Design your own shape based character using the shape builder tool in Illustrator.
Back when I was taking traditional courses in college (wait…did that happen that long ago?) I learned that everything can be drawn using simple shapes. In this quick lesson-based course in Adobe Illustrator, you will learn how to use the illustrator shape tools and the shape builder tool to create a simple but effective cartoon animal.
Remember this as you move forward:
- Anything can be created using simple shapes.
- Start with something simple and work your way up to more complex cartoons.
- Remember that you have to roll, scootch and crawl before you can walk or run.
- Colors can make or break a design; make sure you are drawing inspiration from things you love…. I’ve been inspired by my morning cereal box.
*Make sure you download the attached Shapebuilder Guide pdf and open in adobe illustrator*
Use this guide to “trace” the shapes until you get the hang of it or just use it as a backup of written instructions you can print out and use to help you along your way.
