Touch up/ Change colour: Touch up is the most time consuming process and ÂÂÂÂcomes in 2 parts: adding to the shape using a fine liner brush and reshape using the eraser tool. The next step will bring your illustration together: touching up.ĥ. Donât worry if your shapes are not perfect and have gaps. I also select the face colour and adjust it to a shade or two darker for the neck area to create depth.

Tips: I always have separate layers for the face and neck. Sometimes, when the shape is not large enough for the fill in feature, manually filling it in with your monoline brush would also do the job. To fill the shape with colour, select the colour and drag/ drop it into the shape. Think of this step like MS Paint (if you are old enough to know this program like I do): if there is a gap in between your line, the whole canvas will be filled with colours. You must do this to fill in the area with colour without filling the canvas. Fill in colours: When drawing these shapes, use monoline brush to outline and you must touch the starting point and the ending point to close the shape. Practice with 1 subject photograph before moving on to multiple subjects.Ĥ. I would recommend keeping it flat with the least amount of details for the best result (flat colours only). Sometimes, you would need multiple layers for one feature.

Be mindful of the order of your layer to get the best reflection of likeness for your illustration.

That way when needing to adjust or change the skin colour, it wonât affect the eyebrows and lips area vice versa. *For example when illustrating face, put the layer where the skin colour underneath the layer of eyebrows and lips. Doing so would help you when it comes to time to change colour of your shape. Each shape should be isolated to individual layer and named appropriately. Outline and layers: The secret to the success of these illustrations is layers. This is a good time for you to study the order of the subjectâs features and use it to your advantage in the next step.ģ. I usually break the features down to face, hair, eyebrows and lip, neck, top, bottom and shoes (if applicable). Organic subjects are the easiest in my opinion as the shapes are more forgiving. Break down the features: Break down your subjectâs anatomy using simple shapes.

Code those colours down for reference later in a separate layer.Ģ. Colours can be changed in the touch up process so donât worry about choosing the right colours the first time. You could also make a range of colour and choose the one that fits the most on your final version. Select colours: From your reference photographs, use colour picker and select the closest colours from photo of the skin, hair, clothing and accessories of the subject.
