Over the course of the next few videos, I'll be showing you how to draw this 2D video game character.…Now, to expedite the process, we will be working with a tracing template.…So, in this movie, I want to show you how to take an existing illustration, and save…it off as a pixel-based tracing template, that you can then introduce into a different…illustration so that you can trace it.…And I'll also show you how to make that tracing template look its absolute best here inside Illustrator.…So, I'm going to start things off in the final version of the illustration, and we need to…turn off all the objects that aren't going to help us where the template is concerned.…
Starting with here inside the Body layer, if you twirl it open, you'll see this top item.…It's called My Sig, go ahead, and turn it off.…We don't need the signature.…Now, I'll twirl that layer closed.…We also don't need the text, so turn off the top layer, and we don't need the purple background,…so turn off the bottom layer.…Now that we have just the objects we need, go up to the File menu, and choose the Export command.…
