How to Draw a Retro Mascot Character Design in Illustrator
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 07. 2019
- In today's Adobe Illustrator tutorial we're going to have some fun creating a retro mascot character design of a hot dog, using inspiration from the classic cartoon style of the 1930s known as "rubber hose". Imagine the early Disney or Fleischer Studios characters with their bendy limbs, pie-shaded eyes and three-fingered hands in white gloves.
We'll use a combination of the brush and blob tools to construct the illustration from scratch, then incorporate a limited colour palette and subtle texturing to suit the retro look. I'll show you some of my favourite illustrating techniques and brush settings to help you draw your own fun character designs.

I've never been able to figure out how to *illustrate* in Illustrator until now. I've always tried to re-learn illustration by building shapes and whatnot. Thank you for finally posting a tutorial on the brush tools!
Real talk Chris!!! On repeat this one!!!
Take a shot for everytime you say illustration/illustrate
I was gonna say the same thing
I’ve been using adobe products for 15+ years now and I still enjoy your videos. Always nice to see how someone does it!
Love this style. great tut, learned 3 tricks just by watching!
Been waiting for something like this! Love it!
Thank you so much - I learned a lot and I can't wait to try out these new techniques!
Great video! I also like to use the Variable Width tool to change the taper of strokes - eg, make them thicker in the middle or thinner towards the end. It's a useful tool to have in your arsenal.
I love this style. Yours is the first one I saw so I keep coming back to it for reference.
This is excellent, thank you for putting it together.
The tutorial I was looking for, thanks it's beautiful !!
Loved the tutorial ! Thanks for sharing !
This is so helpful, thank you!!
Thank you so much for teaching me!! I learned a lot drawing this!!
I love how your tutorial so clear and easy to understand!!!
So cool, thank you. I’ve used illustrator for logo design but struggle with using it for illustration so thanks for simplifying this!
AWESOME TUTORIAL!!! HUGE CONGRATS AGAIN!!!
Thanks,I used this tutorial to make a mascot for my class' reading corner,his name is Bookteddy if you were wondering...
Thank you so freaking much! This was beyond helpful and got me comfortable with some tools that vexed me for the last month.
SIMPLY AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Dope, thanks :D Always helpful, even if i know how to do something you always deliver something new.
Awesome video which has helped me greatly. Many thanks!
You have taught me more than my Professor has in one semester in this video, seriously awesome vid!
Great tips, great video, thanks!
THANK YOU DUDE!
Looking good. Love this bro!

I adore this type of cartoon, and by the way, in the beginning, mentioning the style, you also mentioned a character with that style, you said Bendy!.
Great video- thanks for sharing
Thank you, I need to learn this kind of illustration and you explained it very well. Subbed.

It's mind-blowing, I've been using Ai since the first day I went to art school, but never knew I could use the brush this way, I've been using pen tool and it needs lot of patient.. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial (T_T)
¡Gracias!
Thanks
Do you have a video about drawing in that 1950s comic book style I would really like to see something like that.
Let's all go to the lobby to get Ourselves a Treat!
love your videos so much：）
I got inspiration for the 1930s style mostly because after I watched the CupHead show I was like “WOW, The animation was AMAZING!” And so every time I draw my original characters I always make in the style of the RubberHose animation or as I also like to call it the CupHead style. If you know what I mean
Cuphead is smoking tea
In yo hood
In yo isle
@@Combes_ he beatin' bosses now
@@alon8163 He do a turnaround
Nah, he committing cannibalism
Love that style of cartoon, have you seen the video game 'Cuphead'? That's all in this style.
Bendy and the ink machine as well, right?
Blue Ranger There’s a good video that goes into detail about the ‘Rubber hose’ style used in the Cuphead game. Never played it myself but it looks cool, especially knowing it was made using old school animation techniques
@@spoongraphics I believe the video you're talking about is the one by Scribble Kibble, which is a great vid!
Cool hotdog, it looks like cuphead :D
Love the tutorial! I was wondering which font it is you used in the beginning for "Mascot Character Design"?
Hello! Very coold video, thanks so much. But i dont undertand what command you use in photoshop, tell me please. Thank you!
That will help me for the old styled cartoon I want to make 😊
Thank you
How do you get the shortcuts to the white of the eye in the back?
in 4:40 how did he make the shapes with ink? i got lost there lol. Aweomse video bruuu, thanks so much
i love you
Hello! Great tutorial! I would like to know if that model like that, would work for animation in After effects! thank you! :)
subscribed tho
Loved the style and the final result! Great tips you got there!
Buuut be careful! You didn't drew the arms and legs alternating, which normally happens when we walk or run :P
Buuut keep an open mind because he happens to be dancing in place my friend! :P
Which tablet are you using?
kinda looks like the hotdog at the end of funfair fever from cuphead
EL MAAAAAU
Does he draw these with a drawing tablet? I cant seem to get it right with using a mouse. Thinking of getting a drawing tablet tbh.
tablet
another subscribe...enjoying your videos!
2:30 Juventus?!
is it good to have multiple color and a kinda messy background on my poster? (dont answer this I only wrote this because my teacher wanted to see it)
Okay so everyone calls them pie shaped eyes but like
Bruh that’s pac-man
ANYWAY
this is awesome and it is helping a lot :3
Because pie eyes is the correct way to say it but pac man eyes isn’t what it was originally called because no pac man in the 1930’s not even arcade games so stop acting all Dude yo so dumb
I was kidding but ight :/
@@tempolynnrealofficial what happened?
Do you design with your mouse or a pen ! Please help I have trouble with my mouse
pen
What do you call these kinds of illustration? And is there a website that offers free illustrations like this?
May i know you draw the face and hand with iPad?
Aw yes. *NukaWorld*
Is it normal that I can’t change the color of the brush stroke after using it though? 😮
Is there another software that would be free and working as well than Adobe Illustrator ? 😅
This guy even sounds like Elmer Fudd.
Could I commission a mascot from you in this style looking forward to hearing from you
He didn't...
I feel like an idiot, but how did you make the mustard?
Used a smaller blob pencil
very fast tutoiral
Based on betty boop and cuphead
ture art
Does the fact that at 2:21 the brush is at 99pt instead of 100 hurts me ?
Of course
Just I need draw better and sketch better thanks for the vid
마우스 포인트 좀 보여주고 해
Whos here from Kel Lauren?
MAAU
S W I N G Y O U S I N N E R S
Can I do cartoon character mascot design without drawing skills? Lol
It’s the same technique to draw a new mascot character.
Great tips :) Thanks!
Are you using tablet or mouse ?
Why tf hotdog has 3 noses
great work ? but i am not clear about your sketching technique with brush.
After watching countless videos of yours, I think I've finally figured it out: Yorkshire, not Lancashire.

I can't even draw, why am i here
Hey! I've made it. You can check on my instagram. Since you don't have one, I couldn't tagged you. Instagram: Buluizz or buluizdraws. Thanks for the tutorial!
Naaah I just can't draw normal:(
Sad sad
Too complicated
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose Again On The Third Day So that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM! :)
you dont show the basics man it is very hard for a begginer
