Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a modern flat-style character waving, built from ellipses, rectangles, and thick lines. Suitable for website illustrations. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Flat characters for websites are usually created with simple proportions. Arms and legs are sufficient with thick lines with rounded ends, making it easy to change their poses. Draw an ellipse for the head in skin tone, then a small rectangle for the neck below it. The head is slightly taller than its width.
Step 2: Hair
Draw hair with a hairpin, covering the top of the head and falling down to the shoulder. Give it a dark color, then arrange it behind the head with the backward stroke, while the bangs are in front.
Step 3: Body
Draw the body from a large rounded-corner rectangle in mustard yellow as the shirt. Add pants from a dark blue rectangle below it. Draw the arms with a hairpin as lines, give them a thick 40-point stroke with round caps in yellow.
Step 4: Arms and Legs
One arm is raised to wave. The legs are created in the same way in dark blue, and the shoes are made from ellipses. Add two eye dots, a smile line with artful strokes, and pinkish transparent cheeks.
Step 5: Minimal Face
A minimalist face actually makes the character feel friendly.
Step 6: Background and Export
Add a pastel background circle behind the character and some decorative leaves. Save and export the illustration.
Done!
Done. We have built a flat character from ellipses, rectangles, and thick lines, arranged the hair order, created a waving pose, and made a minimalist face.
