00:03.660 --> 00:10.110
High there and this video we're going to take this kind of hand-drawn done with a pain so in real life

00:10.110 --> 00:17.040
drawing and go and do this where we fill up with color easily making it all kind of victory and nice.

00:17.040 --> 00:21.690
All right let's go and do it now in this tutorial case it is going to be three different types is going

00:21.690 --> 00:26.630
to be a hand-drawn one where if I don't then you can see like it's just kind of a pencil drawing and

00:26.640 --> 00:29.670
and these guys here we drew earlier in the class right.

00:29.670 --> 00:32.190
And all of the pros and cons we can with these.

00:32.400 --> 00:36.220
So for this guy here we need to first of all vectorize him.

00:36.330 --> 00:37.850
Basically it's called Live trace.

00:37.880 --> 00:42.290
OK so image trace if you select on him and over here there's one image trace.

00:42.300 --> 00:46.710
If you're using a earlier version of illustrator of the top their image trace it doesn't matter a click

00:46.710 --> 00:47.280
on it.

00:47.280 --> 00:53.400
And best results try different ones but normally it's just black and white logo will work.

00:53.430 --> 00:56.920
And the thing about it if I zoom in now it's actually vector shapes that I can fill.

00:56.970 --> 00:59.350
It's not quite ready because you need to expand.

00:59.370 --> 01:00.810
Otherwise it would work.

01:00.820 --> 01:02.220
K now it's lots of pieces.

01:02.220 --> 01:06.820
If I go to outline view command y control line and PCTs actually Victor.

01:06.870 --> 01:08.770
Now I need to color it.

01:08.790 --> 01:13.620
We're going to use our super resourceful shape a little easier for lots of things.

01:13.710 --> 01:15.600
So with it open let's do a couple of things.

01:15.630 --> 01:17.770
Open up our window and swatches.

01:17.880 --> 01:22.740
Now you might what I've done for us and this is where it is IVD cleaned up Milborough never the thing

01:22.740 --> 01:26.540
we learnt in advance to color tips and tricks I've cleaned up our switches panel.

01:26.590 --> 01:28.170
We've got the basics in here.

01:28.170 --> 01:31.500
You might get start with stop mixing colors that you want to color with.

01:31.530 --> 01:33.380
You can do them on the fly.

01:33.510 --> 01:38.230
And another thing you need to double check is if you double click this tool is that you want to make

01:38.230 --> 01:40.550
sure the fiction is on small for the moment.

01:40.560 --> 01:45.240
We'll look at that in a bit more detail in a second and make sure this I turn this off earlier in the

01:45.240 --> 01:45.870
course.

01:45.870 --> 01:50.910
Basically it's the color that appears just above your cursor and I'm not a big fan of it.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.270
So we need to do is click on it and color it's going to pick a starting color.

01:54.390 --> 01:54.960
OK.

01:55.020 --> 02:01.470
And when I click on it once and it's filled with that kind of off I should pick a slightly more specific

02:01.470 --> 02:03.300
color that you can actually see.

02:03.420 --> 02:05.130
So I've clicked on that and it just fills it up.

02:05.350 --> 02:10.410
And if you're running into problems with the hand-drawn type double click this and play around with

02:10.410 --> 02:12.310
the get detection.

02:12.390 --> 02:12.840
OK.

02:12.930 --> 02:17.340
Because you can see in here there is gaps that I've got there any gaps in this one there's a gap right

02:17.340 --> 02:19.430
there at the top right.

02:19.470 --> 02:23.190
And because I've got get protection on it's going is going to fill it for you.

02:23.190 --> 02:24.260
Don't worry about it.

02:24.570 --> 02:25.460
Thank you.

02:25.470 --> 02:31.230
Couple of things I want to do to speed this up is one is the short cut that you weren't short is that

02:31.230 --> 02:38.400
useful back in an earlier video member command on a Mac or control on a PC and it gets rid of all of

02:38.400 --> 02:44.280
that and good points everywhere you know which is just to your police and other cool little shortcut

02:44.310 --> 02:45.630
when you're coloring is key.

02:45.630 --> 02:52.020
See just above my cursor there there is actually three little dots the three little squares the middle

02:52.020 --> 02:53.230
one slightly bigger.

02:53.430 --> 02:57.210
If I go over here close to this panel he can zoom right in back.

02:57.210 --> 02:59.080
Can you see over here my curses.

02:59.130 --> 03:04.950
It's telling me that's the one I have selected but what I want to hit my left to right are you see I

03:04.950 --> 03:09.870
can kind of toggle through the available switches so it kind of makes it nice to kind of have one hand

03:09.870 --> 03:10.570
on your keyboard.

03:10.620 --> 03:16.240
Actually I want this to be this color and then I'll go or duck a color in here for this.

03:16.260 --> 03:20.660
I'm just kind of using my left and right killed the pieces.

03:20.660 --> 03:26.060
If you find it very hard to click zooming in I find that the kind of closer you are zoomed to the easier

03:26.060 --> 03:28.540
it is to get into some of these gaps so I'm using left and right.

03:28.550 --> 03:32.110
You can see a quick and easy it is to start coloring this thing on white.

03:32.150 --> 03:35.130
I want this color.

03:35.130 --> 03:38.710
He doesn't look like much of a color.

03:39.050 --> 03:43.010
And you can actually you don't have to use the swatches you can just use pre-mix color you know make

03:43.010 --> 03:43.570
your own.

03:43.580 --> 03:45.870
So double take this pick a swatch.

03:45.870 --> 03:47.440
I want to a color.

03:48.590 --> 03:50.490
My Raheel flower thing.

03:50.790 --> 03:51.380
OK.

03:51.560 --> 03:55.230
And you can click on him you can see I just picked a random color

04:00.170 --> 04:05.290
really hard to get right in there maybe go.

04:05.360 --> 04:06.070
Come on.

04:06.130 --> 04:07.540
Get to go.

04:07.840 --> 04:09.250
All right so there is how to color.

04:09.250 --> 04:13.510
There's a couple of things you know with this white border on the outside K which you may or may not

04:13.510 --> 04:16.890
want and I'm going to hold down the key on my PC.

04:16.930 --> 04:19.060
Well the option can I can just delete them.

04:19.460 --> 04:25.600
So hopefully now we're going to go to transparency and that's a shortcut we haven't learnt before command

04:25.650 --> 04:32.920
shift D or control shift D goes into that kind of more Photoshop style kind of sense of opacity or transparency.

04:32.950 --> 04:36.860
It allows you to know whether there's white in the background or it's blank.

04:37.140 --> 04:37.800
OK.

04:37.870 --> 04:41.960
And let's look at some of these other guys here.

04:42.080 --> 04:42.400
OK.

04:42.400 --> 04:43.800
Because it's going to run a few more problems.

04:43.810 --> 04:45.730
I left to get there on purpose.

04:45.730 --> 04:47.590
I've got some overlapping bits.

04:47.620 --> 04:52.990
So we want to tidy this up so we've kind of moved on from live during to kind of just coloring anything.

04:53.050 --> 04:55.630
And remember these aren't complete shapes or these big holes.

04:55.630 --> 04:57.570
This guy just kind of overlaps this.

04:57.740 --> 04:59.190
So it's like the mole.

04:59.410 --> 05:06.370
OK let's Gerbe shift him for OWL shaped a little and get to diction is going to be a little bit more

05:06.370 --> 05:07.590
important in this case.

05:07.600 --> 05:15.370
Cagas you'll find things like if I double click it and make the to large you see it's is depicted a

05:15.370 --> 05:21.550
really large gap over here in the here and it's decided that hey I can fill it in and if you are watching

05:21.550 --> 05:25.790
this whole tutorial series that drove me mad a little bit a little while ago.

05:25.980 --> 05:28.080
And anyway so.

05:28.150 --> 05:28.390
Yeah.

05:28.420 --> 05:33.460
You might have to play around with Gap detection to work it out for your particular drawing case and

05:33.460 --> 05:34.300
a click OK.

05:35.920 --> 05:41.980
So let's say I want to do this again I want to color the here and then give the green color and then

05:42.020 --> 05:47.320
a color face this color and the eyes are going to be this color.

05:47.780 --> 05:48.120
OK.

05:48.140 --> 05:49.530
But I've got all these extra bits.

05:49.610 --> 05:55.970
Ok overlap so all I can do is I can hold down the key on PC option and I can just click on them.

05:56.090 --> 05:57.880
These bits just get trimmed up.

05:57.880 --> 05:58.930
I love this mush.

05:58.930 --> 05:59.810
So cool huh.

06:00.100 --> 06:03.940
Can you decide on how kind of detail you want to get rid of these but I'm just holding out.

06:03.970 --> 06:05.560
You can drag across things.

06:05.680 --> 06:08.640
OK so there's a kind of a pile of junk here.

06:08.660 --> 06:12.070
We're going to hold an old trek across the mall to get rid of all that.

06:12.250 --> 06:14.020
You know what I wanted.

06:14.380 --> 06:17.580
Kids getting rid of everything hold and altering them to get with these guys.

06:17.590 --> 06:19.330
I said you could drink across them.

06:19.340 --> 06:21.080
It's not working very well.

06:21.130 --> 06:25.630
All right so I'm going to work my way through and keep coloring that is going to be no difference for

06:25.630 --> 06:26.230
this guy.

06:26.230 --> 06:30.880
What I'd like you to do now is you go through and do it but do some maybe some nicer colors.

06:30.880 --> 06:31.750
I picked these colors.

06:31.750 --> 06:33.220
They seem like they're going to be good.

06:33.220 --> 06:37.060
I even did a demo before I recorded this one and it looked better.

06:37.200 --> 06:40.460
And anyway so the window color themes.

06:40.470 --> 06:41.980
Can you find some nicer color themes.

06:41.980 --> 06:47.920
I want you to fill it with Gap detection delete the lines maybe get rid of the stroke add a cool brush

06:47.920 --> 06:49.190
stroke.

06:49.240 --> 06:50.990
Yeah I'd like to see what you've done.

06:51.010 --> 06:54.600
So either stick it here as the class project.

06:54.640 --> 06:55.120
OK.

06:55.140 --> 07:00.420
Oh there'll be a proper space for it here on the web site but also I'd love to see just take a screenshot

07:00.430 --> 07:05.140
and send it to me on Instagram or in on Twitter.

07:05.140 --> 07:05.590
All right.

07:05.620 --> 07:07.610
I will see you in the next video.
