Bleed is a common feature in Illustrator, and it can be used to add extra detail or color to your illustrations. Here are some tips on how to set up bleed in Illustrator:
- Choose the right bleed type: There are three types of bleed in Illustrator: line, stroke, and fill. Line Bleed is the most common type and it works best when you want to add a thin line of color along the edge of your illustration. Stroke Bleed is more complex and can be used for thicker lines or for adding more depth to your illustrations. Fill Bleed uses a blend of both line and strokeBleeds to create an effect that depends on how much fill you use. You can experiment with different bleed types to find the one that works best for you.
- Use space between lines: If you want your illustrations to look like they’re floating on top of each other, you’ll need to use space between lines. This will help them look more like paintings or drawings instead of simple illustrations. If you don’t have enough space, you can use dashed lines or white space between each line to help make up for any lack of spacing.
- Use perspective: When creating illustrations, it’s important to use perspective so that your images look realistic and 3-D instead of just two-dimensional. To do this, select the Perspective tool and then drag the perspective slider until you reach the desired level of realism (usually around 100%). Once you have set up perspective in your drawing, it’s time to start adding images!
