How to Create a Cartoon House in Illustrator Final Image Preview This Adobe Illustrator tutorial is not very difficult but still it is designed for those who know Adobe Illustrator at least a little bit. I will show you how I draw the elements of vector scene. Basically, I use simple techniques. You don’t need just to copy everything; learn some basic techniques and nuances of Adobe Illustrator’s tips. Step 1 So, let’s start! Draw a sketch of a house (I usually use Photoshop for this) and then paste it into Adobe Illustrator. Step 2 Below the sketch create an outline of the house with the Pen Tool (P). Copy and paste the result shape to the front (Cmd / Ctrl + C; Cmd / Ctrl + F). Step 3 With the Pen Tool (P) create a shape of a roof. Then create a shape of clarified part of the roof. Then create shades and reflection of the sky. Step 4 Create strips on the roof which will illustrate its heterogeneity. Create some more small details which will convey the play of light on the edges of the roof. Step 5 Draw a shade on the house. Step 6 Step 7

Create Sonic The Hedgehog Opening on Illustrator The other day while I was cleaning up some stuff in my bedroom I've found my Sega Genesis - Mega Drive in Brazil, one of the first 16 bit consoles released in the 90s. I remember most of my friends were more into Mario Bros because they had a SuperNES. I played Mario Bros years later, but at that time my eyes were focused only on playing frenetically Sonic The Hedgehog almost everyday. So, continuing our "nostalgic tutorials" series this one will be about this classic game opening, sure this will probably give you some really good memories so let's do it. Just a warning before we can proceed: this is an more advanced and step forward tutorial, so a previous knowledge of the software and the character will be really helpful. Tunnel I kind of don't know If that's a tunnel or a giant ring on the opening titles, anyway the first thing you should do after creating a new document on illustrator is to create a perfect circle using the ellipse tool (L) + shift. Make another one inside of it.
