- Create vibrant portraits with simple shapes, bright colors, and basic geometry.
Start from scratch, or download practice files [adobe.ly/2qlCcxU] for a head start. Steps below.
Prep your project:
1. Open the photo of the model (File - Open).
2. Use Control+R (Windows), Command+R (macOS), too show the rulers.
3. Drag a guide from the side ruler to the center of the model’s face.
4. Lock the image layer.
Draw the face:
1. Choose the Curvature tool.
2. Click to add anchor points to draw an outline around the left side of the model’s face.
Tip: To create corner points and straight lines, hold Alt (or Option) as you click.
3. Click the original point while holding Alt/Option to complete the shape.
4. Hide the photo layer.
5. With the shape selected, choose the Reflect tool (click and hold the Rotate tool to find it).
6. Click on the center guide to set the reflection point.
7. Select the shape and hold Shift+Alt (or Option) as you drag a reflected copy of the face shape.
8. Choose the Selection tool (V) and use Shift+click to select both sides of the face.
9. In the Properties panel (Window - Properties), choose Unite from the Pathfinder options.
10. Choose a Fill color and set the Stroke to ‘none’.
11. Use these techniques to draw facial features and accessories.
Tip: Use the center guide to reflect shapes, unite them, and change fill colors. Press Control+; (Windows), or Command+; (macOS), to toggle guide visibility.
If the Curvature tool inadvertently interacts with other shapes, locking the paths within the layer can help to prevent undesired results.
Add some hair:
1. Choose the Ellipse tool and hold Shift+Alt (or Option) as you drag a circle from the center of the face.
2. Fill the shape with color.
3. Use Shift+Control+[ or Shift+Command+[ to send the hair behind the face.
4. With the hair selected, choose Effect - Distort and Transform - Zig Zag.
5. Experiment with the settings.
Tip: We liked a Size of 10, Ridges per Segment to 11, and Points set to Smooth.
Create hair layers:
1. With the hair selected, choose Object - Expand Appearance to convert the zig zag path to a shape so you can customize the hair with the Shape Builder tool.
2. Hold Alt/Option as you drag to create overlapping copies of hair.
3. Use the Selection tool to select the copies.
4. Select the Shape Builder tool and hold Alt/Option as you drag to remove additional sections of hair outside of the original shape.
5. Change the fill color of each section of hair.
That's it!

Hahah
@@om5621 this is why i use the cs6 version. It doesnt crash like the CC version does.
I enjoyed this quick tutorial but I have more admiration and respect for the time it took to put this specific video together, all that editing, well done.
i liked the way tools were displayed
really cool yeah.
me too but the shortcuts being mac only kinda lame
I like her she's in her eyebrows
How they do that?edited video or the screen recorder have the fiture like that?
Well, honestly that's the kind of tutorials i like. Just showing the process only. Straightforward. Though they skipped a hell lot of steps but they showed the basic thoroughly which makes other steps easy to understand.
For everyone confused on how they got the sunglasses and nose and everything else, you literally just repeat what you did with the face to trace the photo on the bottom layer and then just change it from stroke to fill and reflect it. Illustrator is actually super easy and user friendly, not as complicated as everyone in the comments are pretending it is
Thank you. I'm new at Photoshop and its children so I really was like HUH. Thank you for your explanation.
Maip video the pen tool is super user friendly, and if you read through a lot of the comments, a lot of people are saying they missed a bunch of steps but if you actually watch the tutorial, and actually pay attention, you just repeat the face for the rest of the features and it’s super easy. You don’t have to be an experienced designer you just have to actually care enough to pay attention
Maip video if you need your hand held through a tutorial to understand how to draw basic vector shapes, I’d suggest looking at a more in depth tutorial that’s perhaps 20-30 minutes long and repeats itself every single step.
Maip video with all due respect you’re the one who came after me. I explained the parts that I saw people were having lots of confusion on, and it frustrates me when people criticize tutorials like these, because it shows everything you need to know if you actually watch it. Whether or not you agree is up to you, but I would argue that you were rude as well which did make me feel very defensive, but I do apologize for talking down to you. But really, I have a lot of respect for people who make these tutorials and I think it’s childish to say that they’re not showing you how to do it because you can gather all the information in the video.
Maip video dude give it a rest
I love these videos. To the point, simple to follow. Thank you
I’m glad there’s more in the description but I learn better from watching and would have preferred a longer video.
I’ve honestly been at odds with Adobe lately but this is the kinda content I’d like to see more of.
Came for the lesson. Stayed for the beauty. Slammin soundscape and pacing too.
OK, I'm impressed! I've got to try this myself. Thank you for this.
Literally all the steps are understandable even tho they speed through some steps. Love the tutorial.
With short steps this is how should be the guides of adobe illustrator, thanks a lot
These little tutorials are really helpful, Thanks a lot for uploading.
You made so simple, I jealous. Thanks for the tip.
I blinked and missed everything.
Lol
Lamo
i think it's for advanced users; i like how quick it is; only straight to essential stuff while making sure u use different tools and approach each time. this is Pro!
This is the best video I have ever seen for the vector painting.... And yes I have made a comment century on your video😎😎😎❤️❤️
I’ve been manually reflecting a copy and then aligning it since like forever. Alt+shift drag.... well, duh. You just gave me another month and a half of living.
Love this, a very beautiful creation.
You peeps make it look so simple. It'd take an hour for me to replicate this 🙈
Also! Making this for someone else's photo would be even more difficult hahahah
Haha, I just did it for the first time but with a different picture and I took time to make it more detailed. Took about 60 min.

@@samuelmiller3222 looks great
you better change your job
@@kaesekrustechannel I don't have one now. Quit one a year back. Looking to develop my skills now.
Clever! Nice job. Thanks for sharing!
These tutorials would be great if they were like 3-5min long instead of trying to make it a minute
Hi Rish, there are full instructions in the description box. I hope that helps!
Agreed.
This is so freaking cool. I wish I could make one for myself. Thank you!
One like!!! For how they show the tools.... That was really nice👏
That was freakin’ sick! Thanks for this ⚡️⚡️⚡️
As always unique, different and classy the Adobe way.
The editing itself is art 👍
I hate and love how easy you make this look !
Amazing tutorial!! It simplified so greatly!
This video changes my life, It proves that tracing is not that difficult .. people thought it is though and we cannot do this ...
loved this tutorial + learned a few shortcuts!
I will try it with my mom. I think she will learn this as her first work made in illustrator. 😍
some nice tips there, especially the last bit with the hair and colour
Brilliant but I wish you do talk us through your drawing process, like how you use layers in such a drawing etc etc... otherwise this is a beautiful little piece!
Why is this video so relaxing?
I love the makeup it's so perfect
I like editing style of video- Impressive-
