Go ahead and hit that like button, comment, subscribe, make sure you click post notifications so you will be notified anytime your boy drops a hit. And without further ado, let's jump right into this video. Okay, the first thing you want to do, you want to go ahead and set your template. And the template I use is just continue 18 by 18 inches. So that's the perfect size for if you want to load your artwork into Instagram, you know, I'm saying that's the perfect size I use. And I render all my pictures out in the PNG file. They give me like the best quality. So what we're going to do is we're going to select this picture, drop the opacity down. I'm going to lock that layer, create a new layer by clicking this blank sheet of paper. And we're going to set our pressure on the pressure. Change these bottom numbers to three. So if you ever wonder what type of brush I use, all I do is set my pressure sensitivity. And it give me that brush you always see me use in my videos. Take your time with your line work. Another thing I do, I got like the double monitor thing going on. So I put a extra image of the picture I'm drawing on the other monitor so I can kind of get I deal with what my line is supposed to do. I work your way through it. I'm like, you're feeding me new artists, a new digital artist. I would recommend you get you a tablet investing you a digital tablet once with the stream. Because it's like, it make it more easier to draw. And it make you like more faster. And it's more fun at the same time. Because it's always everything flow better. Make sure when you're doing your line work that you're closing off your lines. So you won't have no problem when it's time to use the coloring method. So I make sure like, make sure that when I'm drawing these lips, I'm closing off my lines at the end. I know opening to do the hair what we're going to do. I'll go back to our picture opacity up so we can see a little more detail. Then we're going to go to our pencil tool, right click in this. If you want to see my pencil settings, that's my pencil setting. So you can go ahead and copy that. Get the same settings I got. Okay, come out of that. Move this color black to the top and make sure this bottom color is cut off. So you can you know, I'm saying trace it and it a feeling. So what's this? No trace the hair. Try to make it like messy, that texture. And it saves you a lot of time too, as far as so you don't have to do all the coloring in on the hair. Lay out, we're going to go back to our brush, go back to our brush tool. I always try to make the top line of the eye more darker, brush a little smaller. Some of these hairs hold out. I ain't tying so it don't, so it don't look so robotic, like it's just, that's when you want to come in and brush again, put out some, you're gonna make this a little smaller on this side. Okay, as soon as you finish your line work, what you want to do? Highlight everything, put my keyboard out so y'all can see what I'm doing. First thing you want to do when you finish your line work, you want to select everything, the object, expand appearance, you want to go to your path finder and click merge, and that's going to make all your lines become one. The copy of your line work by dragging it to this blank sheet of paper, lock in the top copy, select in a second. Now, you want to select your base color to start out with, my red tangle tool, and drag that color over, my cartoon head, right click the color, go to arrange and send to back, and you will know if you did that step right, you will know if you did that step right, if you look over here and you see your line work on top of your color. Okay, now what you want to do, you want to highlight everything, your path finder and click merge, so your line work can become one with your color, and now what you want to do, you want to right click onto this to the color, go to isolate, select group, and now click on to the areas that's closed off and make changes, I want to delete this outer layer, layer by just hitting delete. Another thing I do too, so I want to make a mistake and select my line work like this, so I want to make a mistake and you know what I'm saying, knock it off and move it, what I do, I click this drop down menu over here, click it again, and I scroll down so I get to my last black line work, and I lock all the black lines, delete these top two unlock, then you close it. So now, you can get this arrow tool, you can select the colors that's in the hair, without it selecting the line work, making a mistake and selecting our line work, you just locked it, follow that shirt by clicking this arrow right here, isolate, select group, use this shirt to switch the colors out later, sometimes you got to keep here and isolate, select a group, highlight everything, we're going to start with our darker colors at the top and the bottom one is locked, we finish shade, and what I do, I really just look at the picture, look where all the dark shadows at, all our shadows, we can tweak the color, we're just looking at the original picture, the dark shadows it, and it takes some practice, you'll get better at it if you ain't that good at your shadows, the tool, this all over here, now that we did our dark shadows, what we're going to do, we're going to create another layer under our dark shadow layer, we're going to go a little lighter with the skin tone, so we're going to start with the skin tone, find a nice in between color, do the highlights on the face, so we're going to create one more layer under that layer, top of the skin, fade, make the two end colors dark, but you want to make it blend into another color, similar, both of the edges kind of similar with the colors, pull them a little closer together, you want to make the color in the center with a nice blend with the others, details to the dress, there you have it you guys, how to turn yourself into a cartoon head, make sure you hit that like button, come in, subscribe, more heat coming soon, and I'm out of this thing.
