1. Introduction: Welcome to O new Design course, gris creating stunning
graphic posters with Adobe Illustrator
volume two. My name is Tangio, and as a passionate
graphic designer, I've always been drawn to the proportions and
order of grids. In this course, I
will share with you special techniques and workflows
tailored for designers. Who want to create precise compelling and logically
beautiful posters in Adobe Illustrator. This course is suitable for all those interested
in graphic design, whether you are ready to create fine graphic design work are striving for the
beauty of order, or want to find a
balance between the two. You will find here a framework that will help you
create impressive work. I will see you in
the next video.
2. Sketch: Visualising your ideas on a grid: This lesson, we will sketch. So let's get started. I've got the bottom grade ready. I'm going to start with the
main body of the picture. The subject is a crane. Let's start join the neck. When d joining this
type of figure, the geometry can
be a bit stronger. And then there's
the sharp mouth. Don't draw to realistically,
slightly short size, and the extra long calf
can be drawn more simply. It doesn't have to
be complicated. Replace the claw part
with three lines. Don't forget its wins. Continue to draw some of the
elements I want to appear. In this grid, I would
like to place two fans. We can start with one fan and then copy it add a
little more detail. Just replace it with
a straight line. Okay, the first fan is done. The second fan is
done in the same way. Ow it randomly. Okay. We're done. Next is the grid
to the left of the fan. I want to put two stars. Make another copy. Okay, we're done, simply join a circle. This is the part where I
want to draw three chunk. The chunk is covered
with flowers. Again, no need to
make it complicated. The chunk is complicated. It's possible to go
beyond the grid, add some flowers and fruits
to enrich the image. Here's another one.
Okay, well done. There's a small area underneath the Queen's neck
because it's obscured, can be replaced by a straight
line. Keep it simple. The small space here
is not very big. Replace fill with meters. Here what to draw mountain. And of course, some snow on the mountain that
would be perfect. The space on the right
is perfect for flower. Just the right size. I'm not sure what to draw here. So I copy the stars from
above to fill the frame. Next is the area on the right. I really like the
lantern element, so I'm going to take the plunge. Enrich the lantern. Keep it simple. The grid
on the right is very long. So I want to put some
geometric elements. A couple Cp and paste. A couple versions. Okay, Done. The lower part of
the queen's leg. I want to draw a sunset. In the low right corner, I want to copy the
chunk above it. The chunk facing left. Simple. Also add flowers and fruits. Here's another one. Okay, the tree is done because the branches
are on the upper layer. It's a little bit
simpler down there. Continuing to utilize
the elements used above, repetition can be
aesthetically pleasing. Fill in the sections here. There's a little
space at the bottom. I'm going to put in
some lines instead. It looks low next to the sunset, adding some flowers to
enrich the picture. Okay, we done. The elements below
the coins head have not been drawn yet. I don't want to use to
complicated elements. In this part, replace
it with a simple line. Repeat for a few. The Crane's body still
looks very empty. A few more clouds to
accent the crane. One more. And finally, add
the font element. Almost forgot about this place. Let's add some geometry. The draft section
is now complete.
3. Linework: Outlining the Elements: In this lesson, we continue
to draw line work. Let's start by
drawing the main part of the picture.
This is the crane. Use the pin tool to
draw along the sketch. You can reserve
more anchor points. The outlined lines
are more rounded. Don't forget the mouths. The legs can be made simpler. The clo part is
replaced by a line. It is also quite to
draw the wings smaller. Now, the crane is finished. Let's continue with the
fan he. Simply outline. Finish him according
to your own feelings. Here's another little fan. Replace the fan with
a straight line. Okay, the first fan is done. Select it fan. Hold down
the dt key and drag it out. The second fan is also done. This part is obscured by the
main body, can be simpler. There's a little peak here. Simply outline. Outline
the mountains dimensions. Select these two objects. Select the shape generator tool. Hold down Out key to
subtract the excess. Draw a circle with
Z Ellipse tool. Make four copies.
Find the window in the status bar again. Selecting the pass finder,
select five circles. Click on the first
connection. And that's it. Next, draw the rectangle
here and make a copy of it. Drag the buttons on both sides
to complete the graphic. Select the mirror tool to
complete horizontally. Drag down to form a circle. Zoom in group. Adjusting to the right position. Hold down the out
key and make a copy, repeat the previous operation
by pressing control and D. Drag it down and u down. Here, the base shape is completed with a
few straight lines. Select it to copy horizontally
with the reflex tool. Rotate it and down. I almost forgot to group him. Go on down here. Join rectangle with Ellipe tool. Selecting two shapes,
cutting off the top layer. Make more copies. Repeat
the previous operation. Hold down the key and drag down. One copy, turn it over, make a couple copies,
and that's it. The lantern is right next
to it. Then draw eight. Draw it with Ellipe
tool and adjust eight. The top and bottom are
done with the rectangle. The end can be done
with the st to. Next is the lower
part of the lantern. Copy the previous own
structure, fill in. Hold down the art key to
copy, selecting two shapes. Hold down the t
key, make a copy, press control and D. Finish
copying, key to complete. This is still done
with Z Ellipse tool. Adjusting it a bit. The blades of grass
here are also simpler. I won't explain more. I almost forgot the part in the lower right
corner with the slash. Join a rectangle,
make several copies. Adjust the orientation.
Continue formation. Copy the rectangle in
the lower right corner. Oh selecting two objects, creating a clipping mask. Drag it to its original
position, adjusted. Replace the bottom part
with a straight line. The top edge is still
the same as before. Continuing to ow the
branch flow with the pin. You can use the own. Make several copies. Check, drag to the
lower right corner. Group, selecting the mirror, vertical determination, it
over to adjust the position. Oh, Write it out here with your own text tool. Zoom into ft. The grains are now complete.
4. Coloring the Elements & Background: This lesson continues with
the coloring of the lines. First, the background. The background clearly splits the links between the grives. So prioritize coloring
for the background. Try to separate the colors
between the grives. White color on this part, pink, red is better. Try blue here. I accidentally made a mistake. Maybe try a gradient color. It would be more comfortable, fill in the blanks with color. Continue with the
back ground color. Black is best adjacent
to light pink. Let's continue. Would dark blue be better here? Let's go light blue. Continue with the blue gradient. The lower portion
of the gradient is held down with black. The lower red corner
is also in black. And the little corner here. Still in black. Let's move
on to the upper fan section. I prefer the contrasting
colors of black and red. To unify, the fan tail
is also black and red, copy and paste on the right. Wow. There's also a decoration in the background. A different color of blue is
used to suppress the image. And here's a little peak. The background is red, so it's more comfortable to use black and white
contrasting colors. I didn't want to use the normal red color
for the flowers. I'd like to try black. Lanterns are better in red. But the white is a
little too bright here. Change it to red. I just said, I don't like
regular red flowers. But red is still the
best color here. Here. The white color is
also very bright. Let's make it red too. Next color in the
all important cream. The beak is also in black. A little red on the head
is a green specialty. There's a little wing here. The legs can be
replaced with black. I almost forgot there's a
branch out there. Try blue. But I'd like to make
some distinctions. Let's go with black here. The clouds here also turn red. The coloring is done. Mu.
5. Bonus: "Spring Forest" Poster Drawing Process: Welcome back to my class. This is a bonus. We will
draw another graphic poster. I won't go into too much
detail in this lesson because these
techniques have already been covered in
previous lessons. This is a slightly more immersive demonstration
of the process. So I hope you enjoy watching. The theme of this poster
is spring flowers. The first thing I did
was sketch the poster. This time with a different grad. Okay, we're done
with the sketches. Let's move on to the line join. O Oh. O Oh. Ohh o Oh. Oh. Ooh. M. M Okay, we're done with the poster. Thanks for watching.
We'll see you next time.
