3rd video in the making of Cheecky Monkey media. This video could be a bit boring for expert users, I just assign flat colors and organize the shapes into groups, it's very important when working on complex illustrations.

In the next video I will show how to assign gradients.

  • Your tutorials have been extremely helpful! I am as amateur as they come, and I am following along wonderfully thus far. Would it be possible for you to break this video down a little more for me, though? I'm having trouble knowing what you are doing exactly. Or is there a different tutorial better suited for my lack of experience? Thank you.

  • @momdlbl Google for "twisted monkey tutorial", it's a more detailed tutorial I wrote for my blog.

  • Hello, I am curious how you went from inking this in PS, to having selectable paths in Illustrator ? Did you live trace after creating the inked image in PS?

    If so, I really need to pick up a large tablet.. I am tired of creating my linework the HARD WAY in Illustrator by mouse.. (pen tool-ing every shape! Not fun!). Thanks! Cheers!

  • @HAMMERxHCA Yes, I used Live Trace. I would buy a Cintiq, inking with regular tablets it's a pain.

see all
