In this tutorial I will be showing you how draw a smiley face using Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based design software that enables users to design, modify and edit vector graphics. Now by vector-based I mean you can increase, decrease and modify graphics without pixelating the object. It’s a great tool to use once you get a hang of it. Ok lets begin…

The first image is the final image we will be working towards.

1. Using the ellipse tool draw an ellipse, fill and stroke with any colour of your choice. I went with the basic smiley colour of yellow with a black stroke. Now when working with adobe illustrator it is advised to start your design from the least placed object (trust me…e go help you).
2. By adding another stroke with a colour fill shades darker than the first you know to give a little depth to the object.
3. More details to give that dimensional look. The more details you add to your work, the more awesome they’d look.
4. Proceeding to add the eyes and brows. Now notice how placement of this suddenly brings our smiley to life. It’s very important to know how to make your drawings look realistic.
5. I then added the mouth and yes…that big a** cigar. We now have a stern looking, not smiling smiley….he he
6. Now if you take a closer look you’d notice that our big a** cigar was made using the pen tool and the ellipse tool. Knowing how to combine the use of the tool bar tools will help you in drawing irregular shapes
7. Adding that “whiff of smoke”…translates into what?….yes more details.
8. Adding the shadow beneath or object and you have your smiley.


I hope this tutorial was useful to you. Sorry if it’s not detailed enough…na my first tutorial be this . If you have any questions, u can email me… grinmunk@yahoo.com

One of the biggest problems with Nigerians is how we are always eager to show off our unbelievable level of ignorance, That a woman wears a uniform to work does not mean she'd be predisposed to violence or should be an expert in bed. If a female soldier (pls there's no such thing as "female Army" has any of these attributes its mainly because of who she is. And these female officers you may have phobia for are actually girls you may have dated in the university Because the Army has NO female regular combatant courses. Trust me the Army is full of professionals smarter than most of you so stop referring to them like you would barbarians,

the Spanish tiki taka can unlock any defense, Hollands offensive line 's capable of pulling a fast one on the Spanish defense but then i don't think dia defense stands any chance against xavi and iniesta, i think spains  going to win that game quite easily
