to Satori graphics 46 graphic design
uploads per week like I said in the
intro you don't need to be good at
drawing you can throw half of the lines
of the finished design to make this
amazing line art technique in illustrator their i
use the Wacom tablet for the first part
you can use a mouse or laptop touchpad
and you can use a brush or pencil it
doesn't matter we just want to create
some lines here the key thing to
remember here is the draw shapes
instead of detail its effect works best
with animals you can try anything you
wish do not add so much detail such as
eyes or fair this makes misshapes make
sure that each shape is connected as one
continuous line
so here I have one shape for the head
one shape for the wing with with some
little detail and then one shape with
the body and select all of the lines for
one of your shapes so I'm going to
choose the wing here I'll down shape to
select multiple lines then go to objects
blend and then blend options make sure
you specify steps and that this first
option here below is used the amount of
steps you're going to have to play
around with it for yourself and see what
works best for your design to generate
the effect we have to go back up to
object blend and then make it took quite
a while to get what I wanted so keep
changing your settings and even go back
to your line art and tweak it a bit it
can be tricky as you can see I've made
one other design here with the same
method i only have tweaked the lion out
slightly
you can now select it oh and then change
the color of the lines as well as add a
gradient in the next step I'm going to
show you how to add your design to a
poster in photoshop
here is an image of from picks up a calm

link with this exact postal mock-up that
i'm going to be using once you have
downloaded the mock-up open these two
files here
profitable image behind the poster
layers
and we'll click this layer here this is
where our design is going to go based
your image onto this layer and then
adjust it to the way you want to have it
in global illustrator and copy your line
art with ctrl or command C and paste
into Photoshop with ctrl or command V
I then duplicate this layer with ctrl
command J and then add an optical effect
to the layer
