Once again, a step by step on how i did my poster because it's always good to learn how to do it.
1. I
placed the first sketch and started to trace all around it to get the form and shape using the
pen tool.
2. Next, i proceed with
tracing the sketch of the little forest friends carefully using the
pen tool. Mostly used the pen tool but
for the uneven leaf-like outline, i used the pencil tool as it was easier to make the lines look smooth and un-even.
3. Added both of the traced outlines together to form a base for the whole poster.
4. Coloured the big Willow tree using the
Live Paint Tool which was quite frustrating near the end as i have forgotten to close all paths. So there was an awkward moment there while trying to colour.
I didn't take a screenshot of the coloured little forest friends as the process is almost the same as this one.
5. Using the reference photo of the Willow leaf, i carefully
traced the shape of it using the pen tool. Somehow the shape was fun to trace due to the fact that it's curvy and not cubic, i suppose.
6. I coloured the leaves using the
Paint Bucket tool and started to
arrange the leaves one by one seeing as how the symbol sprayer tool was not effective enough for me to use and i had time to waste.
I duplicated, transformed, played around with the shape of the leaf and after doing a lot of duplicating, i finally stopped at that current point where the willow tree looks good enough.
7. Of course, i didn't forget about the background. I did the
silhouette chopped off trees at the back using the
pen tool and pretty much
flat colours.
As for the sky, i used the same technique as the one i did for my illustration. I used the brush to line up the clouds, making it look like a mist of clouds rather than puffy cotton-candy-like clouds.
8. Added the little forest friends into the whole thing just to test out how it looks and i'm pretty much happy with it.
9. Added the motherly Willow tree face on it because it just won't do without a face. Honestly, i'll confess that i used my mom's face for this because i couldn't come up with a motherly face to draw therefore i took her photo and traced it using the
pen tool and altered it in some way so that it won't look like her face at the same time.
And no, i'm not showing the steps on how i traced my mom's face here haha.
10. Added the
final touch up, the logo, and my caption for the whole poster: Together for Greenery; Save our Forests. Behold, the final product!
