In today's video, I will be teaching you guys how to make a cartoon head using your mouse only. So without further ado, let's jump right into this video. Okay, first thing you wanna do is drag and drop the picture you're gonna be using. So when you do that, just hold shift and grab the corners so we can bring the sides up, okay? And you wanna make it pretty big too cause it's hard to control your mouse so the bigger your picture you're tracing, it'll make your job a lot more easier. Okay, let's drop the opacity down some. About right there, let's lock that layer, create us a new layer right above it. Now you wanna come over here to the polygon tool. Make sure the bottom color is locked and your top color is black, okay? Hold shift to make it even. Okay, after you do that, you want to, let me see, I think it's, yeah, out. Hold out now and grab this little corner. Let's move it up some about right there. Now we're gonna drag this down, let's pull it on down. All right, let's see, just a little tad more, all right there. Okay, this line we just created is gonna be our brush. So what you wanna do, you wanna highlight it, let's go to new brush. Then you wanna go to art brush and you wanna hit okay. You wanna hit okay again and there it go right there in our brush layers. Now we can come over here to our paint brush and that's the brush we just created. You hear me? Let's go to brush size, the stroke size. Let's bring it down some, okay, that's pretty good. Now what you wanna do, you wanna come over here and move your smoothness up about right there. Now let's zoom in and the method we gonna use to pull this off is overshootin' our lines. Man, that's a nice look. I wanna make it smaller than that. Let's go a little smaller. Let's go to a 0.25, okay. And now so let me try to move this smoothness all the way up, let's try to see what type of effect we get, try this line one more time. That's pretty good and we just gonna go through hold control and the minus button to zoom out. We just gonna overshoot these lines. I'm using my mouse too guys, I promise you. Overshootin' these lines, bring this over. I'm pretty decent with these mouse. Let's clean up some of these lines, man. So let's highlight everything we just created. Let's go to object, expand appearance and then we gonna go to our path finder that's in your windows tab and on your path finder you wanna hit divide. After you hit divide, you wanna come to this white selection tool and we gonna delete the lines that's crossin' over by tapping delete twice, delete that. And every line that we, that's crossin' the line that we don't want, we gonna get rid of it. So it's gonna look like we just got some smooth lookin' line work, you feel me? Delete all this, let's zoom in. You know what, I'm gonna delete this too, I don't need that. Let me zoom in, close them. I was so dope about that, that divide tool on your path finder, cause it really made these lines look like they was created with a digital art tablet, you feel me? Just a mythic, let me see how it's looking so far. Okay, it's comin' together. It's a little time consuming, but it's worth it. Delete this, oh yeah, I almost forgot this line. Now let's see what we lookin' like. Not pretty much, y'all should get the concept of how we gonna make this picture look like a masterpiece. Let me go back to my brush tool, and it's at a one point. We might make that line a little smaller, but we gonna see, let's do the outline of the face. Let's try to bring this over. Hopefully we can make it go into that next line. Smooth, just like that. Look at it real quick. Zoom into this ear, and we gonna steady hand, steady hand, that was steady hand. We gonna always shoot this line right there. Okay, perfect. Let's start the line right here. Eyebrows, bring it on through, stop it right there. See what we lookin' like. I like to step back a lot when I'm drawing. All right, it's lookin' clean, it's comin' together. All right, let's go and finish this. And then here it up. Make my brush smaller, zero point 25 again. Go get the teeth, bring this over, got this one. Do the inner detail of this ear by comin' up, bringin' this over in this line. Like I said, y'all, it's time to zoom in. But if you ain't got no digital art tablet, it's all worth it. Trust me, circle two, I'm trippin'. Just bring it this way, just make the size a little bigger. Let's hold off so we can make it 3D. Now let's go back through and clean these lines up. So what we gonna do, we gonna highlight everything. We gonna go to object, expand the pinch. We gonna go back to object and do it again because when we made this circle tool, we used a symbol. So to turn that symbol into the line word, you gotta do it twice. You gotta go back to object and then you gotta hit expand and hit okay. Now just turn that symbol into a regular line and then you hit divide. Go to your white selection tool and let's go clean them lines up. We overshot, delete twice, delete that. Let's strobe look, this line overshot. Keep that line, let's delete this. Let's draw these eyebrows. Make our brush as small as we can get it. I don't know what my job's still going to be, hold up. Let me go to, okay there we go. Let's highlight all this right here. Go to object, expand, click divide. So my white selection tool, we're going to delete these lines. We overshot right here until we looking like okay, okay. For the thick line, start right here, bring it on cross. So let that line, let's bring it down some to a 0.75. So that top line will be, I'm gonna move it up some to, probably right there, 0.25, nice and sharp, all right. Let's go to our pencil tool. Make sure your settings on your pencil tool look exactly like you see here and let's move this smoothness all the way up, hit okay. Make sure your color black is on top and your bottom one is locked. Let's go ahead and fill this in. Y'all see I got a steady hand with my mouse. Uh-oh, I need to move that smoothness down. So I'm gonna hit Ctrl Z to delete that because it's correcting it too much. We don't want it corrected too much. Fill all this in like that, like you have Dill. Come on this side, fill all this in, you see what I'm finna do, I'm gonna create this shadow right here and notice how I'm finna do this. I'm gonna overshoot my line, right? Y'all notice how I overshot my line. I'm gonna highlight this. For the object, expand, click Divide, go to my white selection tool and delete that. So I can have that shadow on that side of that nose. Y'all see me? Y'all see me? All right, let me brain this. I have this shadow right here, like that. I overshot my line again, select all this, go to object, expand, hit Divide, go to your path finder and we're gonna delete this. Get the white selection tool, you know what I'm saying? So, very quick, that thing looking, looking super nice, just a little area, like that, on this side, do the same thing. Look crease right here, also make these eyelashes drip down a little lower, so they can have a little thickness to them on this side. We in the game. Let me go back one more time, hold all this together, go to object, merge on that path finder, let's make a copy of the line word, lot of top copy. Make sure you got the second copy selected and I'm gonna go to my swatches. Let's import the Cheeworld skin tones. If you would like to buy this skin tone pack, the link will be in the description below. So let me go find it on my desktop and this is how you import it for those who's going to buy this skin tone pack of mines. What you want to do, you want to come to Swatches, right?

Let me go find it on my desktop real quick and it's right here, Cheeworld skin tones and you just double click it and it's gonna pop up in your Adobe Illustrator. So now, let's start coloring this character, man. Let's go to the rectangle tool. Make sure your color is at the top and the bottom on this lock. Drag that color over the entire picture. Then you want to right click the color, go to arrange, send to back. Then you want to highlight it all again and click merge. So the color can become one with the line work. After you do that, you want to right click the color, go to isolate, select the group and we're gonna delete this outer color like that. Let's hold shift and select this inner eye area. And then we're gonna select white, right in here. Once again, make this white and a little color. I'm telling you, man, this skin tone pack on coming handy, make your mood faster too. You see how quick I'm finding these colors. Hold this, dark, these earrings, make this part. Let's do this. Let's hit this drop down menu on the color layer we just created. You want to stroll down to your last black line work and we just gonna lock the black lines. Keep the top two unlocked and close it. Create a copy of the color layer, lock the bottom copy and turn the eye off. Go to the one in the middle, go to your white selection tool and we only on delete the skin tone out of this layer. Keep everything else, just delete the skin tone. Like this, now that we got that deleted, we're gonna bring this bottom layer back, turn the eye back on and we're gonna create a new layer in between these two. And it's gonna be our shadow layer. So now let's go back to our pencil tool and let's draw some shadows. Okay, I mean, we'll start right here. And this is my favorite, y'all already know. This is my favorite part. We'll stay the hand, first shadow, knock down, let go, let go. Let me select those colors we just made. Let's see how that look darker. We'll just leave it right there for now.
