Step 3 Choose 150 dpi from the dialog box.

Step 4

Drop the Opacity to 50% and Lock the layer (Control-2). Add new layer to start creating the illustration. The sketch will be visible enough so we can trace the shapes. Being locked, it won’t bother us on accidental clicking.

3. Trace the Sketch

Step 1

Start tracing! Using the Pen Tool (P), we’ll trace the drawing we made, shape by shape. It requires a bit of time and maybe some nerves if you are a beginner, but trust me it is worth it when you see the final result.


Step 3

Once you’re done, delete the sketch layer and check your traced drawing. Make sure all paths are closed. Your drawing should look like this.

4. Color Your Design

Step 1

Let’s see how our mug monsters will look in color. We already had a color palette in our sketch so we can use the same colors. My palette contains five colors. I am showing you them in CMYK percentage, but feel free to use any color you want. You can draw little colored boxes next to the artboard so you can pick them easily.

Vereen/For The Washington Post) There’s good food, and then there’s the sort of food you can’t seem to forget. These are our favorite dishes of 2016. And trust us, we ate a lot. Seafood pancake at  Hazel One of the go-to dishes on Korean restaurant runs for Rob Rubba, the chef at Hazel, is the typically wheel-size seafood-scallion pancake, or haemul pajeon.

There’s more: sliced Fresno peppers for a little kick and sesame and flax seeds for a subtle crunch.
