Live Paint in Adobe Illustrator, Coloring Floral Artwork for Pattern Designers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- One of the fastest ways to color your art in Illustrator is to use the Live Paint feature. It's like working with stained glass - digitally! Create a Live Paint group by clicking on selected art. Then click with the Live Paint bucket on a region to color it. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to change colors. Make sure you've loaded your swatches panel with lots of color first!

Tutorial by Laura Coyle
I really really really love this tutorial. Thank you 🌹
You are so welcome!
Love this demo! I find it helpful to change the Live Paint highlight color to something different than the Layer color. Double-click the Live Paint Bucket tool for options.
Great tip Ari, Thanks!
great video - nice tip on the difference between Unite and Merge!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant tutorial, thanks!
So glad you liked it! 😊
Hi Laura, I had to reload this 3 times before it would play for me but it was worth the effort! This was another fantastic and informative video tutorial that I'll be saving to my Adobe tutorial playlist for future reference, thanks very much Laura 😃🌼🌺🌼
Thank you Jody!
I would love to see more examples of digital painting and using the different brushes to the best effect. I am also interested in how you make your own brushes. Do you ever paint digitally where you're not using block colours to fill areas? To create a more shaded effect instead, if that makes sense?
Thanks for letting me know! When I want to do something more painterly, I use Adobe Fresco. If I want it to ultimately be vector, I plan it with Image Tracing / vectorizing in mind. I'm working on a course for that now, so glad to know that interests you!
@@LauraCoyle My pleasure 😃 Is Fresco better for that style of digital painting? I will be interested to see your course when you have it all ready to go, thanks for your reply Laura.
I made objects, live painted them. Then I went to make pattern. In this tool everything was knocked out. No fills, no strokes, no colours. How can I reinstate the situation before I pressed, "pattern make"?
I'm not sure if I understand "everything was knocked out" and did this happen when you moved the art into Pattern mode? (Object>Pattern>Make.) Inside Pattern mode, many types of art that were "live" will automatically be expanded. Brushes get outlined, symbols are no longer attached to the original and Live Paint groups are expanded. This may be what happened. When I use Pattern mode, I use a copy of my art, and keep an original copy, so I can retain the live components in case I need to use them. Also Live Paint removes brushstrokes, makes all formerly brushstroked paths into a uniform stroke, again a good reason to work on a copy.
@@LauraCoyle "did this happen when you moved the art into Pattern mode? (Object>Pattern>Make)" Yes.
I fortunately did work on a copy, not the original. 🙂
