graphics Adobe Illustrator tutorial
what is up people welcome back to satori graphics the home of graphic design
content right here on YouTube today a super cool yet super simple tutorial on
how to turn yourself into vector art using Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator so
follow along and turn yourself into vector art today with Satori graphics so we're
going to start working a photoshop for this tutorial and how to turn yourself
into vector art and then we're going to be able to illustrate to later
so in Photoshop open up image and it's best to get quite a high quality crisp
image with as much of a white backdrop as possible open the layers window then
double click the layer to unlock it you will now need to take the quick
selection tool I want to cut out yourself from the image e to click and
drag along the areas that you want to select and cut out you can also hold
down the alt option key and click Lee with areas that you don't want to select
if you enough selecting them I would use quite a low size for the quick selection
tool somewhere around 3 to 5 so when you have a selection around yourself like I
do here go ahead and make a new document and the size doesn't matter too much
then with the selection tool click and drag the selection on to the new
document we want to totally white background for this very tart effect so
press command or ctrl T to a size and position yourself onto the air board
from here you can take the eraser tool with quite a soft brush and go around
the edges carefully feathering them with the semi low opacity in Photoshop is
always a good idea duplicate your layer so if you do mess up big-time you always
have a backup layer to go back to say I'm a semi ginger beard I'm gonna
quickly show you some feathering you want to take your time doing this to get
a smooth and refined edge of yourself so when you've done that and go to image
appearance and Xuan saturation you want to touch the desaturate the image so
it's black and white then in the last window locate the levels window play
around the settings you want to make the image of quite a strong contrast between
black and whites and make the oval image itself for their dark we then need to
play around with the threshold settings for a better effect in today's tutorial
so again play around the settings here and take your time into your image fits
your taste we have one more thing to do in Photoshop and then we're gonna move
over to illustrator to complete this vector art Yourself tutorial
go up to layers and then flatten your image and then in the FX panel add a
color overlay
choose the color that you want to use and set the blend mode to normal and
lower the opacity you'll notice that there are two shades of the same color
and this is way one for today tutorial
lastly save the image as a JPEG and open up in Illustrator so now here we are
native illustrator for this back to our tutorial go ahead and open up the image
trace window with the image selected this will take a lot of adjusting and
time but make sure you click color at the top and choose two colors then click
preview and play around with your image trace settings until you're happy here
you can see my final settings from way back to our design when you're happy go
to object image trace and expand you see eyedropper tool to select the colors and
you can then take the rectangle tool and sample those colors to refer back to
later any stage in your designer
you can also end group everything if you want to but it's not necessary for the
final part of this back to our tutorial you need some vectors you can head over
to my vectors linked in the top right corner at the screen or you can find
some of the vet as you want online they're bound to be some free vectors
out there if you look on Google but the idea is to choose a vector copy with the
command or ctrl C and then paste onto your design with command or control V
you just need to get creative with your layout and see what you can come up with
I spent quite a bit of time avatar design but ideally I would have liked to
spend a lot more time doing it but you could of course take your time to get
creative with turning yourself into vector art
