Tutorial Creme
Mega Man
This tutorial teaches you how to vectorize megaman.
First, grab a picture of megaman that you want to vectorize.
Grab your pen tool and begin tracing around each dark blue part of megaman. Goto each layer and change its layer style so that it has a 2px BLACK STROKE. a 2px black stroke should be on every layer that you make from now on. Make sure each part is on its own layer. Go ahead and make the fill color blue. I used #2577bd.
To make the fingers, all you have to do is trace each finger on its own layer. You're basically making rectangles for the fingers. Make the fingers in this order.. pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb. The layer order is in that order as well. Pinky at the bottom and thumb at the top of the layers.
Now outline the bluish green areas of megaman. I'm talking about the areas on his torso, legs, and arms. Since this layer will be under the blue layers, it doesn't have to be neat at all. Most of the blue layers will cover it up. I went ahead and made this outline all in 1 layer. See picture for reference. I used #18a9b9.
When you place this layer under the blue layers, you get the picture posted.
Make a new layer and start outlining the face. Again, it doesn't have to be perfect cause the blue helmet will be going over the face layer anyways. I set my foreground color to #ffdece.
Outline the eyes and mouth with white. Draw two circles at #5c939c for the pupils.
Grab the pen tool and set the fill color to #18a9b9. Outline the accessories on his helmet. accessories as in the strip on his helmet and the 2 ears pieces that he has. Just like the fingers, we're going to make an additional outline around the accessories to give it that 3d look. See picture for reference.
Make a new layer. Set the foreground color to #2577bd. Draw rings at both his feet and make sure the 2px black stroke is on. These rings will make his legs look creased.
