and moving. Then use the gradient tool to add a gradient for each shape. The colors used are useful in all of the above.
Group the three shapes and then copy them several times and rotate them as a turkey feather below the neck.
Draw a large, transparent, dark purple shape with a pencil or pen tool, just as you did when you were drawing the neck of the turkey. And then just keep repeating, knowing what the picture looks like.
In the symbol panel, select open the Symbol Library--grime column (figure) and then choose a suitable shape from a variety of dots. Then use the spray tool to "spray out" a dots of choice.
Right-click on the dots and select "Unlink the symbol" to convert it to a vector graphic. Select the color or gradient you think fit to fill it, and then place the stacking order below the turkey. You can continue to add other dots according to your needs.
Four, create finger graphics
Draw the drawing on the palm and note the contour range of the finger, and then add the gradient. Here I draw a total of nine graphs as shown in the figure.
Select the shapes and group them, select the object-path-path offset, and adjust the offset to-6 to make the graphic shrink.
Copy and rotate the previously drawn feather and cover it full with the palm contour. You can also continue to add ink to make it look like the turkey is being drawn.
Now to the key step, the finger shape is made. Use a pencil or pen tool to draw four shapes on your finger and place them below the layer where the other parts of the turkey are located.
Use the Gradient tool to add a gradient to each shape, which is a gradient of 100% opacity to 0% opacity. Colors, from left to right, are blue #6794f4, green 1a815f, Yellow #f7b819, and red #671431. Use the BLOB Brush tool to add lines and inks that are the same color as these shapes.
Since we have a hand contour line, we can modify the background without modifying other objects.
Copy the manual contour line from the beginning of the tutorial, using the DOT Brush tool to draw at the point of the hand type, making the hand path closed.
Select each of these two hand paths and merge them in the path lookup panel.
Use the direct selection tool to select the internal path and delete it.
Apply a gradient to your layer.
I chose the first strong background color and added the opacity of the change: The hand Center is generally opaque, and the edge of the hand type is transparent.
Well, the above information is a small series for you illustrator of this software users brought to the detailed mapping of the colorful Christmas turkey effect of the full content of the share, you see the users here, small series believe that you see here is very clear the way to draw it, Then you should go to the tutorial to draw your own favorite color of the Christmas turkey.
