00:01:22 but if you do, you're going to fill their interiors as well,
00:01:25 which is not what we want.
00:01:26 So, I'll go ahead and press Control Z,
00:01:28 or Command Z on the Mac,
00:01:29 to undo that change,
00:01:30 and instead what you have to do is
00:01:31 very carefully drag along these path outlines like so,
00:01:36 and then release, and notice that I have just a little bit
00:01:40 of extra path right there,
00:01:42 so I'll go ahead and drag over this area as well,
00:01:45 and that will fuse everything into a single
00:01:47 black filled path outline.
00:01:49 At which point, I'll go ahead and press Control 0,
00:01:51 or Command 0 on the Mac, in order to zoom back out.
00:01:55 And I will once again select the blob brush.
00:01:57 Now, another way to work is to just paint
00:01:59 off the path outline,
00:02:01 so if I were to paint along the ear,
00:02:03 for example, and never touch that selected path,
00:02:07 then I'm going to begin an independent path outline
00:02:09 like so, and then, if I paint down here,
00:02:12 I will create yet another independent path,
00:02:15 and now I'm going to join to that one
00:02:18 by painting this portion of the ear.
00:02:20 But if I were to paint over here, along this eyelid,
00:02:23 then I would join back up with the big path outline.
00:02:26 Alright, but let's say I want to join
00:02:27 everything together,
00:02:28 then I could just paint along here,
00:02:30 up the cheek bone, all the way into the hair,
00:02:34 and then as soon as I release,
00:02:35 because I painted into every path outline,
00:02:37 I end up joining all those paths together.
00:02:40 Alright, now I'm going to go ahead
00:02:42 and finish off the hair,
00:02:44 and I'm going to do that in separate passes,
00:02:46 as you're seeing me do,
00:02:47 just so that I get some nice sharp corners,
00:02:50 I'm going to paint over here, like here,
00:02:53 and cheat a little into this area of the template,
00:02:55 because I feel like I need to have a little more room.
00:02:58 And, if you don't get things exactly right,
00:03:01 if you make an occasional mistake
00:03:02 by going too far, for example,
00:03:04 as I'm doing here,
00:03:06 don't worry too much about it,
00:03:07 we'll take care of problems like that in a future movie.
00:03:10 Alright, I'm just going to paint in
00:03:11 these details right here,
00:03:12 as you see me doing,
00:03:13 in order to finish off that hair,
00:03:16 and here's the big path,
00:03:17 the one along the jaw line here.
00:03:19 I've got to go very slowly,
00:03:21 so that I don't make a mess of things,
00:03:22 but if you do take things slowly enough,
00:03:24 you should be able to make it work pretty easily
00:03:26 because the tool is just so darn forgiving,
00:03:29 as you can see right here, it does a lot of the
00:03:31 smooth work for you.
00:03:33 Alright, now I'll paint up this little detail right here,
00:03:35 and I'll paint up the neck line,
00:03:37 and by the way, if you want to paint a perpendicular path,
00:03:41 then just go ahead and press the Shift key as you drag.
00:03:44 I don't want that, however, so I'll press Control Z,
00:03:46 or Command Z on the Mac to undo that change.
00:03:49 And then I'm going to scroll down a little bit
00:03:50 because I want to paint more into this neck.
00:03:53 I want to paint it kind a kind of collar into it.
00:03:55 So I'm going to paint way down here,
00:03:57 outside the bleed, as you can see,
00:03:59 that red border,
00:04:00 and then I'll paint along the bottom of the neck.
00:04:02 And I'm going to give him a left shoulder
00:04:05 that goes a little bit above that neck line,
00:04:07 and then I'll just go ahead and add
00:04:09 a couple of collar lines, as you see me doing here.
00:04:12 Alright, I'll press Control 0, or Command 0 on the Mac,
00:04:15 in order to once again center my zoom,
00:04:17 and I'll press Control Shift A,
00:04:19 or Command Shift A on the Mac,
00:04:20 in order to deselect my art work.
00:04:23 And that's how you paint independent path outlines,
00:04:25 as well as fuse those independent paths together
00:04:28 using the blob brush tool,
00:04:30 here, inside Illustrator.
