Hi, I'm James Brown and welcome to Pattern Designers.
I hope you're having a great day wherever you are in the world, whether you're in NYC,
whether you're in LA, whether you're in London, whether you're in Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong.
In this tutorial, I'm going to run you through how I draw a kitty in adobe illustrator.
Be sure to stick around to the end to get our free textile design cheat sheet.
How to draw kung fu kitty in adobe illustrator.
Okay, let's get started on drawing kung fu kitty in illustrator and open up illustrator,
create a new document, A4, landscape and create.
I'm just going to place in a sketch of kung fu kitty I did earlier.
Move it over to the center and lock in position.
With a brush, I'm just going to draw it freehand.
It's actually smoothing the line out so it's not got a super hand-drawn feel but ... which
is I want it a bit more of a hand-drawn feel.
But, let's just get it all drawn and I'll talk about that later.
We'll draw the mouth and then do some whiskers.
I'm just trying not to go over the bandana with the whiskers.
I didn't want to have a black and white line to show the whiskers.
Then, let's just get these eyes done.
We're nearly set, nearly done.
I'm just going to unlock the drawing and move it across.
It's not too bad.
Then, just going to
make that black and fill these white and just make his bandana black.
I'm just going to try surround these lines and then fill it in with black to save a bit
of time.
Going to do the same with this and make the lines work for the little creases in the bandana.
Just make them white.
Make the inside of this black.
Send to back and then make the inside of this black and send to back.
And just make that inside of that black as well but send them to front, so those white
lines go behind.
Then you have this kung fu kitty.
I'm just going to move his nose over slowly to see if I can make him smile a bit more.
There you go.
So he's a bit cheekier.
Just going to make his ears a bit sharp, a bit higher.
I think that's good.
I'm just going to tilt it so it's not on so much of an angle.
I like that.
Next, I'm going to just check out some brushes.
Go to open library.
Just try that vector hero pack.
It's too lumpy.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, don't mind that.
I'm just going to have another look and see what other brushes I can use this time.
Sketch, try sketch and see what that does.
Yeah, let's have a look at these.
That vector tool kit, I'll just show you what it is.
It's called the vector brush toolkit and there's a bunch of different brushes that you can
use just for illustrator.
I'm just going try to look at these, see what these look like.
Not sure about that.
No, definitely not.
[inaudible 00:06:24] that wiggly stroke looking like.
It's [inaudible 00:06:33].
No, I don't like that.
That's not good.
Let's have a look.
There's vector hero, let's have a look.
This might be skinnier.
Think he's going to be just, yeah, simple like that.
That's the brush I'm going with.
Just, pull that side of the nose out so it's not so tilted.
So that this and bring it up so make his nose a little bit smaller and he's a bit cuter.
Just see what if I add a little bit more detail to the ears over there.
Maybe this just needs something like that.
Yeah, I think that's what it needs.
That's good but I'm just going to chop these, so it hasn't got the big point on it.
Yeah, I'm happy with that.
That's good.
That's kung fu kitty.
