Drawing Roly from Hey Duggee in Adobe Illustrator

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.
