The Steps of Drawing (Illustrator) 2nd

1. Firstly, i put the ruler for measurement of the shape that i will draw.


2. I put my sketch on it and adjust my sketch to the size which i want.

3. I start to draw the out line of tree by using pen tool. This tracing process is the most important part because if i did not do it properly, i cannot color it with live paintbucket. In this case i have done this process twice!

4. Then, the process of outline is continue as i draw the fallen feathers and the leaves by using pen tool.

5. I start to color the tree with live paintbucket. I also do some detail on it by put lines and branches. At certain area, i color it with gradient.

6. After that, i color the leaves area with plain green.

7. In this process, i used twirl tool to give a great effect on the leaves. Not only that, I also color it with gradient.

8. Later, I color the fallen feathers, small leaves and the rock by using gradient too. I remove the feather's black outline. Let the colors control it! ^^

9. At this stage, i put a simple layout for the background. A blue sky with the green land!

10. And for the final touch up, i draw the cloud by using paint brush tool and also the small grass. i just copy the grass and arrange it like that. That is the simple way! ^^

Finally, you can see the result of my tree on the top. I titled it as, "I Will Save You".

hi Sharifah, nice to see your efforts here and your sharing about your process. Twirl effect can be fine tuned if the shading is fine defined. Live paint tool is cool.
