In today's video, I will be showing you guys how to sketch an Adobe Illustrator. I'm gonna drop a lot of these videos and every time we do it, the picture gonna slowly get more advanced. And I will have a link to this picture in the description below so you can follow along and you can practice by yourself if you want to. So without further ado, let's go right to the video. First thing you want to do if you're using a digital art tablet, you want to set your pressure on your pen and you can't set your pressure with your mouse. I can say that a thousand times and people will still ask me in the comments. You got to have a digital art tablet. So now I'm going to set my pressure on my brush, go to pressure, turn that number to three, and then number three hit OK. And now I got my pressure brush. I'm gonna pick a little nice little neon color, drop the opacity on my brush so we can get that sketch feel, you know what I'm saying? And drop it a little lower. OK. If you get in the habit of sketching as much as you can, man, you're gonna get better. Your art skills just gonna drastically get better, man. So make sure you do a lot of practicing. Let's go ahead and sketch this picture out. It'll improve your all-around skills, man. Just sketching a lot, practicing. Every picture I draw, I make sure I do a nice sketch first. I don't just go straight into it, always sketch. So I think that's the key to art, like really mapping everything out before you before you really start. Get a nice little layout. And the more you practice, the better you'll become. This mouth is close this way. So we might, through this whole week, we might do a sketch tutorial for this whole week, you know what I'm saying? Y'all just let me know what y'all think in the comments. Would y'all like to see that? Just me doing different pictures that y'all can follow along and practice with. Let me know because we can show enough do it. Go ahead, highlight our little sketch and opacity down a little lower. Create us a new layer. Let's make some clean lines. All we're gonna do is just go through and clean up our lines. Do two also. I want to make this brush just a little bigger. Just like I tell you guys, the more you practice, the better you'll be, man. So it's up to you to improve, you know what I'm saying? It's how much work you're willing to put in to get to that next level. You gotta practice. So two, move this black to the top so we can fill all this in. Let's highlight everything. Object, expand the pinch, merge on our Pathfinder. Lock that layer. Create a new layer right under our line work. Let's color this thing. So I'm gonna go back to my pencil tool. Color this thing. Now we got that boy. Tigger me Elmo. Let me create a new layer right above that and we're gonna do like a shadow. You know what I'm saying? Let me see how I'm gonna do it. I might do a shadow coming from this side. Yeah, that's what we're gonna do. So let's go ahead and do that. Just color down a song. Blend it in a little bit. Okay, cool. And you'll get better at just coming up with your own shadows with practice. Everything will come over time as far as getting better. Your skills will get better over time. You just gotta put in the time. You gotta put in the work. Gotta practice. I practice a lot and that's why on the level I'm on right now as an artist, just practice. There you have it you guys. How to sketch to make a dope picture in Adobe Illustrator. Man, we're gonna do a lot of these practices throughout this week. You know what I'm saying? So you can brush up your skills.
