[Code Racer] [Illustration: Sketching & Conceptual]

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This project is the walrus project.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
We're going to be creating a walrus illustration

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
with kind of a kiddish, thick line

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
 illustration look to it, a real simple layout.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Right now we're going to be referencing images to work with

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
to create our own, so usually what I do is

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
use Google search, Flikr, to search through  image libraries.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Sometimes I use references like books, magazines, 

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
kid's books, go to Barnes & Noble.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
But for the majority, I use the Web.

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
So, we'll jump in to Google Images 

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:49,000
and see if we can find some good walrus images.

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Usually I start off pretty generic.

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Usually what I'll do is grab the image.

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Let's see, what do we have here?

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I'll grab this guy, just drag it to the desktop.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And I'll just start a collection on the desktop,

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
and then we'll organize it later.

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
This guy, grab this one right here.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
This process used to take quite a while,

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
and you can spend days, weeks on research

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
just going through libraries of either books

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
or stock images on disc.

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I remember doing that a while back,

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
but now everything is pretty much shared, 

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
and it's pretty simple to get good references.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Screenshot that.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
We've got some fine art stuff on here. This will work too.

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Yeah, I mean, it could take hours, days.

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
But for this, it's pretty straightforward. Pretty simple.

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And it's going to be very original.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I'll take all the images and put them in some sort of image manager

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
like iPhoto, Bridge, or just Folder in general.

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Cool, so the next step is going to be sketching,

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
and I'm going to use the images that we grabbed

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
from the image library of Google and Flikr

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
and just start sketching.

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Usually I start off with the actual shapes themselves.

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
The walrus is pretty round, so I'll start off with the head here.

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
[sketching noises]

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I sketched some stuff out, and I found something I want to work with,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
so the next step is I'm going to ink it,

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
so I've got some tracing paper and some markers.

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And we are going to ink this guy right here.

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:46,000
[sketching noises]

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Yeah, that'll work.

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
The next step is going to be taking a photo with my iPhone.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Usually we just use a scanner, but we don't have to now

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
because we can get a high enough resolution shot with the iPhone,

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
and then I'm going to email it to myself and then pull that image

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
into Illustrator and use that as a reference.

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
There, that's it.
