In today's video we finna work on a cartoon head live. So without further ado, let's jump right into this thing. Okay first thing you want to do after you find your picture like always just let me see. I made a little photo like I say selfie shots. I go on instagram and I look for dope selfie shots that I want to use. After you find a picture you want to use you want to hold shift, drag the little corner until you get the perfect size you need then and I think that's gonna let it cool. Let it drop the opacity down. That's good. Create a new layer right above your picture and then if you're using a digital art tablet like me you want to set your pressure on your on your brush so you want to come right here hit this drop down menu right there go to a new brush hit okay then come right here to pressure and change the bottom two numbers to three and it'll automatically give you this brush you see me using every video and all it is is a pressure brush so if you press light it'll give you a light line if you press down hard it'll make it thick and then if you go back light it'll give you that effect you know what I'm saying so now that we created our brush let's make it a little smaller and what you want to do you want to hold control and the plus zoom in now when you're doing your cartoons man you got to make sure you're doing some clean line work anytime you mess up you want to hit control and z and just keep pressing control and z and what it's gonna do is gonna let you take a step back brush a little bigger okay now what we're gonna do we're gonna go to the pencil tool and we're gonna fill in all these thick black areas like the hair the eyebrows the beard the mustache so just come right here double click on I mean click on your brush tool right click it go to pencil tool move this color black to the top make sure the bottom on this lock underneath make sure your settings on your pencil tool look exactly like mine hit okay and now zoom in and what you do is you just draw out the areas you want it to fill in as you can see I'm giving it like the texture like a hair texture as I'm drawing it out oh that it's gonna fill that area in I like to go ahead and fill in my eyes with the pencil tool as well okay make sure you always find a good stopping point to save your work you know I'm saying just in case anything happened so let's go ahead and say what we did so far now while we're still on our pencil tool we're gonna do we're gonna come behind the drip and add the 3d effect as small as you can get it now we're gonna make it a 0.5 now we're gonna come back a little details now what we're gonna do we're gonna work on the fade so what I like to do I like to make a little patch of hair and then after I make it I like to use it as a stamp what I do is copy it make a selection around it hold alt and when I see the two arrows I just keep dragging we're gonna draw in manually to make it blend better we're gonna add more hair now that we finish with the line work what you want to do the object expand appearance click merge on your pathfinder so we can make all these lines become one line see how all those lines just became one big line merge all your lines you want to make a copy of your line work lock the top copy select the bottom copy and you want to find a base tone for the skin let's start out with this go to your rectangle tool after you find your color and drag that color over the entire picture right click the color go to arrange and send to back you'll know if you did this step right if you look over here at your layers and you see your line work sitting on top of the color now you want to highlight everything once again hit merge on your pathfinder then you want to right click color but isolate select group now we can delete or change any color that's cut off that's isolated from that outer color this area is isolated because I made sure when I drew it I made sure I didn't leave any openings hold shift the color more than one thing at a time another thing I like to do is come over here to our layers on our color layer hit the drop down menu and stroll down till you see your last black line line work and lock all the black line line works okay leave the top to unlock come over here to your white selection tool and now we get to delete all the little colors that's trapped inside the hair without deleting our line work because we just locked it so let's go ahead clean this up little colors that's trapped what I'm gonna do let's uh highlight everything go to edit edit color adjust color balance preview and I'm gonna tweak the skin tone just a little bit that's good for now let's change this lip color isolate select group that's why you need to make sure when you're doing your line work make sure you leave no openings so when it's time to isolate select a group you won't be coloring or having a difficult time trying to only color one area see I made sure these lips was closed off okay now that we got a nice base tone down what we finna do let's make a copy of our color layer just lock the bottom copy and turn the eye off let's go to the color layer that's in the middle get your white selection tool and we're gonna delete only the skin tone out of this layer make sure you delete all the colors that's trapped inside the hairs the skin tone out of that layer you can turn the eye back on on the bottom color layer create you a new layer in between those two so now when it's time for us to do our shadows it'll fall right behind the eyes and the mouth that's why we do that process right there so we ain't got to try to work around it we can work right through it and it'll fall right behind it so now let's go ahead and start with shading process so what I do is I sample the skin tone and I find me a nice shadow that blends into that color well I'm starting to do it right there hit okay go to your pencil tool make sure the bottom color layer is locked make sure the top one is open and I do all my shading with my pencil tool so what you want to do is you just want to look at the picture you're copying and just place the shadows exactly where you see them and I'm placing the shadows exactly where I see them in the photo every time I create a new shadow layer I put it on his own layer every time you go lighter with the tone or darker just make one layer for there you have it you guys how to make a cartoon head next level style you feel me make sure you stay tuned on heat coming soon and I'm out
