If you're new to this channel Go ahead and hit that like button come in subscribe Make sure you click post notification so you will be notified every time you boy drop some heat in today's video I will be giving you guys a full walkthrough for beginners on how to make a cartoon head So without further ado, let's jump right into this video. Okay first thing you want to do Drag and drop your picture Come up here to opacity And bring it down some so your line work can sit perfectly on the top And also my artboard the size I'm using is 18 by 18 inches You always want to do even numbers so it can fit perfectly inside of Instagram Okay, I dropped my opacity down and And another thing too when you're resizing your photo make sure you hold shift so you don't distort your picture So hold shift as you drag the edges So, okay, I got it got a nice size. I want we're gonna lock that picture layer And we're gonna come down here to create new layer We're gonna create us a new layer Then we're gonna come up here To a new definition and what I'm finna do I'm finna create The pressure option for the brush the only way you can get your pressure option is if you're using a digital art tab that I am using a ycom Uh centique and I will have a link in the bio below in the description below So if y'all want to go purchase the same digital art tab that I'm using I'll make sure I put that link under this video Okay, come up here the new brush hit okay Then you want to go to fixed at the bottom and then you want to click pressure And change these two bottom numbers to three And then after you do that Go to your brush And you should have a pressure option And all it is is when you press down fine Your your lines get bigger and when you do light pressure your lines get thinner, you know And that's just the only little Brush y'all see me using every video. It's just a pressure option Okay, what we're gonna do the way I would approach this video We I mean um the way I would approach this picture We're gonna put the hair on its own layer. So what we're gonna do we're gonna draw the face completely bald You know what I'm saying? So let's start out with just Tracing his face Make my brush a little thicker And also when you're doing these cartoon heads Gotta make sure you're closing your lines off So when you're using that pink bucket method It's not It's working for you. You know what I'm saying? You got to make sure all your lines is closed off Or you're gonna be mad at the very end of your picture, man We just going through Doing some clean lines Also, if you having a problem and you're struggling making clean lines What you want to do is double click your brush and make sure you move your smoothness up To your liking and what this is going to do this going to help correct your lines as you draw So you just got to find out what works best for you. I keep mines in the center You know what I'm saying? Because if you move pretty fluently and you flow through your lines will come out clean So as I'm drawing If you look closely It's giving it a little correction So it's helping me out a little bit But if you need more help just move that smoothness up and it's over like that All right, it's a little problem on the side. All right, we're gonna come to this other ear We're gonna do the same thing Let's go ahead Dang, I can't stand it Let's go Closer to these eyes Like that and it's over like this and I'm gonna make sure I close this line off It's very important everything you do. You want to make sure you're closing your lines off right there We're gonna come on this side. We're gonna do the same exact thing with this eye Don't bring it over Make sure we're closing should we closing that line off You know what? I can bring this line a little closer Bring this over like that with crease right here And the more you do it you guys the more Fluent you would get at it. I know y'all probably looking at this video and thinking I'm moving pretty fast, but It's just repetition. I've been doing it so long. So it just The more you do it it become easier. So don't let it discourage you These lips Make sure we do like this on the side And just like I told y'all one thing I keep in mind. I make sure I close my lines off Posing all these little lines off. I have no problems Step back look at what we got so far All right, okay, let's add quality little creases now Just like I told y'all we're gonna put the hair on a whole new layer by itself So all I'm gonna do is just create A jawline and it ain't got to be even because you got to keep in mind all that's gonna be covered by hair Just do it like this And the reason I'm putting the hair On on a layer by itself because it's a different color from my line work So if his hair was black, I would have put it all on the same Same layer I what I'm finna do is you guys Move this color black to the top Make sure the bottom one is locked come over to your pencil tool by right clicking your brush And then make sure your settings inside of your pencil tool look exactly like what you see here You want to hit okay And now we finna come back to the eyes And we're gonna feel this in just like this We're just gonna trace The outline of the eyes And then we're just gonna witness it get filled in just like that Boom And we're gonna come to this side. We're gonna do the exact same thing We're gonna trace that out Outside of it and close it off Then we're gonna come up here to the top just like this And we're gonna do it just like that You feel me Now What we can do Let me zoom in make sure I'm closing these lines off. Okay. Go back to my brush tool Make sure Always make sure you're closing your lines off All right now Let's go ahead and start Working on that hair. So we're gonna create a new layer Right above the line work layer And since his hair is blonde We're gonna start with like a dark brown for a base tone So a base tone to the blonde would be like a dark brown Or like a gold A goldish a goldish brown and we can always tweak it. So Go back to your pencil tool And now the brush tool and the pencil tool It really come in handy Especially this uh pencil tool Because I this what I use to do my shading as well But right now we're gonna trace the eyebrows With this pencil tool And you see how I'm doing it It's like a little technique. I'm acting like I'm drawing out The hairs when I'm done it's gonna fill it in Oh man, I forgot. Well, let's select that Make sure you you got to make sure you had at your color at the very top in the bottom A lot. That's one thing I almost forgot Let's go back to the pencil tool And finish Fill in this in just like that And what I'm gonna do is so I can see the hair a little better Let's uh unlock our picture the photo that we're copying and let's bring that opacity up Let's bring it up a little bit So we can Make sure we ain't missing no fine details. Now we're gonna lock that layer again and go back to our hair layer and Let's go back to our pencil tool And finish tracing The eyebrows And see one thing you got to make sure you do don't ever pull your hand off of The picture or it'll just stop. So you got to make sure you keep your hand down until you complete With what you're doing It's tracing it making them and I make sure I don't fast forward as much through this video. So you guys can see The way I approach different things in real time Like this see this pencil tool will help you cover a lot of ground man That's why I say your pencil tool and your brush tool is all you would need for real It's over back that way Now we're gonna fill all this in Just like that Add a little Detail got the bottom half these little hairs right here And this is just the first part. I'm gonna show you what we're gonna do next to make these hairs look a little more detailed I like to do this for like the base My base for the hairs I'm going to come up to the top of his head up here And we're gonna just fill This in This over like that Nice little base for the hairs Now let's go back to our Brush tool And we're gonna come back around on top of that and we're gonna add some fine details. So I'm gonna move my brush Sides up to like a three And also I'm looking at The same picture that I'm doing right here on another string. So I'll be able to see On details and stuff. So do you see how this worked? We just went back over it a little detail This side has some filling in here Come together man Come back up here. We're gonna have some details what you get how I did it We started out with the The pencil tool And now we're going back over Over everything with the brush tool To give it more detail The brush tool and the pencil tool go hand in hand work together More hairs not perfect little hairs like this. So I'm just going left and right like this real fast You know what I'm saying? The beard texture go back up here Back to these hairs Make our brush like a four And just add some on the details. Remember what I said, this is just like the base Hair the base color for the hair, but we still want to make it look good as possible That's why we coming back around and adding these little finer details these hairs Going like this You look like it's flowing take a little step back. See what we looking like Okay, cool. Cool. It's good Cool is good. We'll do a little more uh-oh Do a little more right here Make our brush a little smaller It's like a zero point 75 So we can get just a different size And give it more variation We finally finished with the hair we can mute the hair real quick. Let's focus on this What you want to do is You want to We're gonna lock this layer. I mean unlock the line work layer We're gonna come to our selection tool highlight everything Then you want to go to You want to come over here to Window and then you want to pull out your path finder Once you pull out your path finder, you want to click merge Why everything is still selected to re-select everything. What I did was hit control z I had to step back real quick See it merge. I wonder why that's disappearing on me Well, let's try to add an extra step because that's disappearing. Let's go to expand. That's what I forgot my bad you guys Select everything Go to object expand appearance and then click merge on your path finder So my bad, make sure you do that step I was selecting everything and I was clicking merge, but you supposed to select everything Go to object expand appearance and then click merge Okay, now that we we Merge all the lines We're gonna make a copy of our line work by just dragging it and dropping it to the new layer and it'll create a new copy for you That's a lot the top layer And this is where Purchasing the g world color palette coming handy. I will have a link to my color palette And under this video too. So I'm gonna pull out My skin tones These skin tones that I created pull it out to your skin tones. Here we go And we're gonna start coloring this thing. So basically let's start out with the skin tone What you want to do you want to hit this rectangle tool After you just select the color you want to use for the skin tone and you want to drag That color over your entire picture Now you want to right click the color I'm gonna show you how I look. I'm gonna lock the top layer Of the line work so you can see the layer. I'm on now. I just drag this color over The line work I'm on the same layer as the line work on the second second copy that I created So I'm right clicking this color right And we're gonna go to arrange and send to back So now it just sent the color behind the line work So now since the color is sitting behind the line work, we're gonna highlight everything once again And we're gonna merge the color with the line work So now I just made the line work become one with the color Now we're gonna right click the color go to isolate select the group now every area that's closed off It's going to make it its own group. So we can change colors to different areas. That's closed off. So I'm gonna highlight this Select this outer color and we're gonna hit delete We don't want it We're gonna click this top lip and we're gonna come over here to my color palette Make sure the color is at the top and make sure the bottom one is locked Okay, we're gonna choose The bottom tone for his lip I select select group I'm gonna select his eyes make this white Little color, you know what? I forgot to make that little black line, but it's all good. You know what we're gonna do We're gonna draw it in with the pencil tool. So That's all we got to do And keep in mind. That's why I saved A layer a copy of the line work. So that's gonna fall right on top of that That imperfection right there bam Now what you want to do after you get your little base color down We're gonna make a copy of the color layer. We just created And we're gonna lock The bottom copy turn the eye off on the bottom copy come to the color In the center right here and hit this drop down menu And we're gonna stroll down Until you see your last black line work and you're gonna lock all these layers only the black line work And then these top ones right here, you're gonna Keep them unlocked and you're gonna close it back Now what we're gonna do out of this layer Is only delete the skin tone Isolate select group And we only delete the skin tone color out of that layer Now We can lock that layer Turn the eye back on on the bottom skin tone color And create a new blank layer and we're gonna put it between Those two two layers. We just created right here Now this is the layer that I do All the shadows on so you can create how many shadow layers you want to create but make sure you put it in between Right here where we got this head so let me um Let's start out with a A dark tone And I do all my shadows using the pencil tool So what we're gonna do we're gonna Stay steady in the picture So I'm looking at the photo right now as we speak On my other monitor, and I'm just copying exactly what I see I'm copying exactly what I see you guys I ain't mess up just copying all the tones And it just take practice you guys You'll get better at doing shading Shadows and stuff like that the more The more you do So I'm just copying what I see I'll make sure I put a little picture On the side of what I'm Of the picture I'm drawing so you guys can see Me follow along with the photo.
