Shepard Fairey

Portraits by Shepard Fairey

Detailed guide to creating a Shepard Fairey-like portrait

Some suggestions:

      • Step 2.2:  Create your entire color palette at this step, not just the pattern.   Don’t wait for Step 2.4.  Also, determine which order you want to use them in.  Establishing this before you start tracing will be helpful.
      • Step 2.3:  If you don’t save the swatch library to the default location, make sure you save it where you can find it easily.
      • Step 3.8:  When the tutorial says, “outlining the highlights with the color immediately below it,” refer to the order of the colors as I described above.  So if you start with the blue/beige pattern, when you trace the second layer, the bulk of the filled area will be your second color, but the highlights will be your blue/beige pattern (the first color).
      • With the new version of Illustrator, you can experiment with the Live Corner Widget vs. the Convert Anchor Point tool to get different types of curvature — circular vs. bezier.  Remember that to use the Live Corner Widget, select a sharp anchor point using the Direct Selection tool (the white arrow).
      • Experiment and have fun!

  • Optional:  Print out each Illustrator layer separately (all have to be at the same scale) and cut out stencils from the prints.  Use your choice of variously colored media (spray paint, chalk, charcoal, etc.) to print the stencil and create a physical self-portrait.  Preferred physical size is 17×11 (portrait/vertical orientation).  Take a new selfie alongside your portrait and upload to the class Google Drive along with the original self-portrait.
