Learn how to quickly draw dog portraits in illustrator using only a mouse and pen tool. Learn techniques to break up a portrait into visible color patterns to create depth yet keeping a simplistic style. Use the pen tool to snap, cut, and quickly flush out your portrait.
This class dives right into:
1. How to setup the file to make it easy on you. Live look at dog vector illustrations, how they are built, and getting a sense of style and detail. Also we take a look at other illustrations I have done.
2. Drawing the nose - it's a focal point!
3. Drawing the eyes to have soul. Last part of video has a speed build to watch for.
4. Drawing an ear with punch techniques and detailed areas using the pathfinder tool.
5. (speed) Drawing the mouth - how much slobber do you really need?
