All you got to do is come in light Then you got to press hard in the center and then you got to come out light That's how you get a little sharp Little sharp points. You see my how my lines we looking first thing we're gonna do We're gonna go ahead and outline everything on the picture before we start And now that we finished with the line work. We're gonna go ahead and Select everything We're gonna go to object expand the pins Then you're gonna go to your pathfinder and click merge So we can make all our lines one and then we're gonna Duplicate the layer by dragging it to this blank sheet of paper lock the top layer Make sure you got your bottom layer selected And we're gonna click a skin tone That's pretty good skin tone start with you want to go to your red tangle tool. You want to drag the color Over your line work Then you want to right-click the color go to arrange and send to back so we can send the color behind the line work Now we're gonna select everything together And then we're gonna click merge so we can make our color one with the line work Do you want to right-click it go to isolate select group and now we can click these colors individually And to get the color out the hair if you want to get the color out the hair What you want to do is You want to click the drop-down menu right here. You want to click it again? When you inside of it you want to stroll to the last black layer you want to Lock them all just by strolling up while holding The left on your on your mouse and then you want to unlock the top to Lock all the black line work, but keep the top to unlock and then you want to close it Now what you can do you can come over here and click this The selection tool and we can we can delete the pieces of hairs And what we just did we locked the black line work And we kept the colors unlocked so when we make a selection we will not click our line work We'll only click the colors and now that we got a good Base color what I like to do when I'm shading I like to go ahead and start with my darkest colors And then I want to I want to go up from there. So what we're gonna do is We're gonna lock that layer and we're gonna add a new layer in between The color layer and the line work I'm gonna get our dropper tool and click this skin tone Then we finna come Find a good nice shadow to put on the skin And as you can look at the original picture we see he got a lot of dark shadows Under the eyes and above the eyes So that's what we're gonna go for first and I noticed he got that same dark shadow inside of the ear Like whatever is closer to these dark shadows That's what we just gonna go ahead and make this one dark shadow layer Before we go to the the brighter layers above that. So we're gonna I see around his eyes he have a dark shadow under his lips It has a dark shadow. So we're gonna put one there and inside the ears. So that's what we're gonna go with first Go ahead and start with that you want to try to Make it make sense. So We're gonna try to make it make sense with all the creases You can look at a lot of different pictures like if you're doing you trying to do cartoons or get better at your cartoon Here's just go through a lot of pictures. They got that got different light sources hitting from different directions. Just pay attention to a lot of pictures you look at like Pictures that you got in your phone or take a couple pictures of yourself and different scenarios and try to See where the shadows is coming more and where the lights hitting more you just practice on it Because to get better at shading you got a kind of in a sense understand it, you know saying like you don't have to understand like the proper way of How to explain it or talk about it, but as far as just understand it as far as know what you're doing like know Why shadow is coming in this way or know why the light is coming from this way So when you're drawing a picture from stretch and you just want to figure out how you should add your shades You can just already Have in your mind like okay, which way I want the light to come from and which way do I want these shadows come from? Because once you figure it out and learn it and learn your own methods of doing shading It will make your artwork stand out so much and it'll make it so much better to give it It'll give it more of a feel So if you're gonna add another layer Underneath our dark shadow, so we're gonna try that layer Then we're gonna click it skin tone and we're gonna pick a layer. That's That's kind of in the middle Dark and light that's a good So now what we're gonna do We're gonna look at how it's shadows is shaped on his face and we're gonna use this shadow to Make the shape that we see I Notice His cheekbones are very like extinguished so Just like you drawing the line where that's the same way you got to kind of draw out the shadows Because if you really look at this picture, you'll kind of see it. It's kind of like this I'm just following how it is on the original picture Then we got the light shadow the sign to do the highlight. So what we're gonna do We're gonna create one more layer And then we're gonna click a we're gonna find a brighter skin tone So we can do all the little the little shines on the face So once you go right there Make my brush a little bigger too And what shading do it helps better shape out the face You know I'm saying because without all these Shadows and shades we put on the face here to just be so flat But you as you can see once we added the shading it gave It gave the face that we just drew more dimension and it gave it more It gave it a different look like without it It was just flat but when we start adding the shades it start looking more and more like the person so Always remember when you're shading it's a it's a part of the face Detail too as well because you as you can see soon as we take it off It don't look like it's the same person But soon as we add it on it We you can tell we use these shades to go ahead and shape out the rest of the face So what you want to do what you want to remember is when you shading look at Look at your picture and you want to try to copy it as much as you can you want to try to copy every shadow Just like it's it's line work. Just like you trace the line work You want to try to do the same thing when you're looking at the The shadows you want to try to go through it and you want to try to See if I was tracing the shadows what I would have did was I would have got my darkest color and Everywhere I see this little dark Complexion I would have just went and traced that like above the eyes under here Same thing on the other side. It's a dark shadow right here Dark shadow under the nose under the lips and that's all it is you just want to You just want to copy exactly what you see on the picture And the closer you get like the better your picture be like it just take practice the more you do it the better you You'll be at it and there you have it man How to shade in Adobe Illustrator if you're new to the channel go ahead and hit that like button Come in subscribe moheek coming soon, and I'm out this thing
