Step 3
Create a new layer and place it below the vector outline layer. Now in this layer create objects which will illustrate the main colors of our artwork. It is easier to do the coloring in Illustrator with the Pencil Tool (N) or the Pen Tool (P). Try to color in such a way, that the outlines of color vector objects remain in the vector outline.Step 4
I changed the fan’s color, I think in this way our composition looks better. Now draw the details of the eyebrows while painting the hair with the Paintbrush Tool. The process of eye creation is indicated on the figure below.Step 5
Now let’s focus on the lips of our vector girl in more detail.Step 6
Give some volume to the arms. The same as before, create some half transparent objects for that. I don’t use any Blending modes; I just simply reduce the opacity in the Transparency panel. Create a shape of hair on a head with the Pen Tool (P).Step 7
