 What's good YouTube this is what you are back child again with another art video man if you're new to this channel go ahead hit that like button comment subscribe makes you click post notification so you will be notified anytime you budget on heat in today's video same old same old I will be showing you guys how I draw a cartoon head so without further ado let's go right to this video okay first thing you want to do after you find your picture you just want to drag and drop it inside the program you want to center it you want to draw the opacity down it's good enough for your line work is staying out on the top you want to lock that layer create a new layer right above it and now the most important thing or the entire video is sitting your brush on your digital art tablet I'm using a UG art tablet I put it on the stream so you can see it but first thing you want to do you want to come up to the top when you hit this drop down menu then you want to click new brush do you want to hit okay then you want to go to pressure and change the two bottom numbers to three you want to hit okay after you do that it should give you this brush you see me use in all my videos you know I'm saying it's just a pressure brush like if I press light it'll give me a a light line but if I press harder to give me a thick line so what we finna do is make our brush like a 0.75 zoom in on our picture as close as you can so you can get all the detail you know what I want to make my brush a little smaller than that so let's go up to like 0.5 we just gonna do all the line work speaking of we'll go even smaller we go to a 0.25 so we can get some sharp lines the goal is to make your line work as clean as possible if you want to make some real good cartoon heads you just got to make some clean real clean sharp line work now what we finna do we finna fill in all the hair on this picture with our pencil tool so what you want to do you want to go to your pencil tool you want to make sure the settings on your pencil tool look exactly like mine do you want to hit okay then you want to move this color black right here to the top hitting this arrow and you want to make sure the bottom color is locked now what we're gonna do we're gonna use the pencil tool as a fill in tool so what you do is you just draw the area see I'm drawing out the area I wanted to fill in then I'm gonna go back first I'm just outlining and then I'm gonna come back and close it off fill it in for me so we're gonna do that around the entire picture with our pencil tool this about you a whole lot of time from just trying to color it manually this will save you a lot of time try to give it like a texture you know I'm saying instead of just trying to draw it like sharp like this trying to fill it in like that to make it look all sharp now you got to give it a texture as you draw it you know I'm saying so it helped the effect of making the hair look real now that we finished with the pencil tool for now let's go back to our brush tool and let's make it 0.5 what we're gonna do is we're gonna go back and we're gonna add some of the details inside the hairs let's make our brush as small as we can get it so we can add some of the finer details now what we finna do we're gonna go around that edges like the outline of this hair we're gonna give it some more detail and also let's go ahead and hit save this case something happen we had this thing say you know I'm saying let's finish adding the details just give it more texture now that we finish with the line work we're gonna do we're gonna highlight everything but object expand appearance then you want to click merge on your power finder so we can make all the lines become one you know I'm saying now it's just one bit line so we're gonna go over here to our layers drag it to this blank sheet of paper to make a copy of the line work lock the top copy select the second one let's find us a nice little base tone to start with for the skin tone for now we're gonna go to our rectangle tool we're gonna drag the color over the entire picture then what you want to do is you want to right click the color and go to arrange then you want to send to back you'll know if you did this step right if you look over here at your layers you see a line where it's sitting on top of the color right after you do that you want to highlight everything and then you want to click merge on your power finder so you can make the color become one with your line work so after that merge together you want to right click the color go to isolate select group and now every area that's closed off we can change the color or we can delete it so let's select this out of color right here and hit delete also to hit the drop down menu on the color layer we just made hit it again you want to stroll down you see your last black line work you want to lock all the black line work keep the top to unlock and then you want to close it back now you want to come over here to your white selection tool and we we're gonna delete all the colors that's trapped inside this here and the reason we locked out a black line work so we won't delete the line work while we're doing this process we're back to our black selection tool isolate select group hold shift we can color more than one thing at a time full shift so I can select more let's change this lip color now since we got the base color down what we're gonna do we're gonna make a copy of our color layer we just created so drag it to this blank sheet of paper turn the eye off on the bottom color layer and go to the one that's in the middle and what we're gonna do we're gonna delete the skin tone out of the middle layer but we're gonna keep the eye color and the lip color on that layer so let's do it let's delete only the skin tone now that we deleted the skin tone out of that layer let's go back to our layers turn the eye back on on the bottom one create us a new layer that's in between the base color layer and the layer where we deleted the skin tone so it's gonna be the layer go to your pencil tool make sure your color is at the top and the bottom one is locked and this gonna be the layer where we add our shadows she is just gonna fall right behind the lip color in our color so it's gonna make our job easier so what I like to do when I'm doing my shadows I like to start with a dark tone so what I do is I sample the skin tone then I try to find me a nice dark tone I try to create me a dark tone from starting with the base tone okay that'll do for now okay go to your pencil tool and what you do is you just focus to what you do is you just focus on the original photo like I'm looking at the original photo and I'm placing all the dark dark tones where I see them at I'm placing all the dark tones while I see them on the original picture and the more you focus on the original picture and you try to copy exactly what you see the better your your shadows and your shading and turnout that's all I do I just focus on the original picture and I place all the tones in the exact spot I see that picture it just takes some practice so the more you do it the better you'll get at it for a little lighter with the tone like what I do is I start with my dark shadows and every time I'm finished with that color that color I created I go lighter I create a new layer every time I go lighter with the tones and I just keep stacking it I put my dark shadows on top and I took my lighter shadows so I created me a new layer and I put it right underneath this dark tone we just made and I just keep going with that same method throughout the whole picture so let's sample the skin tone find us a nice in between color we finna do we finna go back to our middle tone and what I like to do is I like to hit object expand click merge on my paraphernalia so I can make all the colors on that one layer just one merge so I can make it all become one line and we finna tweak it a little bit so let's go to edit edit colors adjust color balance hit preview and let's try to make it fade into the next colors a little better so sometimes you gonna have to go in and you gonna have to adjust your colors so that's what I like to use when it's time to go go to a certain shadow layer and try to adjust the color to help blend a little better what I like to use is just what I showed you I come up here and I go to edit edit colors and adjust color layer I mean adjust color balance and that's all you need to know so I'm finna go ahead and finish shading this whole picture out real fast I'm finna create a layer at the very top and we're gonna add some detail inside his eyes last but not least we're gonna create one more layer at the very top we're gonna bring out our swatches go to your gradient on your swatch layer after you pick a gradient color you want to select the edges you want to make it black but you want to make it fade into a color now that we got our brush you want to go to your pencil tool make sure the color is at the bottom this time in the top one is locked and there you have it you guys how to make a cartoon head if you're trying to
