2.vectorizing</i>
when your pencil is clean (mine is still a mess, but i love to work this way) you must open the file with
adobe illustrator</i>.
b) the first thing i love to do is choose colours. i love to mix them creating shapes, giving them some transparency, and putting some of them over the others.
c) then i create a new layer</i>, above the pencil (i already lock that layer to keep it still) in which i start to vectorize the little details, like eyelash, eyes, mouths, buttons, etc.
*d) i don´t use this technique often, but you can also put the pencil layer above the rest and give some transparency to it, if you do so you'd be able to vectorize "behind" it.
e) then i create a new layer, behind the last one and start to vectorize big shapes there.
f) in case you've never used adobe illustrator</i> before, you must know how to use some tools, as the pen. it helps you drawing straight lines but if you keep clicking the mouse when you are creating a path</i>, you can turn it the way you want.
g) you can also use the pencil</i> tool. but it's a request to use it to have a wacom because if you do you will be able to draw with this tool as you do in paper. you can give some transparency to shapes if you want to make them look like this.
h)you can hide the background layer sometimes, to check the appearance of the work.
i)in order to create a texture, you must draw all the shapes and group them (ctrl+g). then you shoud create the containing shape (in this case is the polar bear ear) above the texture shapes, and then you have to create a clipping mask</i> by selecting the containing shape and the texture and pressing ctrl+7</i>. then you just need to place the texture in the correct place
j)when you are ready with the characters. you can create a new layer, behind the two you made before, but above the pencil, and start vectorizing the background there.
k)to create a casted shadow is easy. you just need to copy one of the characters bodies, paste it, group the shapes, paint them all with the same colour, and give them all together the same opacity.
l)then you have to place it behind the body (sending it to the back) and turn it the way you want by clicking the anchor points.
m)and to get it finished, you must do as you did before with the textures. group the whole picture (except the pencil, you must hide it) and then create a containign shape (a rectangle in this case) above the group. then create the clipping mask and there you are. ready for the adobe photoshop</i> again.

Porque en realidad me vuelvo loco, siempre los trazos de mis dibujos tienen el mismo anchor, y la verdad no siempre quiero que sea asi. Gracias por el tutorial y felicitaciones
