00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.09

- [Voiceover] Alright now

the problem with the mouth



2

00:00:01.09 --> 00:00:04.02

and the teeth is that

they look pretty flat,



3

00:00:04.02 --> 00:00:06.07

especially when compared

with the tracing template,



4

00:00:06.07 --> 00:00:10.01

which has a dark edge

around the entire mouth,



5

00:00:10.01 --> 00:00:11.03

which rather violates what you



6

00:00:11.03 --> 00:00:13.01

can do with a linear gradient.



7

00:00:13.01 --> 00:00:15.06

And we have this darkness under the teeth,



8

00:00:15.06 --> 00:00:17.06

which is why, in this

movie, we're going to



9

00:00:17.06 --> 00:00:20.06

enhance the gradients

using dynamic effects.



10

00:00:20.06 --> 00:00:24.01

Because after all, soft

effects like drop shadows,



11

00:00:24.01 --> 00:00:26.01

and as we'll see, inner glows,



12

00:00:26.01 --> 00:00:30.01

are just other forms of

gradients inside Illustrator.



13

00:00:30.01 --> 00:00:32.02

And so I'll just go

ahead and press ctrl + y,



14

00:00:32.02 --> 00:00:33.05

or command + y on the mac,



15

00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:35.00

to switch back to the preview mode



16

00:00:35.00 --> 00:00:37.08

and then I'll click on the

mouth shape to select it,



17

00:00:37.08 --> 00:00:39.07

and I'll go up to the effect menu,



18

00:00:39.07 --> 00:00:42.09

choose Stylize, and then

choose this guy right here,



19

00:00:42.09 --> 00:00:44.06

inner glow.



20

00:00:44.06 --> 00:00:47.07

Now, by default, you're

going to brighten things.



21

00:00:47.07 --> 00:00:50.03

Notice if I turn on the preview check box,



22

00:00:50.03 --> 00:00:52.03

then we might end up seeing some sort



23

00:00:52.03 --> 00:00:54.04

of brightness inside the mouth.



24

00:00:54.04 --> 00:00:56.09

But the reason we're not

seeing a darned thing



25

00:00:56.09 --> 00:01:00.05

is because I'm assigning inner

glow to the wrong attribute.



26

00:01:00.05 --> 00:01:01.09

So what I'm gonna do is just



27

00:01:01.09 --> 00:01:03.09

click okay to accept these settings,



28

00:01:03.09 --> 00:01:06.01

and then here inside the appearance panel,



29

00:01:06.01 --> 00:01:08.05

I'll click on the inner

glow effect right there,



30

00:01:08.05 --> 00:01:12.02

and then I'll drag it and

drop it onto the fill.



31

00:01:12.02 --> 00:01:15.01

At which point you can

actually see that glow



32

00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:16.07

on the inside of the mouth.



33

00:01:16.07 --> 00:01:19.04

Now I don't really want

that glow, I want darkness.



34

00:01:19.04 --> 00:01:21.09

So I'll go ahead and click

on the words inner glow



35

00:01:21.09 --> 00:01:24.06

to bring up the inner glow dialogue box.



36

00:01:24.06 --> 00:01:27.03

And the thing about glows and shadows,



37

00:01:27.03 --> 00:01:29.02

a drop shadow can be bright,



38

00:01:29.02 --> 00:01:32.05

and an inner glow can be

dark if you want 'em to be.



39

00:01:32.05 --> 00:01:35.02

All you have to do is switch

the blend mode and the color.



40

00:01:35.02 --> 00:01:38.02

And so the difference

between these effects is that



41

00:01:38.02 --> 00:01:41.07

a drop shadow has direction

associated with it,



42

00:01:41.07 --> 00:01:44.03

and inner glow doesn't.

It's omnidirectional.



43

00:01:44.03 --> 00:01:47.06

So it traces the entire

perimeter of the path outline.



44

00:01:47.06 --> 00:01:49.08

So what we're gonna do here

is switch to a different color



45

00:01:49.08 --> 00:01:51.06

by clicking on this color swatch



46

00:01:51.06 --> 00:01:53.08

and that'll bring up the

color picker dialogue box,



47

00:01:53.08 --> 00:01:56.05

and then click on the

color swatches button



48

00:01:56.05 --> 00:01:58.09

in order to switch to a

list of your color swatches.



49

00:01:58.09 --> 00:02:01.00

Go ahead and scroll down that entire list



50

00:02:01.00 --> 00:02:05.00

and select Brown one, and then click okay.



51

00:02:05.00 --> 00:02:07.00

Now if I turn on the preview check box,



52

00:02:07.00 --> 00:02:08.07

you're not gonna see a darned thing,



53

00:02:08.07 --> 00:02:12.02

and that's because the

blend mode is set to screen.



54

00:02:12.02 --> 00:02:14.03

Screen always brightens.



55

00:02:14.03 --> 00:02:16.09

And it brightens more

effectively with bright colors,



56

00:02:16.09 --> 00:02:19.01

less effectively with dark ones,



57

00:02:19.01 --> 00:02:22.00

which is why the effect is

pretty much just dropping out.



58

00:02:22.00 --> 00:02:23.07

If we want to darken instead,



59

00:02:23.07 --> 00:02:26.08

then we need to switch

the mode to multiply,



60

00:02:26.08 --> 00:02:29.06

in order to produce

this effect right here.



61

00:02:29.06 --> 00:02:32.05

Alright now I'm gonna crank

the opacity value up to 100



62

00:02:32.05 --> 00:02:35.02

and I'm gonna take the

blur up to 10 points.



63

00:02:35.02 --> 00:02:37.00

You wanna leave this guy set to edge



64

00:02:37.00 --> 00:02:38.09

because if you change it to center,



65

00:02:38.09 --> 00:02:41.06

you're gonna darken the

center of the mouth instead.



66

00:02:41.06 --> 00:02:44.00

So edge is what we're

looking for, at which point,



67

00:02:44.00 --> 00:02:47.00

go ahead and click okay

to accept that change.



68

00:02:47.00 --> 00:02:50.01

Alright now let's put that

darkness below the teeth,



69

00:02:50.01 --> 00:02:52.01

better known as a shadow, of course,



70

00:02:52.01 --> 00:02:54.06

so I'll go ahead and click

on the teeth to select 'em.



71

00:02:54.06 --> 00:02:56.05

And then I'll go up to the effect menu,



72

00:02:56.05 --> 00:02:59.05

choose stylize, and choose drop shadow.



73

00:02:59.05 --> 00:03:01.08

Alright I'll start by turning

on the preview check box



74

00:03:01.08 --> 00:03:04.01

so we can see our setting so far.



75

00:03:04.01 --> 00:03:06.06

I'm interested in using that color



76

00:03:06.06 --> 00:03:08.07

that I sampled in the

previous movie, however,



77

00:03:08.07 --> 00:03:10.07

so I'll select the color option



78

00:03:10.07 --> 00:03:12.06

and click on its swatch to bring up



79

00:03:12.06 --> 00:03:14.03

the color picker dialogue box.



80

00:03:14.03 --> 00:03:17.00

Once again, click on the color

swatches dialogue button,



81

00:03:17.00 --> 00:03:19.01

scroll all the way down

to the bottom of the list,



82

00:03:19.01 --> 00:03:23.04

and select Brown five,

and then click okay.



83

00:03:23.04 --> 00:03:24.07

And now we wanna go ahead and crank



84

00:03:24.07 --> 00:03:27.08

the opacity value all the way up to 100%,



85

00:03:27.08 --> 00:03:31.04

tab to the X Offset value,

make sure it's set to zero.



86

00:03:31.04 --> 00:03:35.00

We also want the Y Offset value

to remain at eight points,



87

00:03:35.00 --> 00:03:38.05

but I wanna take the blur

value up to six points



88

00:03:38.05 --> 00:03:40.05

to produce this effect right here,



89

00:03:40.05 --> 00:03:42.09

At which point I'll click okay in order



90

00:03:42.09 --> 00:03:44.05

to accept that change.



91

00:03:44.05 --> 00:03:45.09

And now I'll press ctrl + zero,



92

00:03:45.09 --> 00:03:48.04

or command + zero on a mac, to zoom out.



93

00:03:48.04 --> 00:03:49.07

I'll press ctrl + shift + a,



94

00:03:49.07 --> 00:03:51.01

or command + shift + a on a mac,



95

00:03:51.01 --> 00:03:53.01

in order to deselect my artwork.



96

00:03:53.01 --> 00:03:55.00

I'll switch back over to the layers panel



97

00:03:55.00 --> 00:03:57.00

and I'll turn off my guides layer.



98

00:03:57.00 --> 00:03:59.03

And now let's confirm

that we've done a good job



99

00:03:59.03 --> 00:04:02.03

by pressing ctrl + y,

or command + y on a mac,



100

00:04:02.03 --> 00:04:04.02

to switch to the outline mode,



101

00:04:04.02 --> 00:04:05.05

at which point we can see the



102

00:04:05.05 --> 00:04:07.03

tracing template in the background.



103

00:04:07.03 --> 00:04:10.06

And then I'll press ctrl

+ y, or command + y again,



104

00:04:10.06 --> 00:04:12.07

in order to switch to the preview mode



105

00:04:12.07 --> 00:04:15.08

so that we can see our

version of the artwork.



106

00:04:15.08 --> 00:04:19.06

And while every detail might

not be absolutely identical,



107

00:04:19.06 --> 00:04:23.05

I consider it to be a

pretty darn good match.



108

00:04:23.05 --> 00:04:26.06

And my final step is gonna

be to turn the template off



109

00:04:26.06 --> 00:04:29.01

by clicking on this icon

in the first column,



110

00:04:29.01 --> 00:04:31.06

and that will hide any of

this stuff in the background,



111

00:04:31.06 --> 00:04:33.04

including that extra drop shadow,



112

00:04:33.04 --> 00:04:36.08

so that we can see a clean

version of our artwork.



113

00:04:36.08 --> 00:04:38.06

And that's how you combine gradients



114

00:04:38.06 --> 00:04:40.06

along with dynamic effects to create



115

00:04:40.06 --> 00:04:42.04

more sophisticated shading.



116

00:04:42.04 --> 00:04:45.06

Not to mention how you

create a vector-based emoji



117

00:04:45.06 --> 00:04:49.00

that you can scale to any

size and purpose that you like



118

00:04:49.00 --> 00:04:51.00

here inside Illustrator.
