In this step-by-step Adobe Illustrator Tutorial, we will be going through a full process of building with shapes. If you are new to Adobe Illustrator, I would like you to switch to the Pencil Tool. This will preserve your "Live" Paths for future edits with your own artwork. We will be establishing a beginner workflow when using Adobe Illustrator and the Pencil Tool. Each tutorial focuses on a sequence of events and tool options, which you can combine to create your own workflow based on ease of use or efficiency. When I am creating my character, write down the steps to apply to your own artwork.

@litvidhub 7 лет назад

Hey Jason, great tutorial! I have a problem - when I try to use the "Minus-Front" option (in this case we were trying it with the mouth) I get a terrible shape. It seems to not be working properly. Any ideas what could be wrong?

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

When you paste new cutting shape in front- right click- arrange- bring to front. Once it is "in front" of the mouth shape the "minus front" will go way more smoothly. If you are having trouble with pathfinder a really easy one to understand is divide (bottom left). It will break up all of the shapes - all you have to do is ungroup- and then delete the shapes you don't want. I have started using divide for my beginners since it is very straight forward. Hope that helps.

@kaiami47 7 лет назад

Thank you for this tutorial! I'm trying to follow along and I can't find "option" to copy the "ear".. I'm using a Windows 10 laptop. Am I missing something?

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

Option is Alt on a Windows. Have ear selected (hold alt and a little white arrow icon will appear) you can also select the ear - edit (copy) edit (paste) for the long hand version of the alt/option shortcut

@monstamakerbeats 7 лет назад

Great!! Do you have any tutorial about exporting from Illustrator to web (Facebook, Instagram, etc) without loosing quality?

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

Are you looking for anything specific? My first recommendation is to scale your .ai file to the size you are exporting to. If you are having any quality issues, start there first.

@teresadayhoff8737 7 лет назад

Hi, I am brand new to adobe illustrator. I think this tutorial is wonderful but I have been stuck at the same point all afternoon.. When I am trying to intersect the little tonsil thing, I am getting this prompt: The filter produced no results. Please select 2 overlapping paths. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks so much!

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

The #1 thing I see that people get frustrated with is the copying-paste in front of the background shape. Usually this step is skipped over. The first thing I would try is copying the mouth-paste in front. Then try pathfinder. If it is saying no overlapping shapes- make sure the top is hanging off or overlapping. Then intersect.

@Technoko 7 лет назад

Hi, as Teresa said, great tutorial. I'm also new to Illustrator and I'm having the same problem. Is there any possibility that a feature has changed with the current version of Illustrator (I'm using CS6) throwing up this problem? I've tried every variation of copying and pasting to front with all sorts of layer combinations and I still can't get it to work.

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

Think 3 shapes. Mouth - Mouth Copy- New Shape that will be used to intersect away. You are using pathfinder on the Mouth Copy and new shape. New version will work the same as the old version in terms of pathfinder.

@ashley-93 6 лет назад

I am watching this tutorial and doing the same thing as u. But the command c and f and then intersect for the mouth. But is won't work in my illustrator..... It is so frustrating, do you have any tips?

@JasonSecrest 6 лет назад

An easy pathfinder option is the Divide Pathfinder. Select 2 Mouth Shapes- Divide - Ungroup Shapes- Then Delete the unwanted or overlapped shapes. The thing to remember is the Ungrouping after you click on the divide so you can individually select your shapes.

@sandraunterthiner9763 7 лет назад

why am I having trouble min-using the front? I select both shapes and it doesn't work for me...Help!

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

1. When using pathfinder double check that the object you minus front is arranged in front of the object you are cutting from. (bring to front) 2. Make sure you have copied/pasted in front the back shape. If your back objects are disappearing this is the step that was missed. A little different image, but at the bottom of the tutorial is a longer video on pathfinder: www.jasonsecrest.com/learn-adobe-illustrator-monkey-challenge/

how to do minus front in windows

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

Are you on the mouth? The trick is to copy the shape you want to keep before trying to minus front. Otherwise the mouth shape will keep disappearing on you. Also - on the shape that is in front - it is easier to tell what you are subtracting (minus front) if you bring the object to the front (right click - arrange- bring to front) then select the 2 shapes and click minus front.

@atifgulam7434 7 лет назад

THANKS SO MUCH SIR I SEE IT AGAIN AND PRACTICE AGAIN FOR THIS PROBLEM

@kappa3107 7 лет назад

It's not working! I've selected the 2 shapes, but when I want to use minus front, it removes more than one shape, even the eyes and mouth. And I am sure that I brought that shape in fronf of. Sorry for my mistakes.

@JasonSecrest 7 лет назад

+Kappa double check things aren't grouped together if multiple random shapes are being removed.

@kappa3107 7 лет назад

Silly me! I did it! I have copied/pasted in front the back shape and now it's ok. :)

Under Window- Select the Pathfinder Window. It might not be in your default settings. Alt/Option is the same key on your keyboard.
