  1. Using the Paintbrush in Adobe Illustrator

  2. We are going to create a cartoon • You will be creating a cartoon in Adobe Illustrator using the paintbrush tool • You will learn about layers, different brushes, and different strokes • To start, we will begin by downloading the picture from http://mrsrais.weebly.com/ew--digital-art.html

  3. I am using this picture of my sweet baby for my source image. You will also be using this picture!!

  4. Choosing the right brush • I can see my brush options by going to Window> Brushes

  5. Brush library • The small button that looks like file folders is your brush library • Clicking on that opens up all of your brush options • We will start with the Artistic_Caligraphic brushes

  6. You can see that when you choose a new brush, it opens it in another window • Now choose your brush tool from the tool bar on the far left of your screen

  7. layers • Open the layers menu through Window> Layers • Create a new layer by clicking on the button that looks like a piece of paper

  8. Adding new layers • Now you can add new layers to make it easier to draw. • I put the black parts of the eye on one layer and the blue part on another layer • You can select and deselect layers by clicking on the eyeball ***If you forget to make a new layer, you can cut and paste to take a shape from one layer to another.

  9. Continue drawing • The idea is to continue drawing by tracing some parts and adding some of your own. • Be original, don’t just trace the image exactly as it appears. • DETAILS are key • VARIETY of BRUSHES and STROKE SIZES are key
