Adobe Illustrator Tutorial - Create a Ghost Character from Sketch (HD)

How to turn a thumbnail pencil sketch into a clean flat design vector logo graphic in Adobe Illustrator CC. You will learn how to create a beautiful simple flat design halloween ghost character.
This video is easy and quick to learn for beginners and intermediate graphic designers looking to improve their skills in Adobe Illustrator CC using some of my tips and tricks.
You will learn step by step how to import a sketch into Illustrator. Then set it as a template. We will then create the main outlines using the pen tool, shape builder tool, curvature tool, pathfinder when merging as well as how I choose my colours and gradients with my custom colour palette.
BTW!! If you like the colour palette I have been using in my videos. I am happy to announce you can now purchase it on my Etsy shot for less than a cup of coffee. This will take all the headaches of having to test out a bunch of colours to see which ones work! Check out the link!

Now I understand. First Copy the outline in layer 1 , then colouring beneath the outline layer 2 . And create another layer 3 for shadows/highlights In between outline and colour layer.

[@tawatchaisamranchai9119]

[@aymanraouf8010]

So why cant I just copy the Outline Layer and name it Color instead of going over the Pen exercise all over again?

[@DomDesigns]

There is not right or wrong way. This is just the way I felt was easier to explain :)
