Okay, so now we have our text and we can move on to making the illustrations. So make sure that you create a new layer. So it's then easier to move your illustration around the text if you feel like it. Depending how complex your illustration will be, you might want to make several layers, for example, making bigger elements or certain color elements on one layer, and then smaller or different color ones on a different layer. So then when you move them around, it's much easier than having to use the Select and Move tool rather than just move the whole layer around. But I'm going to start with just one layer.

And I'm going to name this ELO's like so. Okay, and I have my navy blue and my six be pencil selected. I've already decided what I'm going to draw. So I'm just going to start drawing. But if you don't know what you want, you can just start experimenting and then erase it if if you don't like it, I mean, it's digital. So it's super easy to test different ideas and erase them if you feel like that.

It doesn't work for that illustration. So I'm gonna speed this up, so you can see what I'm drawing but it doesn't gonna it's not gonna take too long. So here we go. Okay, so that's gonna be my city skyline and then I'm going to do Little bit of water down here to make it look like Summer in the City. So that's going to be my theme for Actually, I'm going to make a new layer for the beach. Or I don't know, maybe I'll just do water.

We'll see. But that's gonna be ELO's too. And I might do it with the same color. I'll see how it goes. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with just and I try not to make my my illustration go all the way to the edges. I might even shrink it later on, to leave a little bit of air around there so that it's not so packed and it'll It'll look a whole lot lighter.

So but just experiment, I mean, you can always shrink your images by going here into the move tab, which will activate whatever you have on that layer and then you can with two fingers, you can make it smaller or bigger. Like that. That actually looks quite nice when it's so small. I might. I might keep it that way. Yes.

Okay. Then I'm gonna activate my other illustration layer, and click on move. And I might shrink this a little bit as well. likes. And then if you want to have more air around your, your image you can just like I showed you before you can click on the eraser and keep it down. So it will pick up the same brush that you were using for drawing.

And you can use that to erase bits, bits of the image around your text. And this will give it a whole lot nicer look than if I was to erase with sharp edge, eraser. Okay, don't really like that. So we'll have to see what I'll do about it, but I'll let it be for now. Okay, so I've moved things around a little bit, but I still don't like this section where the the boat and the end are kind of they're too close to each other. And since it's hard to move this around more because it'll be either too much to the right or to the left, I will need to erase the whole thing.

So, not ideal, but sometimes that's what you have to do. So I'll just erase the whole thing. Oops. Remember the angle. Okay, is it different? like so and then I might do another layer for the boat.

Just so I can then move it around more freely. So created here in the same spot okay. And now I can move it wherever I want it. Probably wanted about there. So that means that I will need to erase the other waves as well. Make sure I'm on the right layer and I have a wrong color as well.

Okay, that's little bit better. Now I'm gonna combine these two or actually I won't, I'll just activate them both and click on move and then I can move it a little bit more. Okay, let's see how that looks. Okay, that's trying to look a little bit better. Sometimes it's easier to see what your composition looks like when you make your image smaller. So you kind of as if you were stepping back and looking at it from a distance.

So yeah, I might fix a few things, but I'm pretty close to adding the finishing touches. So see you in the next lesson, we'll go through how to add some fun texture on your background.
