Hey guys, I'm sure you've seen these type or art pieces around lately, and they are actually SO easy to do yourself! No joke! People literally just trace images and add color to the shapes and bam its done.
I'm going to show you how easy it is, and that you seriously can do it yourself! So check it out:
Program:
- Adobe Illustrator (mine is still the 2017 version whoops, but tools i use are the same in newer versions.)
Some Hotkeys I share for quickly navigating tools:
"P" - Pen
"A" - Direct Selection
"V" - Selection
"B" - Brush
If you have any questions or want to see another tutorial drop a comment!

I just watched this video, I wish you had more videos, this helps tons!! It's very straight fowards, no going around explaining every detail (yes, sometimes we need it, but not in this case). Love it!!! ♥ (you got a new sub, just in case you post more in the future!)

Why doesn't this have many views!?

@elsalongdesign 3 года назад

Haha thank you!

@gabrielysilva1767 3 года назад

Awesome! You deserve more views. Am I able to do the same in Inkscape? Thanks 💕

@elsalongdesign 2 года назад

I’ve honestly never used ink space but give it a shot and let me know!!

Hi! How is it that you can create anchor points on new paths that go on top of existing paths (at 1:06 at a lot of other moments)? Everytime I try to do that, the entire new path that I'm trying to draw disappears and my cursor jumps back to the anchor point on the old path.

@elsalongdesign 2 года назад

Hi! Yeah so a trick, go just slightly next to the path then move the shape to over lap or certain points with the “A” direct selection tool. Or create your new lines/ shape on a new layer, bcs you’re right it will add and delete stuff on the line I accidentally do that, this is how I go around it I hope that made sense!!

Do you use a mouse for this or Graphic tablet for this? Great tutorial btw!

@elsalongdesign 2 года назад

I used my laptop track pad!! Kinda hard but if you practice you’ll get so used to it! And thank you!!

@purvanshtrivedi5058 Год назад

Awesome! How long does one illustration take to make?

@elsalongdesign Год назад

it totally depends on skill levels utilizing the program, for myself something like this would take like up to an hour!

@nidhig5685 3 года назад

Hi Elsa, I cannot use the pen smoothly, did you use Ipad for your drawing, I'm on a Macbook laptop with a trackpad. Please give me tips. Thank you :)

@elsalongdesign 2 года назад

Hey! I used a laptop for this, I may have to make a vid to explain but with the pen tool when you click to create an anchor point hold down the button and drag out words (you will see two lines extend on each side, the bigger or short the guide lines are, adjusts how smooth the line you’re creating will be!

@lindsayzimmerman9805 2 года назад

the pen tool keeps filling in the spaces with black or white, I can't seem to get it to just be the outline. I'm new to using this but it matches with what youve shown in the video ( white square with gray square in center)

@elsalongdesign 2 года назад

Weird! Switch between boxes with the arrow in the corner of them! Make sure you are selecting the stroke and making it transparent/no color not fill! One thing when you finish a shape make sure you connect to the start point! When you do this it’ll show a little circle by your pen tool when you’re close to clicking on the starting point! Hopefully that makes sense!!

@coen3085 3 года назад

Hi can u teach me how to view background image easily when you have something in front? just like in 1:46

@elsalongdesign 3 года назад

So if you work in layers, make a separate layer before you start working so you aren’t working on the actual image. In your layers window you can toggle the eye, which shows or hides that layer. Or make sure your own tool is only a stroke and has no fill (the full box and the outlines box on the left hand toolbar), sometimes the fill gets in the way when working! I hope that helps if not leave another comment with more specifics!! :)
