In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps of creating a comic strip using Illustrator’s Pen Tool, custom brushes and masking features. This is a fun tutorial that covers the process I use, while showcasing the comic strip I write called “The Brads.”
Before opening up Illustrator start with a quick pencil sketch. We’re going to use the Pen Tool to trace over the lines to give the cartoon a polished feel. The sketch doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s just a point to work from.
Import the scan onto the artboard and then set the transparency to about 25%. The transparency makes it easier to see the lines you’re drawing on top of the sketch.
