Step 2: Trace the image

You will probably have to repeat this step a few times to get it just right. If you run into any problems, simply undo your last steps and start over again. The Pen Tool takes hours of practice to master so, if you are new to the tool, don’t allow yourself to get easily frustrated. We only need to trace half of the head of the longhorn. Before you start your trace, select the Zoom Tool from the Tools Palette and zoom all the way into the image. Now select your Pen Tool and set the Fill to none and the Stroke to Black with a weight of .25px. We are going to trace in stages and, at the end, use the Pathfinder Tool to create the desired shape.

Remember that we only want to trace half of the head. With the Pen Tool selected, trace around the right of the head only beginning and ending the trace at the center guide.

For the right ear, select the Ellipse Tool and draw an oval over the ear. You may need to reposition the oval to fit nicely over the ear of the image.

Finally, trace the horn with the Pen Tool.

Select all three shapes. From your Pathfinder Palette Window, select Add To Shape Area and then Expand. You have now created half of the longhorn head.
