In today's video, I will be showing you guys how to make a cartoon of yourself. So without further ado, let's jump right into this video. First thing you want to do, you want to drag and drop the picture right inside the Adobe Illustrator, hold SHIFT to make it bigger, who is why I got to select it. Come up here to Opacity and drop that down some, after you drop the opacity down what you want to do, you want to just lock that layer, create you a new layer right above it. And now we finish set our pressure sensitivity so the only way you can get this option if you're using a digital art tablet, I repeat, the only way you can get this option if you're using a digital art tablet, you cannot get pressure options using your mouse. This what you do, you come right here, go to new brush, hit OK, then you want to come to pressure, hit 3, and then select 3, hit OK. Now what we're going to do, we're going to make our line words. So what you want to do, you want to zoom in your picture, zoom in as close as you can so you can make some clean lines, add some finer details. Now what I'm doing now, I'm going to make like a hair patch so it'll make this part easy. Instead of having to draw the hairs, we're just going to make a few of them. We're going to copy this, hold ALT, and we're just going to drag and paste at the same time. Drag and paste. So that brought us some time, you know what I'm saying? But we're still going to blend it in, we're just drawing more so it don't look so computerized. If you're making your own patches of hair, it'll buy you time but you got to know when to use it because you don't want to do that too much or it'll start looking crazy, it won't look nice. But if you blend it in with drawing it and printing it at the same time, copying and pasting it, it'll give you a nice little realistic looking texture. It's all about how much time you put into your work as well, you know what I'm saying? Take your time, put some time into it. The end results will come out real nice if you just really add some finer details to your pictures. It's looking nice. Let's get over here, work on these eyebrows. I like to do like the outer hairs first and then I fill in the center. I always try to come up with different little techniques as well, you know what I'm saying? Experiment. It's all about when you're trying to create these hairs, just try to be consistent, you know what I'm saying? Like I'm doing one motion. The insides, I just add them more hairs, making it flow, just making it all flow. Now what I'm about to do is I'm about to make my brush a little bigger so it'll look fuller on the inside, but I'm just going to stand in the center with the brush that's coming to the top. Come to this side, let's do the same thing, we're just going to go right in the center to make it full. That's good. I'm going to come back to my small brush so I can finish adding the little small pieces of hair. What we're about to do is we're about to go to our pencil tool, move this black color to the top, make sure your bottom color is locked. Let's go ahead and fill in these eyes and just, we're going to come back and put detail inside them later, but for now we're just going to fill them in and make them black. So we're going to use this pencil tool to fill in this beard and try to officially finish with the line work. Now that we finished with the line work, what you want to do, I'm going to highlight everything, go to object, expand appearance, then you want to click merge on your path finder. After you do that, you want to come right here to your line work and drag it down to this blank sheet of paper to make a copy. Lock the top copy, make sure you got the bottom copy selected. Now you want to find a nice skin tone to start with. You want to go to your rectangle tool and drag that color over the entire picture. Right click the color, go to arrange, send to back, highlight everything, then you want to go to merge on your path finder so the color can become one with your line work. Now you want to right click the color, isolate select group and you can delete the outer color. Another thing I like to do, I like to hit this drop down menu, hit it again, stroll down until I see my last black line work, keep strolling and once you see the last black line work, you want to lock all your black lines, just hold the lock button and keep these top two unlocked, then you want to close it. Now isolate select group, hold shift to color more than one thing at a time. Let's tweak these colors a little bit, all you got to do is highlight everything, then you want to come up here to object, I mean you want to go to edit, you want to go to edit color, then I'm going to go to adjust color balance, hit OK, arrow tool, and just delete these colors that's trapped inside the hairs. That's why we lock all our black lines, so this can be a lot easier and we can delete all these colors without making a mistake and deleting our line work. Now what we're going to do, we're going to make a copy of our color layer, lock the bottom copy, turn the eye off, go to the copy that's in the center, while we still got our white selection tool selected, we're going to delete the skin tone, only the skin tone. Now that we deleted the skin tone out that layer we can bring the full color layer back, create us a new layer in between those two, and now it's going to be the layer we do all our shading on for the skin tone, so sample the skin tone, now let's find a nice shadow for it right there, go to my pencil tool, make sure the color is at the top, and your bottom one is locked, so now let's add our shadows and there you have it you guys, how to make a cartoon head, thank you guys for watching, make sure you stay tuned while he comes to my body thing.
