This is a Free annotated video (With no Audio, you’re welcome) guide to drawing Roly from Hey Duggee. I do this with my year 7s as part of our graphics DT rotation. The video is pretty comprehensive, but some familiarity with Illustrator would help, especially when it comes to fault finding. The video covers using : Shape Tools Line Segment Tool Corner Widgets Selection Tools Shape Builder Tool Eye Dropper Tool Duplicating shapes Manipulating Anchor Points (A bit) When I teach this I usually run through a demo of the process live, then give students access to the video so they can all go at their own pace, working independently, following the annotations. I’ll be making a payed version of this resource soon with added worksheets, and a teacher video with ways to fix as many student generated errors as I can think of. If you like this free resource please consider purchasing one of my payed ones. You can get in touch with questions or resource requests via my Instagram, link in my shop profile.
