Raccoon Portrait

Raccoon Portrait - student project

In this class, you will create an animal portrait. Each video will cover a different stage in using the Illustrator pen tool to draw your animal. The animal you draw is up to you and is based on symmetry and clean lines. My animal portrait is shown below in progress. First, we create some lines which serve as a foundation.

Second, we isolate the parts on separate layers and fill in our lines to make shapes. We also add some basic color so that the animal starts to look like a final drawing.

Third, we add details and play with some color. I added a background to pull it all together and this is ready to post on social media or use in a design project!
