  • Illustrator Tutorial: Low Poly Portrait! This is sort of a remake of my Photoshop low poly portrait tutorial, but for Illustrator. I realized that it would be a lot better to do this type of effect in Adobe Illustrator, since it is vector based. I hope you like the tutorial! Leave a comment if you have any questions!

    There's one thing I forgot to mention: You can press cmd/ctrl y to get an outline preview. This can make it easier to locate gaps and other things.

    This is the best video teaching how to make poly I've found so far. Even though this video was created a long time ago, it still contains and resolve every essential / frustrating detail that beginners (like me) may find. Thanks so much for making this video!!

    This will hopefully be a useful tip for anyone interested:
    If the lines you drew are not recognised as triangles by the illustrator i.e. it just sees them as a continuous line rather than separate triangles, Select the whole thing and then use the Shape Builder Tool (Shift+M) and click on every triangle separately. This will unify the lines into shapes.

      For me, my classes were to slow and most of the information I could get from RUclips videos or from Adobe's tutorials. To get a paying job is hell. I've had to work for free so many times because without my knowledge my mom volunteered me to do a bunch of her friend's garbage events.
      No one appreciates the work that's put into actually making something so they'll constantly ask for free shit. When you give them real world prices they flip shit and act as if you've offended them personally.
      I would recommend studying something else and getting Graphic design as a minor. A certificate doesn't mean anything. Employers look at portfolios mostly. I have a job at an ad agency becase I was recommended. No one cared where or what I studied but they liked my stuff and how I worked.

    Thank you very much for this, I enjoyed learning how this very cool look is created. It was more than generous of you to take the time and energy to share so much with your audience. I hope you will create a separate video explaining how corrections can be made for those starting out, and that you will just slow down the speed with which you illustrate your points just a bit. Thank you again very much!

    when I looked at the list of paths, they weren't triangles. they were all just a collection of seemingly random lines, when you opened your list of paths, everything was automatically separated into perfect triangles, despite the fact that you drew your lines as a collection of disconnected lines. what did I do wrong?

    @JarrettWilliams99 8 лет назад +3

    How do you get your pen tool to do straight lines when clicking and dragging? When I try that, it does all curves. So I did it with click and not drag, then whenever i go back after doing the outer path, when i try to make triangles it deletes all the points i have made as i click them. how do you get it to just keep drawing lines?

    • @vishalgandotra1328
      @vishalgandotra1328 6 лет назад

      Do smaller clicks and don't move your mouse during click, it'll add direction vector that's why you're getting curves.

    • @jessthompson3156
      @jessthompson3156 8 лет назад +1

      When you use the eyedropper tool, it will select the colour AND the stroke of that object. Because he was sampling from an image that didn't have a stroke, it could only get the colour. That's why the blue stroke removed at the same time. Hope this helped
