1, after opening AdobeIllustrator and creating a new document of 850x850 pixels in width and height, we will begin to draw the head, which is the same for all women. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to draw an ellipse. In the image below you can see the fill color you need. To change this shape: Go to Effects > Transform > Fish. Enter the options you see below and press OK.
2. For the eyes, first create a brown oval (using the Ellipse Tool (L)). and rotate it slightly to the left. Next, create a white ellipse (using Control-C and Control-F) in front of the brown one. Move it down along the diagonal to the right.
End the eye with a small dark brown circle. To make an even circle, use the Ellipse Tool (L) while holding down the Shift key. Finally, group all the eyes (right-click > Group).
3. Place the eyes on the left side of the head. Take the Reflection Tool (O) and click on the forehead while holding down the Alt key. In the new dialog window, select Vertical, Angle 90 degrees, and press Copy. You should now have two eyes.
4. Place a small circle on the face where the nose is. Create another circle and while keeping it selected, pick up the Straw Tool (I) and click on the face. Your new circle will now get the same color as the face. Make the two circles overlap so that you can see the crescent shape. This is the nose.
Using the same technique, create an ear. Take the Reflection Tool (O) and hold down the Alt key and click in the middle of the head. In the new dialog window, select Vertical, angle 90 degrees, and press Copy. You should now have two ears.
5. Make the eyebrows. Using the Ellipse Tool (L), create a thin, horizontal, dark-colored ellipse. Then using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the top and bottom anchor points of the ellipse by dragging them and sliding them up. This will be the eyebrows.6. Place the eyebrow on the left side. Feel free to rotate it, but you want to-just don't make her angry! Make the other eyebrow using the same technique you used to create the eye and ear. Now you have two eyebrows.
7. To draw the mouth, draw a new horizontal ellipse. Select this new ellipse and switch the left and right anchor points by clicking on them with the Switch Anchor Point tool (Shift-C). Create a new white ellipse in front (Control-C, Control-F).Shrink it, but make sure the white ellipse stays inside the brown one. Very important: combine the entire mouth.
After this, go to Influence > Twist > Arc and enter the options you see below.
8. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), add a rectangle under the head to create the neck. It should have the same fill color as the face. While keeping it selected, go to Effect > Distort > Highlight. In the new dialog window, enter the options you see in the image below. Expand this shape (Object>Expand Appearance).
9. To finish the head, let's add some curly hair. Draw a large circle at the back of the head. Keep it selected and go to Object>Path> Add Anchor Point. Do this a few times and you'll notice how you can add anchor points evenly across the circle.
Then go to Effects > Distort and Transform > Crease and Swell. In the new dialog window, move the slider to the right end to get 6% and press OK. You should end up looking like curly hair. Don't forget to expand this shape (Object > Expand Appearance).
Seek advice on how to learn illustration (no drawing foundation)The first point: how to draw the five senses of the manga character:
1. The basis of the head perspective: generally speaking, the eyes are in the center of the overall head, as a coordinate to set the other proportions of the facial crosshairs can help to keep the five senses as a whole, you can add another corner of the center line to try.
2. The structure of the five senses of the practice method demonstration: the eye structure can be imagined as a piece of cloth on the ball opened a small mouth, to determine the diamond shape of the eyes, pay attention to the corner of the eye to draw the eyes.
3. Nose: first summarized into a triangular rhombus, according to perspective to change the basic type, mainly the root of the nose, nose, nose three main parts.
4. Mouth: the mouth is a combination of three balls, master the basic shape of the lips and then go to consider the movement of the mouth, the mouth is mainly five spherical structures interspersed, pay attention to the location of the point of the outer structure.
5. Ears: the shape of the ear can be imagined as c+y, the height of the ear and the nose is actually almost the same, so you can pay more attention to the practice.
The second point: how should I draw the relationship between the head, neck and shoulders?
1. A lot of the structural points will be expressed in a 50/50 form. Pay attention to simplify the structure and proportion.
2, head perspective can basically be understood as a large square plus half a square square.
3, the neck pay attention to the position of the spine and the tendency to lean forward.
4, the shoulders are mainly faults because of the trapezius muscle, you can go this way to simplify the structure.
5, be sure to practice three views through the square to understand the structure of their faces.
The third point: anime practice eight ways:
1, the first question: at the beginning of a lot of times will not be able to figure out the difference between this kind of elevation and the big perspective, in fact, the difference lies in the position of the camera, the near position of the perspective of the degree of inclination will be a little bigger.
2, position and perspective: close to the camera position perspective tilt will be greater, can be understood as a Michelin tire man. I will have a detailed demonstration in the latest 30 days to play the animation special training camp.
3, perspective: pay attention to the flat view, meaning that you can not bring the angle, pay attention to the angle and distance of the camera.
4, details: drawing the head of each angle pay attention to draw the diagonal distance, pay attention to the expression of each detail! Also note the degree of balance of the composition.
5, the combination of exercises: you can try to draw some different combinations of forms, such as Mickey Mouse, Astro Boy or some of the old cartoon images can go to the combination.
6, partial: the hand of the bone point is the mouth hard place, the latest knowledge about the hand is, pay attention to the hardest part of the hand. This piece will be specifically mentioned to you inside the 30-day anime camp.
7, muscle: the foundation of the weaker students at the beginning do not go to consider the muscle composition, but to practice doll body block at the same time pay attention to the curve. Muscle system is actually complex, it is recommended that the beginning of one to two years of students do not as a focus to train. Other one muscle and some demonstrations.
