![]() ![]() It’s doable to an extent, but the more one pushes Illustrator in that direction, the more difficult it becomes to cut across the grain or pedal into the wind. ![]() So trying to create something in a hand-drawn style in Illustrator is a bit of a battle against what Illustrator is best at. ![]() Illustrator excels at creating geometric objects. It’s great for typography, logos, page layouts and similar purposes that are basically, just hard-edged shapes filled with color. It’s not at all a painterly or organic approach to drawing. The code underlying a vector drawing is built around geometry and algebra. That’s basically it - beyond that it’s just permutations of those core abilities. He still sketches out the basics by hand, scans it in, then draws over everything in Photoshop with a drawing tablet using various layers to keep all the elements separate (like the black lines from the colors beneath).Īt its core, Illustrator (or any vector drawing application) draws lines, geometric shapes and fills those shapes with color. I’m pretty good friends with a successful editorial cartoonist. Duplicating your style of illustration using a vector drawing application will be difficult - not impossible, but not an entirely good fit. It requires a reset in one’s thinking and a different way of approaching the problem. Illustrator isn’t like drawing things by hand. You, however, could use a pressure sensitive pen to control the width of, say, the blub brush. I’ve played around with tablets and pressure sensitive pens, but I’m not an illustrator and I found no particular use for them. You can set up layers and, if you’d like, keep all your black lines on the top layer and all the colored shapes beneath them. I guess i need a yes or no answer if we are allowed to draw on one layer, color in the lower layer.Īs for the default line weight and shape fill, you can change them to anything you’d like. ![]()
