Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 474 Coloring your guests with the Live Paint Bucket, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Now the thing about a coloring book…is it looks so much better once it's colored in,…which is why in this movie I'm going to show you…how to do exactly that using the Live Paint Bucket…here inside Illustrator.…Alright, I'll go ahead and switch over…to that artwork that I created in the previous movie,…and I'll zoom in on this guy,…and let's say I want to start by coloring his face.…He's a pretty swarthy guy, but if you take a look…at the default Swatches, there's nothing that's a European…flesh tone, and so what I need to do is lift a color…from the original photograph.…
And the best way to do that is to turn on that photos Layer…right there and then just go ahead and double-click…in an empty portion of that Layer and turn off…the Template checkbox and then click OK.…Now you should be able to select the Eyedropper Tool,…and you want to make sure that you can see…your Swatches here inside the Swatches panel…and that the fill is active.…And then if you're working along with me,…try clicking right about here and that should lift…
