475 Drawing a custom coloring-book place card

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now, last week, you may recall,…I showed you how to create these photographic place cards,…which were ostensibly for a Thanksgiving dinner,…but they could be for any kind of dinner, any occasion,…just as long as you have a ton of guests and you want…to show them where to sit.…And then I showed you, and I thought this was great,…how to turn them into these colorful cartoons…inside Illustrator.…So then I showed these to my partner who had suggested…the idea in the first place, and she took one look at them…and said, basically, "Oh, my God, Deke, that's way too much…"effort, nobody wants to do that!…"That's going to take you like a half an hour per card."…And I was like, "Well, no, it's more like 15 minutes…"per card."…And she said, "People have lives, Deke!…"They don't want to do that."…And I said, "So what do you want?"…And she said, "I want a generic man and a generic woman…"that the kids can color in to suit the different people…"that are coming to our dinner."…
