Question

Illustrator - Head Turn

Hi

I am using Illustrator.

I have created a character of myself.

The problem is my character is looking straight ahead.  I want to put my character on a bicycle so I need to turn my head a bit like I would be watching the road while riding.

I can't find how to do this. (Not animation). Flat character design.

Thanks in advance

Wendi

    I would also consider, that you get a silhouette or a vector character from a site like Adobe Stock, and just recolor it. There are lots of existing front, side, and back vector characters drawn that you could recolor and modify in Illustrator to make it your own.

    It would be a case of redrawing to be honest...?

    Can you post a screenshot of the image in question?

    No, it's not like you can just turn the drawing and it creates a side profile...

    I suppose it all depends on how detailed your drawing is, but once you get the hang of the standard tools in Illustrator it does become a lot quicker. Just be patient and you will see. :-)
