- In this video I show you the technique I used in the early stages of my illustrator career for creating illustrative portraits. This technique is great for practicing with the pencil tool and identifying shapes within an image. The ability to combine simple shapes and turn them into a greater image is an important skill when it comes to character design.

@@codyabanks much appreciated 🔥keep going …I wish more people knew about your channel ,I’ll keep on sharing
I have been really inspired by you lately!! I really enjoy watching your videos. I specifically watched this one all the way through because I wanted to do the same thing you just did but for a picture of my girlfriend's guinea pig. I outlined but I struggled with definition. Using the pencil technique and drawing all the shadows/highlights really gives definition. Thank you so much!
Just saw your post. Turned out nicccee
Fantastic tutorial! Just found your TH-cam channel and I'm a regular on your Instagram. Really appreciate all the work u put in! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

hello sir, I watched all your videos you are an amazing talented soul. can u please teach as any other simple way for vector portrait art?
could you talk about colors more? how do you find shades? this was awsome, thank you
Check out my color palette video 👍🏽
can you make a content on how to have an idea or how to make a mascot designs etc.?
yo man, very nice video. is there a reason why you keep the "Fill new pencil strokes" checked in the pencil settings? i imagine it would make your flow even faster if that is checked off as you can go straight to 'i' or the eyedropper tool instead of having to '/' to remove the fill. for me that's quite a bother when you have your right hand on the mouse and your left on the keyboard as the '/' key is usually at the far right haha
That’s a good point. For me it’s become habit to hit ‘/‘ but for anyone just starting out it would probably make sense to adjust settings so “fill new pencil strokes” is unchecked. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏽
niceee
Bro u r cracked
thank you sir
Do you use a pen and a tablet, or a mouse?
He said no
Hi Cody, I was following your tecnique to draw a portrait of Mac Miller but he is wearing a patterned shirt and I'm not sure how to make it. Do you think you could help me out? Also let me know how I should send you the picture because it's kind of hard to send it through a comment.
For the patterned shirt try identifying the shadows and highlights as the shapes and ignore the pattern. Might be tricky but it’s okay if the shirt is less detailed.
@@codyabanks Ok, I'll see what I can do. Thank you so much.
Is there a specific name for this type of illustration?
I personally just call them vector portraits
