Coral reef trio by Zavraan on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Remember my Apex trio drawing? Well, this is the coral reef trio! Because Jack, Hellen and Susan are pretty much the queens ( and kings ) of the reef.

I don't count Silvertips into this catagory, because they spend more time into deep and open water.

Now why does this drawing look so Adobe Illustror? Because it was entirely made in illustrator.

Now why is that special? Because I have finally been able to figure out on how to draw in illustror, similar to how I draw in photoshop.

You see, when you are finished with the lineart, you don't create a new layer underneath the lineart layer to color it in. You use the paintbucket tool after selecting the lineart and choose: Object - Make Now you can fill it, but the color and lineart are ONE from the start. You also can't just select the color and grab your brush to shade the character like in photoshop. I have found a long and complicated way to finally do it, so yay!

Enjoy!
