And before we jump right into it I'm gonna go ahead and let y'all know I already know you boy been missing but what I've been doing is working on music. I've been recording every day you know I'm saying I'm getting ready to drop a lot of projects this whole year starting this summer I'm gonna be hitting them hard you know I'm saying so I've been recording music every day because I'm very passionate about the music you know I'm saying trying to say where I got my art career and it took off for me because I put a lot of work into it that's the same thing I'm doing with my music now so I'm putting a lot of I'm giving it a lot of attention you know I'm saying so but I'm still not leaving art so don't think just because y'all don't see me a lot I'ma just quit this nah I'ma do art forever but the music needs some attention until we get it where it need to be if you want to check out my music right now all you got to do is go to Spotify man or iTunes it's on all streaming platforms just type in chi world and I will be flooded it soon so go ahead and be go ahead and get on the curve right now man be one of my day ones one of the day one supporters man before all the music come because I'm telling you I got some heat coming but let's go ahead and jump right into this art video first thing I'ma do we're gonna drag and drop our picture from the jaw that boy Floyd one of my favorite boxes you know I'm saying not just because of what he do in the rain you know I'm saying he hung up his business inside the rain and he a goddamn hustler man he meant he just hung up his business all around you know I'm saying so I respect man so what I like to do first I like to drop the opacity down so I can see my line work sit on top of the picture I get it like right where I like it a lot that layer come down here to create new layer then I go to my brush my paint brush as you go to your paintbrush now I'm using a um a Y com sentee and this what I'm drawing with you know I'm saying so to be able to get you the pressure options y'all be seeing me do with my lines you gotta have you a digital art tablet to be able to use pressure pressure is when you're pressing down hard or you're pressing down light and that's how I get the effect with my art brushes you know I'm saying so let me go ahead and set my brush but you gotta have a digital art tablet to be able to get this option let me go to new brush and I hit okay I go to pressure change this to three and I change that number to three right there then after I do that we got our brush you feel me we change this color to black you feel me so now let's zoom in on our picture most of the time I start either with the nose or the eyes we don't start with the nose as y'all can see this picture it's very pixelated and I'm telling y'all man you need to invest into you like a digital art tablet because it just makes doing digital art more fun you know I'm saying I promise you you'll have a whole different love for it with a digital art tablet because everything will be so you'll be faster and more efficient with creating nice lines and stuff like that so and this ain't gonna be the greatest cartoon hit because you know I'm saying this is just for learning purposes so I need to I said I'm probably gonna name this video like for beginners you know what I'm saying so what I do is I go through make all my lines make some clean lines make you see how I make sure these lines are closed off I do that so we won't have no problem at the end when it's time to do all the color effects when it's time to like fill in colors and stuff like that you won't have no problem so you got to make sure you ain't leaving no gaps in the in between your lines so you won't have no problem so I make sure all my lines connect and it's a technique to get these lines just like I said I'm using pressure and I'm pressing hard in some areas then I'm pressing light to get the sharp points I'm pressing light I'm pressing light and I press hard and I end it with a light pressure just to get me that effect you feel me like that I'm gonna do it like this the more you do it the quicker you'll get and the better you'll get as well so being able to move fast come with just the time over time you'll get better that's anything you do in life you're just improved the more time you put in anything you'll get better because a lot of people be asking me man but any advice you can give me the only advice I can truly give you man is believe in yourself and put time into what you're doing like really put the time in put the work in because you cannot cheap the ground you know make sure my love my lines close though make sure them lines close I like to double check because sometimes I be having gaps hoping that I ain't know about okay now we're gonna do this the outer shape of the head let's go like to like a fold oh dang I probably got mine you see how you see how when I did the outer shape of his head the line just got corrected if you don't want your lines to correct too much all you gotta do is double click your brush and bring your smoothness down so I'm gonna bring it to the center see what that give me more control because Adobe illustrated what it try to do it try to help you could correct your lines so your lines would be smoother bring down just a tad bit more just a tad bit more we're gonna zoom in probably just make little stopping points too like that I seen all the imperfections let's go back to the center man I brought that down too low but I got the jittery hand you know what I'm saying is it cute keep working our way around and if y'all like videos like this man y'all want to see more videos like this all you gotta do for me is hit that like button come in and so man hit post notification so you'll be notified anytime you put y'all something another thing too you like my music go ahead and follow my music page on youtube as well Qi world not you know I'm saying the art the artist Qi world one two three four in the music page is just Qi world so go ahead and follow me because I'm telling y'all I've been working and stop on music like like crazy man I ain't dropped your chip because I'm getting a lot of stuff mixed in master you know I'm saying really take really finna take it serious so I promise you just like I showed y'all I was pretty talented with the art trying to show y'all I'm beard talented with the music as well so go ahead and follow your boy yeah feel me okay let me see got us a nice little got us a nice little line work going on we almost finished let me um bring that to a brush size that's pretty much all I do I keep the same brush and the brush I use is what come with the program is just me setting my pressure options I don't like use no like special brush so it's just setting my pressure options okay let's go let's bring this head over make connect this line like that and now we are finished and you know what we got to do right here you got to do the the Qi world dripping it's good what I like to do as you notice I ain't do his like you know I'm saying his little beard and you know I'm saying eyebrows and stuff like that right click the brush tool and go to your pencil tool make sure your sentence on your pencil tool look at exactly like what you see right here okay hit okay you see this color black you want to hit this little arrow and switch it you want to move black to the top and make sure the bottom one is locked because what we're gonna do we're gonna use the pencil tool as a field tool so what you do you create a path and it fills in the inner area you know I'm saying so that's what I use to do all my quick coloring so right here like this is our what we're gonna do we're gonna create a path and we're gonna close it just like that didn't feed me then I'm gonna create a path right here and we're gonna close it like that I like to take a step back a lot to see how how the progress is coming all right here what we're gonna do we're gonna create we're gonna go out like we drawing out the eyebrows so we can have that that texture you know what I'm saying and we're gonna do the same thing on this side draw it out give it some texture so when I'm making my cartoon heads them are pretty much my go-to tools the brush tool and the pencil tool and that's pretty much all you need to be for real that's all that's that's what I use the most the pencil tool and the brush tool everything else just you know I'm saying just just just a round and beat around I mean a little step white let's go ahead and draw the little fine hairs like this and this so like that I'm saying okay you know what I'm saying it's coming coming together man let's see I give me some water bro my and it's over same process same process I'm just uh creating a path and I'm going back I'm feeling that path and you see you know what I'm saying right here a little further over I'm gonna stop it right there we're gonna go back to the brush tool we're gonna add these myself like that yeah feel me you see how that transition you see how that transition over me let's buy this a little closer add some little finer hairs like this just get an illusion that it was just full also cheekbone okay pretty much pretty much got a decent decent little line working but then again let me take that little line off right there okay now your boy is finished with the line work you know I'm saying so what we're gonna do we're gonna now this is the part you really gotta pay attention because I get a lot of people in boxing me and they get stuck after they do the line work so let's I'm gonna go over it one more time look after we did our line work zoom around your picture and make sure you ain't got no openings because when you are used to like it's like using the paint bucket tool like if you got any openings the paint just come on outside your picture and you don't want that so that's why I make sure my lines I go around my entire picture and I make sure I ain't got no little gaps you know I'm saying make sure all that stuff is closed off on the entire picture make sure we ain't got no little openings where paint can leave okay we good let's check let's check the lips okay the lips good now let's check the eyes okay there's no little gaps that paint can leave you know I'm saying so after you do that you done checked your line work to make sure you ain't got no openings you want to highlight everything go to object and then you want to hit expand appearance after you click that you see everything looking red and you see these lines looking like they individual lines what we finna do we finna make all our lines we created to make the line work become one so you want to go to your pathfinder and click merge so we can make all the lines become one now they just became one so now this is one big group you know I'm saying we just grouped all the lines together as one after I do that I want to fit my my artwork on the page so I'm gonna highlight everything I'm a whole shift and I'm gonna bring it in so you hold shift so you won't change or distort the picture where it's like you know I'm saying you making it fatter or thinner it is state of same you know I'm saying to keep the same uh the same proportion you know I'm saying after we do that you want to make a copy of your line work lock the top copy make sure you select the second copy and then we finna drop the the the base color so what I'm finna do is I'm finna add my skin tone color you know I'm saying and I will have that in the description below if you want to purchase my skin tones and I'm finna show you how to import the skin tones if you do purchase it from me all you gotta do is hit this little book right here go to other library and then just go to wherever you got it saved on your computer so I got mine saved right here and just hit chi world skin tones you double click it and there go it it just dropped right enough drag it over here now I'm finna find a nice little base color to start out with and I think I'm gonna use that color right there I'm gonna go to my rectangle tool while I got that color selected and we're gonna drag this entire color over the picture just like that now what you want to do you want to right click the color go to arrange and send to back because we're sending the color behind the line work you know I'm saying okay and you'll know if you did that step right if you look over here at your color and you'll see your line work sitting on top of the color now what we finna do we finna highlight everything together and we're gonna click merge because we want the color to become one with the line work so I hit merge after I click merge I'm gonna right click the color go to isolate select group so any area that's closed off that's one group that's isolated so we can click this outer color right here because it's isolated from everything else since we got it all separated by closing our lines off and we're gonna delete this outer color my whole shift so I can select more than one area at a time then we're gonna change the color of his eyes you know I'm saying this color palette will make it real easy for you too man well you ain't gotta really spend too much time looking for some tones if you ain't good at finding colors on this one make them a little tone with a nice little bottle of colors in here that can be used that for now okay now that we got our base colors down what I like to do I like to make a copy of my color layer lock the bottom cup copy and turn the eye off on the bottom copy select the copy in the center hit this little drop down arrow hit it again and I stroll down to my last black line and I lock only the black line work inside of that layer and keep the top two unlocked keeping top two unlocked and I close it back like that so now what I'm gonna do I'm gonna delete the skin tone out of this layer like so and I do that I locked the black line work so I don't make a mistake and delete the line work I only can delete the color since I don't lock the black lines so now I can just select this whole area and it won't touch my black line work it I only grab the color outside of the cracks so I can delete that like that you know I'm saying it's easier to work around your lines once you got them lock you know I'm saying okay cool now we got that lock we can bring we can turn the eye back on on the bottom color layer lock the middle color layer that we just deleted the skin out of so let's create us a new blank layer let's put it between the eyes and the lips we're gonna put it right between that and the reason I do that if you was wondering why you do all that I do that so when I go to my pencil tool and I'm doing my shadows it'll fall behind the eyes and the lips just like that so I ain't got to worry about trying to draw around things I can just draw right behind it so what we finna do we finna add some shadows and this just take practice I know a lot of people ask me how do you get good at doing um shadows you just gotta practice but practice make perfect so if you terrible at it that just mean you need to just put my work at it you know I'm saying because before you get good you gotta start out being terrible then you gotta work your way to good you know I'm saying just like I did I wasn't always good at doing shadows and stuff but I just practice into it I got good at it so you know I'm saying I'm just drawing all my shadows with my with my pencil tool I'm just gonna draw all I draw all my shadows I'm looking at my reference and wherever I see the shadows that's why I place them I don't try to overthink it I'm just drawing exactly what I see and it's like this and it's like this bring this over you do that and we're just gonna keep this simple man we're gonna start getting more advanced on down the line but I'm just trying to make make it simple for you guys to understand it so we ain't gonna do too much on the shade and then go too deep into it I just want to move slow so you have time to follow along you know I'm saying so this is the basic tutorial you feel let me see bring this up like this like that then we're gonna come soon that's why I like to make my outer line bold like the whole trace of the cartoon head like a very thick black line so it'll be easier than I go outside the lines you know what I'm saying when I'm doing my shading like that with details that's in the ear like this and I've just been doing this for a long time guys so trust me you can you can do the same thing too you just gotta practice and put the work in man I make it look easy but it wasn't always easy I'ma just tell you right now it took a lot of work to it take a lot of work to master anything so you just gotta ask yourself how bad do you want to get better at what you love to do you know what I'm saying so just practice anything you see me me do you can do it you know what I'm saying you can do better you just gotta put the work in you can't cheat the ground you cheat the ground you will cheat you'll cheat yourself out of a chance to shine you know what I'm saying so don't cheat the ground put the work in if you want to improve and get better you will if you want it it's just all that you it's a choice you can choose to get better you can choose to not you know what I'm saying simple as that but yeah I'ma just try to keep this keep this simple we ain't gonna put too much because I was gonna do like different tones like transitional tones but we're gonna keep this one simple I might redraw this um same picture later on for another video and we're gonna slowly get more advanced with the detail you know what I'm saying so this was just something simple for you guys to catch on like this and you didn't know what I'm gonna do is let's get my um we're gonna do a highlight and go to a highlight color and this is where the light is reflecting off his face just pay attention to detail when you're doing um your your shadows and stuff like this that's all I'm doing I'm looking at my picture and I'm placing all the different tones exactly where I stand and there you have it man you know what I'm saying I'm gonna create a new layer that's right under the top line work let's put some shadows inside these eyes this color palette is pretty good man to give you a lot of goddamn choices to choose from you know what I'm saying until you at least till you learn how to it'll give you a nice color to start with where you can tweak it a little bit but you know what I'm saying it pretty much give you a foundation I'm gonna tweak this color a little bit oh let me click preview so I can see I don't know why I like making all my colors with this little tool here pencil tool over like that you know what I'm saying this top lip my little shadow right here shadow man I just can't resist so I'm gonna create a new layer let's put it under the eye layer real quick and I just want to add a shadow right here because on the photo I'm gonna show you all the pictures where I'm gonna put it up on the stream because on this picture I'm looking at like around his eyes it's real dark you know what I'm saying that's why I'm gonna go ahead and put a shadow on this one something something tweak this color too because it got like a expand merge so I can make it all one that's perfect I just found it in my layers I mean in my swatches my color palette like that it's a deep shadow right here just like that as but not least we got to put a dark shadow right here got to there we go man nice little simple cartoon head man just like I said if you're new to the channel hit that like comment subscribe make sure you stay tuned more
