Better Late Than Never.

Though I did manage to teach you on how to make a snowman. I wasn’t able to finish this 3-day tutorial and discuss on adding it to a scene and put up additional elements. As an apology, I’ll be going to give a freebie at the end of this tutorial(trees, rays, snowflakes) excluding the snowman of course that’s what this tutorial is about.

Ok so we have our snowman, all we need is to add it to a background and also put in some elements to make good use of it.

Rename

Before we proceed on making the other elements we need to lock our snowman layer, then create another layer and name it “background”, put it under our snowman, then hide the snowman layer after doing so.

Simple Sky

Now we’re ready to begin. First is to pick the Rectangle Tool (Ctrl + M) draw a rectangle occupying the whole art board and using the gradient tool pick a blue and a white color then drag across the rectangle from our bottom right portion towards the top left. Now we have our simple sky. » Read more: How to create a snowman: additional elements

How to create a snowman: Coloring

December 21st, 2007

Ok It’s our second day for the tutorial, this time we will do the colors, shadings and highlights. Let’s begin and open up our Illustrator again and let’s get back to where we are last time.

Color Flats

Now from this state we’ll add in some colors, first let’s start with the nose, click the nose and from the color picker choose a carroty orange. By the way the color mode I used in this tutorial is CMYK, which would be ready for printing If you want it to be printed. Mine is C=0, M=50, Y=100 K=0 or F7931D for RGB

Next we move on to the twigs, choose a brown one for these. Just type C=32 M=48 Y=76 K=20 or 967348 for RGB.

We now move to the two big lumps of snow. To clearly see the parts that you wanted to color, let’s try and use some object hiding, choose an object that you want to hide and press Ctrl + 3 now it’s hidden, try it on another. Don’t worry we’ll bring them back later, the good thing is that we can clearly see the objects that we wanted to color, choose a sky blue for the two After having the colored the body and head. Press Ctrl + Alt + 3 and there you go, the hidden objects are back, this shortcut really helped my workflow especially when trying to do some of this kind. Lets use C=32 Y=0 M=6 K=0 or for RGB. » Read more: How to create a snowman: Coloring
