George Coghill
Cartoon logo and character artist George Coghill uses the Shape Builder
tool to quickly add interior colors to his line art illustrations. In Illustrator,
Coghill places a PSD sketch as a template layer and uses the Pen tool to
trace the contours of each pencil-drawn outline with black-filled objects (as
opposed to stroked paths). He then selects all the objects and uses the
Shape Builder tool to fill the main interior (white) areas with color. (If you
create outlines using stroked or brushed paths, you'll have to first expand
the paths into black-filled objects using Object> Path> Outline Path.)
