High there in this video we're going to make this paper cut effect using Adobe Illustrator.
All right let's jump in and do it.
All I do is stop making this effect.
We are going to use it of type.
The one thing Also we're going to use some colors that are from the 80s at the beginning there's just
make sure you document say that or document does.
RG But you just can't reach those colors with seem like k.
So grab the type to create a letter and I'm just going to use that X like you saw and I'm going to use
a nice big thick font.
OK so am I going to use Muzio slab.
It's part of type kit.
You can download that for free as part of your license.
If you don't have Museo you can just go into here and go slab therof and see what slabs you have on
here.
OK.
I feel like I have more than that.
But anyway on a tune I'm going to go for like super chunky even chunky.
Them and Us make nice and big.
And I am going to outline it.
OK.
And you need to outline the font.
Eventually I'm going to make a copy over here.
We've all done it right.
You outline it and you can't remember what it was.
So this guy is going to be outlined.
So type create outlines and now we're going to do some drawing.
OK so up to you you can be super precise with the curvature or pintu.
I'm not going to use the pencil to but just make sure that I've double clicked the panes with two smoothing
is that really high and you've unselected keep selected.
That's just the pain when drawing.
One thing I wish I wish I had my way come Tebbutt with me again I'm stuck inside with the snow.
Snow storm.
OK so we're filming from home no Wakem.
That's OK.
Now when I'm drawing on it it doesn't really matter what colors you pick now but that it needs no fill
at any stroke.
I'm going to do three strokes.
I'm going to do yellow green and sign for my three levels.
Now when you're drawing there's nothing to it.
It's going to start from the outside in.
It's totally up to you.
But we're going to go all the way around.
I'll show you what I mean I'm going to kind of draw around here with some loopy thing that's going to
come in and out.
There's probably there's there's a lot of work that goes into kind of guessing what it's going to look
like at the end so we can do some adjustments later on.
You want to come back to the beginning.
I should probably loop back on itself but look fine.
And you can see with the pencil to up and smoothing it made me look like I'm pretty good with my mouse
here.
All right so that's the first level I'm going to draw.
Another one.
That is the green OK.
And this one here is just going to say it's going to be like peeking in around the sky in and out a
little bit but he's like kind of like the next level down that we saw in that video.
You mean needing to leave enough room I guess for whatever you decide how many levels you're going to
do.
We did three in this case three plus the background Eagles.
And I'm just coming back.
OK.
All right.
We'll see this next set up I'm just going to use blue.
So let's go speedy vision
borrower back so that scribbly mass is in there is the reason I picked the colors I guess and now we're
going to choose a set of colors to use for it.
I'm going to get a window color things just pick some colors color the thing.
OK.
And if you go from create to explore you get a bunch of colors and minds on most popular this month
zoo.
The one I'm going to use if you can't find it and you want to use it.
Just type in zoo and search and you should be able to find them.
Now what we need now is for squares game for all four different levels the three kind of squiggles Plus
the background.
So draw a rectangle above the thing you want to you know just needs to be bigger doesn't really matter
how much bigger.
And we need to decide on the labels.
I'm going to start with orange and I'm going to drag it up holding alt and then hit Kamandi.
So I've got one two three four segment.
All right.
The orange blue green.
All right.
So I've got these guys.
Now I want to lay these guys out on top of that.
So let's do them in some sort of order.
So I'll do this one here.
Bring them to the front so that I can see him.
Who is next.
Green was next range bring to France.
You can write with them to bring them to the front.
And that guy just kind of fills in the background.
So I've got the story now all I need to do is make them a compound Poth.
You can get an object combine Poth make or select them both and go command.
It will control it on a PC.
OK so I've got my bits and pieces now I want to stack them on top of each other so this can be a bit
of a pain like I want to put this guy up top.
This guy should be right down the back.
So just keep playing with your order until you get something working.
You really do not want to stick to that and lining them all up.
Perfect.
And that guy is at the back.
All right.
So one two three four.
All right.
So give it the 3D kind of effect and what we're going to do is have it selected all of them and we're
going to go to a fix and we're going to apply stylize and it's just a drop shadow K because it's a compound
shapes.
There's a hole in it.
Josh Alex Garko And let's go Preview can in a glow and change the mode to normal and use black.
But I want this kind of like 3D effect.
So it's not in here it's just a matter of playing around right.
I've kind of played around with it already you know it's kind of happy with how it looked here.
Maybe it's down a bit and so it's just kind of a matter of playing around Meshal previews on you can
kind of see it's got its really nice.
OK.
Now another thing I like to do well.
When I was playing around is I like it when ahead like a second drop shadow.
That was just a little bit smaller.
Saw showrooming mean you can leave it like this totally because it gets a little confusing I want to
add a second drop shadow.
I closed down the parents about what I mean to do is go fix and let's go to stylize and drop shadow.
And this is going to apply a second one day and clicking on it it's going to freak out a bit.
That's ok to play around with the shadow order.
So just fun.
Just take it from me at the moment just go live it at 60.
I'm going to do one by one by much.
In this preview off it's freaking out one by one by two just kind of a really thin offsets and not much
Blar reasonably strong to change that.
Click OK to apply the shadow and it just doesn't work right.
It's applying a shadow on top of another shedder which is let's go to the parents panel.
He has two of them applied.
Now what we need to do is just change this law order so I can drag this one underneath.
And this is where some time it doesn't want to do it right.
So we have to do it individually.
OK.
Because they're all mixed appearances so this is why you do want to do it.
So all I'm going to do is get a wife free mode which is a view and the top one hit command y control
y on a PC and you click on Madrick section to click on this guy and I'll drag him underneath the next
line and they're drink underneath these to do individually not to outright kill.
So that should be it.
It's go back out to wireframe you be preview.
That's kind of what I was looking to do.
I might have to change that setting.
It's maybe a bit too dark around here.
Let's click on it and you can adjust them now.
So the bottom one we want the top one we want.
Dan get on with it.
All right.
That's the penciling it down.
OK.
Kind of was looking a little bit more did that make it too big.
I'm not going to go change it because you want to carry on.
All you need to do now is clip it inside this.
So I grab my locker.
So like this guy I'll keep a version up there and drag it kind of roughly how we want make sure it's
at the back of the X..
Can you get it kind of lined up and then select them all and then hit C'mon sit down.
Walk up to your PC controls in the hallway clipping mask make and we 3D easing.
I think there's too much black on that shutter but I'm going to fix it afterwards.
I'm not going to keep you any longer but now we've done it with curls.
You can do it with spikes you can do with anything it's just kind of basically compound shapes with
a drop shadow gives you that kind of papercut look.
Now it's time for class exercise.
OK.
And it's going to be just doing a different light with different blobs with different colors.
You can use the same colors.
I'd love to see it because it's such a cool like it's pretty simple Do they come along.
But you know quite creative I feel so I'd love to see it if you could post it to us social media wise
Instagram and Springer and laptop and Twitter is Dallam's Adobe.
I stick it on the site as well as a project.
OK so take a screenshot showing me.
I'd love to see it.
And let's see what everybody makes.
Cool.
All right.
Next video.
