hey welcome to make a mark studios
-
my name is miss v and today we're going
-
to be drawing
-
a half face digital cartoon portrait
-
this is a really fun activity in which
-
half of the face
-
is the photograph and half of the face
-
is a
-
digitally drawn cartoon portrait we're
-
going to be using a free web-based
-
drawing program called clucky.com
-
but you can use any digital drawing
-
program that you prefer
-
i highly recommend it has the capability
-
to do layers
-
the first thing you're going to want to
-
do is go to file
-
import and choose the photo you want to
-
use
-
choose it as a layer and then stretch it
-
to fit your canvas
-
go to edit and crop to remove any excess
-
canvas
-
if needed so that your photograph takes
-
up the entire
-
canvas click the plus sign under the
-
layer tab
-
and add a layer then click rename
-
and rename it outline make sure that
-
this layer is above
-
your photograph then select your
-
photograph
-
layer and bring the opacity down to
-
about 25
-
on your outline layer you're going to
-
start
-
by drawing a line that divides your
-
photo in half
-
you can be creative with how you divide
-
it it doesn't have to be a straight
-
horizontal or vertical line
-
it can be a curvy line like this one
-
seen here
-
and then you want to take your time
-
outlining all of the contours
-
of the portrait when you're doing little
-
details
-
like eyes make sure you zoom in
-
using zoom in and zoom out icons in the
-
top right on clucky you can control
-
how close up you're looking at your
-
image and using the
-
hand tool you can move around your
-
canvas
-
let's take a little break to go over how
-
to save your work on clicky
-
you'll want to go to the file tab and
-
you'll see a few different options
-
you can click save which saves your work
-
you can save it as a png
-
psd which is a photoshop file or you can
-
save
-
individual layers note that when you
-
save it as a png
-
it will compress all of your layers into
-
one
-
a good way to work is to browser storage
-
save it
-
you'll see it says store and it stores
-
the current state of your image
-
and it'll be loaded again with layers
-
each time that you open up clucky
-
so if i were to exit out of clucky and
-
open it back up
-
as long as i haven't done any major
-
reboot on my computer
-
and deleted anything then you should
-
still have all of your layers there
-
so let's keep working our next step is
-
to go to the layers tab
-
and add another layer we're going to
-
rename this layer the color layer
-
and we're going to make sure we drag it
-
below the outline layer
-
by dragging it below the outline layer
-
we'll be able to color in
-
our cartoon portrait but still be able
-
to see those black lines on top
-
just like before as you're adding color
-
make sure that you zoom in to get finer
-
details
-
you can change your brush size to get
-
better detail
-
since this is a cartoon it doesn't have
-
to be realistically colored
-
you can have fun with expressive color
-
in the hair
-
clothing and skin
-

-
the next step is to go back to the
-
layers tab and we're going to add one
-
last layer
-
and call this our background color layer
-
we're going to drag this underneath the
-
color layer
-
what's cool about that is that you'll be
-
able to color in your background
-
without affecting the color of the
-
cartoon on top
-
as you work you might want to go back to
-
your photo layer
-
and bring the opacity up just to get a
-
feel for what it's starting to look like
-
and your very last step is to start to
-
add some value and details
-
going back to your color layer you can
-
use the eyedropper tool
-
to sample colors throughout your
-
composition and then you can use the
-
blending brush
-
which is the second brush tool in from
-
the left
-
and you can explore different levels of
-
blending and opacity
-
and different values of the colors
-
your background doesn't have to be
-
realistic you can get really fun and
-
expressive with this space
-
add some patterns add some quirky
-

-
as you work you might want to explore
-
the edit tab
-
on clucky there's some cool features
-
that you can do to certain layers
-
like changing the hue and saturation to
-
see what different colors would look
-
like

[Music]
-
when you're done don't forget to save
-
your work and here's my finished example
-
of my half cartoon digitally drawn
-
portrait
