Hello friends welcome to my channel code complete the spirit of coding

Today I m going to share some tips and tricks to trace an image using pen tool in illustrator

1- first we will import an image ,to import an image

we have two options first option is to drag and drop the image and

second option is go to menu bar click on file select place option now locate your image and click on place button
Place the image on artboard by click on the top of the artboard

As the image is bigger than artboard so we need to resize it

To resize the image Press the shift button and with the help of mouse drag the image inside the artboard like this

After resize the image click on embed button to embedded the image
Now open layer panel here we see that we already have a layer of image and to trace the image we will create a new layer by click on new layer button

but First we lock the image in the Layers panel. This will prevent us accidentally moving the image in the middle of the tracing.

Here I will set the stroke to orange color and fill to none

close the layer panel

i will start to trace an image from this point but before we start to trace the image the first important thing that we should keep in mind is to identify the single curve

means this is our first curve this is second second curve,this is the third curve,this is the forth curve and this is the fifth curve

this is another curve which bends inside and this one which bends outside is another curve

so now lets start tracing the image

select the pen tool from tool bar and simply make an anchor point do not drag it

click again to make an arc at the end of first curve,hold the anchor point and drag it
make the next anchor point at the end of second curve
we will fine tune and adjust this arc or path later

here i stop the drawing current path by pressing esc button and start drawing new path like previous

Now here comes the second important point

As u can see i wanted to trace the path in continuity but handle does not have appropriate length to fit the curve

so here i press and hold ctrl key that changes the cursor from pen tool to direct selection tool

and help me to adjust handle in upwards and start tracing the curve in continuity

here again i press the ctrl button and move this handel to the upward direction and continue tracing path

the third important thing whenever the flat section come we just click once on the edge point we will not drag the anchor point just single click at the end of each edge like this

here come the forth important point

now here we need to adjust this distorted path for that we select direct selection tool

by holding alt key we move this one handle only without effecting the other path means without moving the other handle of the same anchor point.

Guys we successfully trace our picachu. later u guys can also join the break paths by using join or path finder tool and fill color in the image
