…Hey gang. This is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, I'm going to show you how to create a custom avatar…that is a vector based drawing of your face inside of Adobe Illustrator.…So we're going to start off with those…path outlines that we traced from a photograph.…Here's the photograph.…Here are the path outlines that we traced inside…of Photoshop and we're going to Copy and Paste them into…Illustrator and we're going to create this wonderful line drawing, uniform…line drawing right here. Here, let me show exactly how it works.…
All right here is the result of those…path outlines that we traced inside of Photoshop.…And here is the final version of the…avatar that we'll be creating inside of illustrator.…Just so you can see everything on screen.…I am going to go ahead and turn off all but the background layer,…which contains the original photograph.…Then, I'll switch over to the Paths Panel and if you are working along with…me, select the item that contains the path…outlines that you drew in the previous movie.…
