- In this movie I'll show you how to draw the bodies…for our cartoon bat silhouettes.…Believe it or not, we'll be doing so using little more than…Illustrators ellipse tool.…It's all with the intention of taking the silhouettes…into Photoshop in order to create a cartoon version…of our bat face moon.…As you may recall, we already drew the very simple head…in the previous movie.…To give myself a little more room to work I'm going to press…Control + 0 or Command + 0 on a mac to zoom out.…Our first step is going to be to create a big circle…that represents the perimeter of these wings.…
Before I do so, because this one head is shared…by both bodies, I'm going to create a new layer…directly above the guides layer.…I'll go ahead and click on the guides layer and then…I'll drop down to the little page icon at the bottom…of the layers panel and I'll Alt or Option click on it…to force the display of the layer options dialog box.…I'll go ahead and call this layer Smile Bat…and I'll change it's color to, let's say, gold…
