18. Great Design: Drawing Homer Simpson In Illustrator    great-design.blogspot.com

Hey Illustrator is a great program. It offers so much versatility in creating vector images. Hence why it is the top vector program out there. As a beginner to this program I want to share with you a tutorial that is simple to follow that you can use to draw Homer Simpson of The Simpsons. It is really easy to do but it does take a long while if you want to get it correct and good looking. What we would hopefully be working towards is something shown on the right. That image is lifted directly out of I had made. All the included colours will be given although you can download the swatches from the source file if you want to load them directly. If you want to see any of the image screen shots full size please click on them. Step 1 is simple create for canvas and suitably name it. A size under 800 x 600 is perfect because the source file we will be working on isn't the best of quality. Remember to save the file once as you click OK. You don't want to lose all of your work because you didn't save your file. You next need to create a layer for the background image that we are going to trace. Rename the existing layer (If you need your layer palette up go Window > Layers) and naming it something useful (and spelled correctly (D'Oh)). The next step is to lock the layer by checking the tick box. Locking the layer prevents you from moving it are changing any of the attributes when working. The next step is to copy and paste or place the image below onto this layer. You can either resize it to a large size if it is to small or leave it as it is. You should have something that looks like this. When you lock the layer there will be a small pad lock by the eye. If can always click and unclick the pad lock to edit and change the layer as necessary. This will be done numerous times to different layers. The next step is to start drawing. Use the Pen tool (P) and set the stroke to about 2. Change this depending on the size of your image. One thing to remember is that a thinner line will be added on to the image later. Once you have selected the pen tool create a new layer. Name it outline. The carefully draw around the outline of Homer. Make sure that you adjust the curves as needed with the White Pointed Tool (A). Once you have spent some time carefully adjusting the image you should have a good outline. Through out the creating of this tutorial I was always going back and changing the outline to look both good and fit to the original sketch. You now need to reduce the st...

39. The Powell Blog: Drawing Mushroom In Illustrator    thepowellblog.com

Hey I haven't done a tutorial in a while so I decided to do one for a change. This tutorial is about drawing mushroom in illustrator. Its very simple. and takes about 10 minutes. I've used Illustrator CS3, but I don't think there are any problems if you use some of the later versions. If you are ready lets begin. Step 1) The first step is to create a new canvas. It doesn't have to be massive, but make it a good size. About 500 x 500 pixels is best. Step 2) Use the ellipse path tool (L) and draw a squashed circle. Have a really thick stroke. About 10-20px depending on the size of your circle. Set the fill to nothing. All of the fills will be nothing unless stated. Step 3) Use the rounded rectangle tool to draw the body of the mushroom. Use the up and down arrows to change the curve of the corners. Step 4) Open the path finder palette (Window > Pathfinder) select the two lines, press "Add to Shape Area" and then expand. This will merge the lines and then make them into one line. You get the following shape. Tweak it using the Direct Selection Tool (A) to adjust the points if you need a better shape. Step 5) Use the pen tool and draw a curved line across the shape. The best method to complete this is to first click on the left hand side of the shape, then click on the right hand sides. Then drag the mouse with the button press down to adjust the shape. The stroke wants to be a lot less than the thick edge. Step 6) To add the eyes, select the Ellipse Tool (L) set the fill to black and the stroke none and draw the eye shape. Copy and paste for the other eye. Step 7) This is the most fun part in my opinion. Create a new layer underneath the drawing layer. This, for the uninformed, is done through the Layers palette (Windows > Layers) and then select new layer from the rows of icons at the bottom of the palette. On this new layer select the pen tool set the stroke to none and the fill to #FFFEF5. Draw points to make sure you fill in the area. It doesn't have to be precise, but it does need to be filled. Step 8) Do the same method again to produce the shadow but change the fill to #E2E2D7. Make sure you take time to make a good curve. Step 9) Using the same technique as mentioned draw around the head part of the shape. I was going to show a screen shot of this, but its white so there isn't anything the see. This step is used for when a background is added. Step 10) Draw another shadow for the head part. Use colour value #DBDBDB, this is more grey . The other shado...
