How To Create Trendy 3D Writing In Adobe
Illustrator
posted by , , 4 comments

In this tutorial, we will create a colorful 3D (three-dimensional) text design with Adobe Illustrator. You can use the 3D writing that we
will make later for your poster or advertising design needs or just for fun. Let's see how.

Step 1 - Create a New Document


Create new files in A4 paper size and RGB mode

28 | P a g e
Step 2 - Enter Posts
Decide what text you want to enter. In this tutorial, I will use the word "COLOR". Then enter the first letter first, namely C with the
RNS Baruta Black font. You can download the font file for free here. Downloads .

29 | P a g e
Open the Color panel (F6) then on the small menu in the right corner, select RGB color mode. Then in the bottom box enter the color
code 00B4D2 .

Step 3 - Convert to 3D shape


Masuk ke menu "Effect> 3D> Extrude & Bevel"

30 | P a g e
Set the Extrude & Bevel settings as in the example. Pay attention to the lighting position on the top left

Add a light, but this time put it in the lower right position with a Light Intensity setting of 70%

31 | P a g e
The result will be like this

32 | P a g e
Step 4 - Expand Appearance
Click the "Object> Expand Appearance>" menu to turn the text into a path object, so we can edit the surface.

The result will be like this

33 | P a g e
Step 5 - Draw two horizontal lines
On the tools menu on the left, select "Line Segment tool"

Hold down Shift then drag a line with the tool to create a perfectly straight line. Make sure the stroke settings are as below.

34 | P a g e
Press Alt+Shift while dragging and duplicating the line up. The result will be like this.

Open the Stroke panel, if it's not there, go to the "Window>Stroke" menu first to display it. Reduce the thickness of the bottom line to
0.5 pt.

35 | P a g e
Step 6 - Blend the two lines
Select the two lines then click the "Object> Blend> Make" menu

Then the two lines will be connected, click the "Object> Blend> Blend Options" menu. Use Spacing "Specified Steps". Arrange the
lines like this.

Then click "Object > Expand". Make sure the Expand setting is like the example, then click OK.
Repeat this step again ("Object > Expand") until the line looks like this. Remember, do Expand 2x yes.

36 | P a g e
Then click the "Object> Compound Path> Make" menu to turn the object into a compound path. Maybe the object then disappears
(read: without color), just fill it again with a free color.

Step 7 - Offset the front path of the letters


Click the "Direct Selection tool" (or its shortcut "A"), then click the front surface of the letter C. Then click "Object > Path > Offset
Path"

37 | P a g e
Set as an example

38 | P a g e
Press OK, after that, while the offset path is still active, press Ctrl+X to cut it. After that press Ctrl+F to paste the offset right in the
previous position. What is its function? This method is effective for separating the path with the entire path group of letter C.

After that, make sure the offset path is still active, then click "Object > Compound Path" (shortcut Ctrl + 8) to turn the path into a
compound path. Notice in the upper left corner, if it is true, then the path status has become Compound Path.

Step 8 - Intersect both compound paths


Back to the blend line earlier, click the line then Copy-Paste it over the letter C.

39 | P a g e
By holding down Shift, click the blend line and offset the path of step 7 (which has been converted into a compound path). After that
open the Pathfinder panel (Ctrl+Shift+F9) then select Intersect mode. If correct, it will look like the example below.

If there is a warning when clicking Intersect mode, it is possible that the two objects are not in compound path status. In order to
successfully truncate with Pathfinder, both object paths must be in compound path status.
Color the object of the lines with a color that is brighter than the color below.

40 | P a g e
Step 9 - Enter another letter
Enter the letter O with the RNS Baruta Black font earlier. After that select the menu "Type> Create Outline" to change the text into an
object path.

41 | P a g e
Copy the letter O, then paste in front with the shortcut Ctrl+F (not Ctrl+V) to place the paste just above the original path. Then press
Shift+Alt+shift to the center to shrink the circle.

Then select the two circles, open the Pathfinder panel (Ctrl+Shift+F9) then select the "Minus Front" mode

42 | P a g e
Step 10 - Repeat Steps 2 to 8
Repeat steps 2-8 until the composition of the letters COLOR is created. Vary the color and rotation of the 3D text. See examples.

Step 11 - Add background


Create a background using the Rectangle Tool.

43 | P a g e
Then right-click on the box, select "Arrange> Send to back" or the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+[

44 | P a g e
Step 12 - Color the background
Color the background with the Gradient tool. Click the tool and then click the background box to turn it into a black-and-white
gradient temporarily.

Open the Color (F6) and Gradient (Ctrl+F9) panels. In the Gradient panel, change the type to Radial.

45 | P a g e
Then in the gradation box below, change the 2 colors (which are shaped like ink sacs) like the example below... or according to your
taste :D
Click the white Gradient slider.

Then in the Color panel, click the menu in the upper right corner, select RGB.

46 | P a g e
Choose a bright color according to your taste. Maybe while the color gradation will look still not attractive.

Edit the black slider then. The process is the same when editing the white slider.

47 | P a g e
You can even add additional colors to make the gradation even more solid. The trick is to just click on the bottom side of the gradient
line in the Gradient panel, a new slider will automatically appear, and color it like the step above.

Lock the gradient background by pressing Ctrl+2. To unlock, just press Ctrl+Alt+2. Why is it locked? So that later when editing the
COLOR letter, the background doesn't have to be edited.

Step 13 - Add a little gloss to the letters


We're going to make a bit of a glossy effect on the text. With the Pen Tool, create a shape like the example in the upper one of the
text.

48 | P a g e
Then click the Direct Selection Tool on the surface of the letter. Similar to step 7,

Click the "Object> Path> Offset Path" menu, then Ctrl+X and Ctrl+F to paste the offset path above the letters. After that, press Ctrl+8
to change the path to Compound Path. Similarly, the shape that we created earlier became a compound path. Select both.

49 | P a g e
Then open the Pathfinder panel (Ctrl+Shift+F9). Select Intersect mode.

Click the Eyedropper tool (I) then click a bright color on the text to color the shape of the intersection earlier.

50 | P a g e
Step 14
Repeat step 13 for all letters.

51 | P a g e
Step 15 - Add light
We can add light effects around the text to give it a lively impression.
The trick is to make a box with a gradient color as described in Step 12. The difference now is that the gradient color must have
black on the outside.

52 | P a g e
Then in the top menu, click Opacity, then the transparency menu will appear, change the Normal mode to Screen. Now that gradient
has turned into light!

53 | P a g e
Copy and paste to some sides of the text to create an interesting glow effect. Don't forget to change the gradient color for a different
light color (don't change the black color, just the other color)

54 | P a g e
Step 16 - Add shadow
The final touch, so that this writing looks like it really floats, make a square shape with gradations once again. The middle color is a
slightly darker color (adjust to the background color) and the outer color is white.

On the top menu, click Opacity, then change the mode to Multiply. Then change the shape of the gradient into a rectangle, position it
under the text to form a shadow effect.

55 | P a g e
Step 17 - Develop
That's how to make 3D writing with Adobe Illustrator. Next, you can develop the above creations by using objects or other
writing. You can also add some other objects behind the text as an example. Go wild and good work!

How To Create A Cool Logo In Illustrator
by DUMET School | Oct 26, 2017 | Graphic Design , Illustrator , Tips and Tricks , Tools , Tutorials
This sunny afternoon starts our activities again and hopefully all are in good health. Still around the world of graphic design,
this time I will share a tutorial about Adobe Illustrator and more precisely about How to Create a Cool Logo in
Illustrator . There is one thing I would like to ask about the logo. Better in design software, what is logo making??? Well, the
best thing is to create a logo in Adobe Illustrator because in Adobe Illustrator it is vector-based, not pixel-based. If you already
have a vector file, then we enlarge or reduce the logo, then there will be no problem with the broken or blurry name.
We will try to practice how to make the logo, prepare a computer or laptop, then open Adobe Illustrator. Follow the steps How
to Create a Cool Logo in Illustrator below sequentially:
1. Create a new worksheet in A4 portrait size (21 x 29.7 cm). The trick is to go to the file menu > new > a new
document window appears > set the worksheet size to A4.

2. Create a circle using the ellipse tool with a diameter of 15 cm and a black stroke without fill. Then position it in the
middle of the worksheet.

3. Create a curved line using the pen tool > the line is made beyond the diameter of the circle.

58 | P a g e
4. Then we will duplicate the line. The way is to select the line > press enter > the move window appears > the horizontal
column is filled with 0 and the vertical column is filled -2 cm > copy . Then the line will be duplicated up.

5. Duplicate again 3x by selecting the line and then pressing Ctrl+D 3x .

59 | P a g e
6. Select the 5 lines then group > right click > transform > reflect > reflect window appears > click vertical column >
copy.

7. Select all line objects including circles > menu window > pathfinder > pathfinder window appears > click divide
icon > right click ungroup. So these lines produce new objects from the meeting point between the lines.

8. Remove (delete) the part marked in red.

60 | P a g e
9. Create two boxes using the rectangle tool. The first box is filled with blue and the stroke is white. The second box
is a magenta fill and a white stroke. This box will be used as a color sample later.

10. Select the object you want to color > click the eyedropper tool > click on the desired color box.

11. Repeat step no.10 to produce as shown below .

12. For colors that are close together and to make them look connected, try selecting them then go to the window
menu > pathfinder > unite. Like the example below which looks unified and is no longer divided.

61 | P a g e
13. Repeat step no.12 again so that later the colors look like knots .

14. Here is the final result of the logo .

How to Create a 24/7 Vector Info Icon in Adobe
Illustrator
Yaroslav Lazunov 28.03.2013

The purpose of the lesson

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a vector icon in Adobe Illustrator that informs about
work 24 hours a day using 3D modeling. Objects obtained by 3D modeling require additional,
sometimes painstaking work. Throughout all the stages of creating an icon, we will use the
VectorScribe and DrawScribe plug-ins tools, which will greatly simplify and speed up the
processes. If you are a professional or are about to become one, then I think the ease of creation
and time savings are important factors for you.

Step 1

Create a rounded rectangle. I usually use the Dynamic Shapes Tool ( VectorScribe plugin ) for
these purposes . The advantage of this tool over the Rounded Rectangle Tool is obvious to me,
since we have the ability to control the parameters of the object after its creation. This allows

63 | P a g e
you to create the desired shape at once, without having to make several attempts.

Using the Dynamic Shapes Tool, create a triangle and place it as shown in the image below.

Step 2

64 | P a g e
Select the created shapes and merge them by clicking on Unite in the Pathfinder panel.

We got the shape that a comic book speech bubble usually has. Take the Type Tool (T) and
create the inscription “24 h.” I think the Sans Serif Font will work as a font.

65 | P a g e
Step 3

Take the Pen Tool (P) and create a path that consists of straight line segments.

66 | P a g e
Set the desired width for the path and select Arrowhead in the Stroke panel.

Step 4

To round the corners of the arrow, I use the Dynamic Corners Tool ( VectorScribe plugin ),
which allows me to control the rounding radii in the Dynamic Corners panel or by moving the
corner points.

67 | P a g e
To be fair, I want to note that you can round the corners of the arrow using the Round Corners
effect (Effect> Stylize> Round Corners ...)

But this effect only gives correct rounding of corners when applied to right angles. You also won't
be able to apply different rounding radii to different corners of an object with this effect.

Step 5

68 | P a g e
Select the arrow and text, then save them as a new symbol in the Symbols panel.

You can now remove these objects. Select the shape of the speech bubble and go to Effect> 3D>
Extrude & Bevel ..., then set the effect parameters shown in the figure below.

69 | P a g e
Step 6

Click on Map Art ... in the dialog box, then select the first surface in the Map Art window and

70 | P a g e
apply the symbol created in the previous step to it, click on OK.

Select the "No Shading" surface type, this will allow you to work with fewer objects later on.

71 | P a g e
Step 7

Select the 3D object and go to Object> Expand Appearance…. As a result of these actions, the 3D
object has turned into a group of vector objects. In addition to the necessary objects, this group
can contain unnecessary objects without fill and stroke and Clipping Masks. We can remove all
unnecessary objects without examining the Layers panel. To do this, go to Object> Clipping
Mask> Release, then go to Object> Path> Clean Up ...

72 | P a g e
Step 8

Unfortunately, vector objects obtained as a result of 3D modeling usually have a lot of extra
points.

This fact makes them difficult to edit and increases the size of the original file, since each point is
information. If you are using Astute Graphics products, you can easily remove unnecessary
dots. The Smart Remove Point functions in the PathScribe Tool ( VectorScribe plug-in )

73 | P a g e
and InkScribe Tool are designed for this.

Step 9

Objects resulting from 3D modeling can contain open paths.

74 | P a g e
To close them, use the Cloth Paths function provided by the PathScribe Tool and the InkScribe
Tool.

Step 10

Select and Unite in the Pathfinder panel all objects that correspond to one surface.

75 | P a g e
Now we can start coloring our icon.

Step 11

To create the shine of metallic surfaces, I use linear gradients, which must contain very dark
(almost black) and very light (almost white) shades of gray.

76 | P a g e
To create reflections on metal surfaces, create objects filled with black and white linear gradients
and apply the Multiply blending mode to them and lower the transparency in the Transparency
panel.

77 | P a g e
Step 12

Select the top surface of the icon, then go to Object> Path> Offset Path ... and set the offset
value.

78 | P a g e
Fill the new object with an arbitrary color.

Step 13

Copy the gray shape and paste it in front twice (Cmd / Ctrl + C; Cmd / Ctrl + F 2 times). Move
the top shape down a few pixels (for clarity, I filled the middle shape with red).

79 | P a g e
Now select the top gray shape and middle red shape, then click on Minus Front in the Pathfinder
panel.

Step 14

Select the red shape from the previous step and the gray shape. Take the Knife Tool and cut the
selected shapes as shown in the image below.

80 | P a g e
To make the Knife Tool cut in a straight line, hold Opt / Alt while using it. Fill the resulting objects
with radial gradients that contain shades of red and blue.

81 | P a g e
Fill the objects at the edges with linear gradients, which contain darker shades of the
corresponding surfaces.

82 | P a g e
Step 15

Fill the text and arrow with a subtle linear gradient from white to gray.

I prefer to apply gradient fills to all objects. This allows you to create additional volume.

Step 16

83 | P a g e
Create a circle with the Ellipse Tool (L) and fill it with a radial gradient from gray to white. Apply
the Multiply Blending Mode to this object and place it below all the created objects. Transform the
circle into an ellipse using the Direct Selection Tool (V). Thus, we have created a general shadow
from our icon.

Step 17

Now let's create a more contrasting shadow under the icon. For this purpose, I have created two
objects. The lower, larger one has a light gray fill and 0% opacity. The top object has a dark gray
fill and 100% transparency. Select both objects and go to Object> Blend> Make.

84 | P a g e
Don't expect to get the results you want right away. Most likely, you will need to edit the shapes
included in the blend object. You can move the points of objects and even redraw their shape
using the Pencil Tool (N) or the Dynamic Sketch Tool . I prefer to use the Dynamic Sketch Tool
as this tool allows me to adjust the precision and smoothness of the path while editing the
shape. The number of points of the shapes included in the blend object has a significant impact
on the quality and smoothness of the result.

85 | P a g e
Well, that's all for today. Follow the news on RU.VectorB

How to create pug illustrations
from Editor Irina09/11/2021 11:29 AM1.3kViews

87 | P a g e
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create ten wonderful pugs in Adobe Illustrator. If 10 is too much for you,
you can only do one of them. Don't worry, you don't have to be a professional illustrator to do this. It will be
easier with this guide.
Let's start!
1. How to create a pug head
Step 1
Create a new document ( File> New ) with 850 px Width and 850 px Height . Let's start with the
head. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a light brown, almost round ellipse. Then we will apply
the Inflate effect to it . Go to Effect> Warp> Bloat . Enter the parameters shown below.

88 | P a g e
Step 2
For the eyes, create a brown oval with the Ellipse Tool (L). Then add a darker little circle inside the oval
with the Ellipse Tool (L) while holding down the Shift key . You will get an even circle. He will be the
pupil. Add a tiny white circle to brighten the eye. Now place the entire eye on the left side of the head.
To get the right eye, select the left one and click on the Reflect Tool (O) . Then hold down the Alt key and
click on the forehead to get a mirror image of the eye. This will create the right eye. Now move the highlight of
the newly created eye and move it slightly to the left.

Step 3
Now let's create a muzzle. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a brown oval. Select the oval and go
to Effect> Warp> Bloat. by entering the options shown below.
Now stretch this shape (Object> Expand Appearance) and expand it to the left as in the image below. Make
a vertical copy of this shape (Transform> Flip) , enter Vertical Axis, Angle 90 degrees and
hit Copy ). Move the copy to the right to create a muzzle.
Select these two shapes and group them together (Right Click> Group ). Create another copy of the brown
muzzle behind the first one, making it slightly darker and moving it down slightly to create a shadow.

89 | P a g e
Step 4
To finish creating the face, add another brown oval behind the previous shapes.
Finally, let's add the nose. Create a small brown rounded rectangle at the top of the face. After that add a
small circle at the bottom of this rounded rectangle.

90 | P a g e
Place this cute little face on the pug's face.

91 | P a g e
Step 5
For the ears, draw another brown ellipse. To create the shape shown below, move the handles with
the Direct Selection Tool (A).

Step 6
Now place the ear on the left side of the head. To make the other ear, use the Mirror Tool (O) while holding
down the Alt key . Now click on the forehead (in the new dialog box, enter Vertical, Angle 90 degrees and
click Copy ). The pug head is ready!

2. How to create the body of a pug

92 | P a g e
Step 1
Let's create a body. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to draw an oval. Now let's change this shape. Use
the Fish effect : go to Effect> Warp> Fish and enter the following parameters. Stretch this shape: select it
and go to Object> Expand Appearance.

To continue modifying the shape, go to Effect> Warp> Bloat . Enter the parameters shown below. Finally,
stretch this shape again ( Object> Expand Appearance ).

93 | P a g e
Step 2
Place the body under the head (Control-X, Control-B). Add some depth to the head and body. Duplicate the
head behind the original shape (Control-C, Control-B) and move it diagonally downward. Make this copy
slightly darker.
Select the body shape and make another copy of it behind the original shape (Control-C, Control-B). Move
it diagonally downward.

94 | P a g e
Step 3
To draw the legs, start with a large, vertical, light brown oval. Take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and move
the handles of the anchor points to create a shape like in the second image from below.
Then add a small horizontal oval. Select the left and right anchor points of the small oval with the Direct
Selection Tool (A) and move them down using the Down Arrow key on your keyboard.
Now let's create the toes. Make a copy of the small shape behind (Control-C, Control-B) , make it darker
and move it slightly to the left. There is now one finger (light and dark shapes).
Make a new copy of the finger (light and dark shapes) behind and move it further to the left. Finally, create a
new copy of the finger (just a light brown shape this time) and move it to the left.
As a result, you will get a paw like in the picture below.

95 | P a g e
Step 4
Let's attach a paw to our pug. Hold down the Shift and Alt keys and move this paw to the left. Now you have
a copy of the leg ( Alt key made a copy), and it is aligned horizontally ( Shift key did it ). Now place a new
copy behind the body (Control-X, Control-B).
Move the new copy to the right while holding down the Shift and Alt keys . Thus, the third leg will appear.
Select the very first leg and move it to the right while holding the Shift and Alt keys . Now you have all four
legs.
The last thing we need to add is a shadow for the fourth leg. With this leg selected, move it slightly to the left
and change its color to dark brown.

Step 5
To draw the tail, we will use the Spiral Tool. If you don't see it, hold the Line Segment Tool (\) for a few
seconds and a drop-down menu will appear. Now select the Spiral Tool.

96 | P a g e
Click on your artboard and a new dialog box will pop up asking about Spiral
Radius , Fade and Segments . I recommend playing around with the Fade and Segment settings to find
the one that works best for you. You can also change the Weight of a stroke in the Stroke panel . Don't
forget to remove the fill color, set the same stroke color as the pug's body, and check Rounded Caps in
the Stroke panel .
Then change the thickness of both ends of this spiral. Just select the Width Tool (Shift-W) and move the
handles to make one end of the tail thinner and the other slightly thicker. If you like the way the tail looks,
stretch it (Object> Expand).

Attach the tail to the pug. Our first pug is ready for a makeover!

3. How to create a pug on a pillow

98 | P a g e
Step 1
Create a copy of the pug.
Now let's teach our doggie how to command! He will learn to lie down. Create a copy of the pug. We need to
rotate his legs. Expand your front legs to the right and your hind leg to the left. Only three legs are visible in
this position, so remove one of the hind legs. Now he (or she) knows the team!

Step 2
Can you guess which tool we are using to create the pillow? Yes, let's start with an ellipse. Then take the
Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C) and make sharp anchor points by clicking on the left and right points.
Then we will apply the Inflate effect to this ellipse. Go to Effect> Warp> Bloat . Enter the parameters you
see below. Finally, stretch this shape.

99 | P a g e
Step 3
Remove the fill color, set the fill color to a dark orange, and check the Rounded Caps in
the Stroke panel . Using the Arc Tool, draw an arc. Then take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and move
the arc handles to achieve the desired result, as in the image below. Now our pug has a resting place!

100 | P a g e
Place him on a pillow. The second pug is ready!

4. How to create a pug with a Frida-style wreath


Step 1
Create a copy of the pug.
First, let's give our pug the command "Sit". To do this, turn the body and tail down. Then squeeze your hind
legs slightly.

101 | P a g e
Step 2
Now we will make the flowers. Create two pink circles, one darker and one lighter (use the Ellipse Tool
(L) while holding down the Shift key ). The darker circle should be behind the light one.
Select these two circles and group them together (Right Click> Group) . Then, create a copy of these two
grouped circles (while selecting them, hold the Alt key while dragging). Rotate this copy to the right and
make it overlap the original. This will create another flower petal.
Repeat these commands as many times as necessary for the number of petals you want to create. This is the
first layer of petals. You can group them together.
Now make a copy of this layer in back (Control-C, Control-B) and make it bigger. You have a second level
of petals. In the same way create the third level, which is more inclined and enlarged.
To complete the flower, add some tiny white circles in the middle of the flower. Group the entire flower for
convenience.

102 | P a g e
Make two smaller copies of the created flower and place them on the pug's head like a wreath. Voila! The
Frida-style wreath is ready. Our third pug is also ready!

103 | P a g e
5. How to create a pug with a crown
Step 1
To make the crowns, start by creating a yellow rectangle using the Rectangle Tool (M). Add two ovals that
will serve as clippers, so the color of the ovals is not important. Make sure they overlap the rectangle like in the
picture below. Select all three shapes and click Subtract Front in the Pathfinder panel (Window>
Pathfinder). We will get a rectangle truncated by these ovals.
Select the created shape and apply the Bulge effect : go to Effect> Warp> Bulge. In the new window, enter
the parameters provided for the effect to appear.

104 | P a g e
To complete the crown, apply a different effect to this shape: go to Effect> Warp> Arc Down and enter the
options presented. Don't forget to stretch the resulting shape. The crown is ready!

105 | P a g e
Step 2
Create a copy of the pug's head.
Place the crown on the pug's head. The fourth pug is ready!

106 | P a g e
6. How to create a pug with a headband with hearts
Step 1
Let's create a heart shape. First draw a red ellipse and rotate it slightly to the left. Duplicate this ellipse: take
the Reflect Tool (O) and Alt- click in the middle of the oval . In the new dialog box, select Vertical, Angle
90 degrees and click Copy .
After a copy of the oval appears, it will be rotated in the opposite direction. Align them as shown in the image
below. With both ovals selected, unite them by clicking the Unite button on the Pathfinder panel (Window>
Pathfinder). To create a heart holder, add a red rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (M).

107 | P a g e
Step 2
Create a copy of the seated pug. This time you can make it reflected. Select the entire pug and in the same
way create a vertical copy as you did for the heart from one oval in the previous step.
For the rim, create an enlarged copy of the head shape in the background (Control-C, Control-B), move it
slightly upward and change its color to red. Now place the heart from the holders on top of the bezel and make
a vertically flipped copy. Our pug is very cute! He is the fifth in a row.

7. How to create a pug chef with a croissant

108 | P a g e
Step 1
Create a rectangle to be the base of the hood. Remember that the black stroke is only needed for better
visibility. Make sure no stroke colors are set.
Modify the created rectangle using the Bulge effect : go to Effect> Warp> Bulge . In the new window, enter
the parameters shown in the picture below. Stretch this shape.
Add three white circles at the top of this shape and one white ellipse at the bottom. Select all the shapes and
unite them by clicking the Unite button on the Pathfinder panel . The chef's hat is ready!

Place the hat on the pug's head.

109 | P a g e
Step 2
To create a croissant, start with a light brown rectangle. To do this, use the Rectangle Tool (M). Now,
applying the Bulge effect, we will slightly deform this shape. Select it and go to Effect> Warp> Bulge. In
the new window, configure the presented parameters. Stretch this shape.

110 | P a g e
After that, apply another effect to this shape: go to Effect> Warp> Arc Down and enter the parameters
provided. Stretch the shape ( Object> Expand Appearance ). Finally, copy the created shape behind the
original (Control-C, Control-B) and make it slightly wider and darker.

111 | P a g e
Step 3
Now repeat the same sequence of operations as for reshaping in the previous step, but this time go
to Effect> Warp> Bulge (enter Vertical, Fold 40%, OK) .
Then go to Effect> Warp> Arc (enter Horizontal, Bend-20%, Vertical Distortion 8%, OK).
Then go to Effect> Warp> Arc Down (enter Horizontal, Bend 10%, OK).
To create a shadow, make a wider and darker copy behind.

112 | P a g e
Step 4
For the final part of the croissant, create an oval and apply the Warp Effect to it . Go to Effect> Warp>
Arc and adjust the options you want. Stretch this shape.

Step 5
Now combine all the elements together like in the picture below. Our croissant is ready!

113 | P a g e
Place the croissant next to the pug chef. The sixth pug is ready!

8. How to create a pug in a cup


Step 1
For the paw, create a small ellipse and move down its side anchor points with the Direct Selection Tool
(A) using the Down Arrow key on your keyboard. Create another copy of this shape behind, making it
darker and moving it slightly upward.
Then, create another copy of the deformed beige oval on top of the original (Control-C, Control-F). Make it
darker (use the same dark color as the shape behind (use the Eyedropper (I) ) and narrower (use
the Selection Tool (V) ). Select it and copy in front ( Control-C, Control-F ) , making it a little narrower and
lighter (use the Eyedropper Tool (I) again ).

114 | P a g e
Step 2
Place the paw below the pug's head (take a copy of the previous one) as shown in the picture. Create a
second paw: hold down the Alt and Shift keys and move the paw to the right. This will create a horizontal
copy of the original leg.

Step 3
To make the cup, start with a coral rectangle. Then go to Effect> Warp> Fish (enter Bend -10%, OK ). After
that go to Effect> Warp> Arch (enter Bend -20%, Vertical Distortion -20%, OK ). Finally, for the handle,
create a circle with no fill and a wide stroke.

115 | P a g e
Step 4
Place the head with paws on top of the mug. The seventh pug is ready!

116 | P a g e
9. How to create a gentleman pug
Step 1
Let's start with the bowler hat. Create a dark gray circle. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the
bottom anchor point of the circle and move it up. Then add an ellipse of the same color below. The hat is
ready! Easy, right?

117 | P a g e
Place the hat on the gentleman's head.

118 | P a g e
Step 2
Of course, you need to add a monocle. Just add a dark gray circle with no fill and a gray stroke and attach a
very thin, short rectangle horizontally and a long rectangle vertically to it.

119 | P a g e
Step 3
Also our gentleman must wear a bow tie. Create a dark gray rectangle (with the same fill color as the bowler
hat). Then go to Effect> Warp> Bulge (check Horizontal, enter Bend -20%, OK).
Then apply Effect> Warp> Bulge (check Vertical , enter Bend 30%, OK ). Don't forget to stretch this
object.

Step 4
For the middle part of the butterfly, create a smaller rectangle and apply a warp effect: Effect> Warp>
Inflate (enter Bend 30%, OK ). Place this shape opposite the big one and place it in the center. To make it
exactly in the center, use the Smart Guides (View> Smart Guides (Control-U) ).
To show the borders of the center section, create another copy of the smallest shape behind the original
( Control-C, Control-B ), making it wider and darker.

Combine all the gentlemanly style pieces together. The eighth pug is ready!

120 | P a g e
10. How to create a pug ice cream

front of everything else ( Control-X, Control-F ). With it selected, select the square pattern. Click Crop on
the Pathfinder panel .
Finally, you have an ice cream cone.

122 | P a g e
Place the pug's head on top and opposite the horn.

123 | P a g e
Step 3
Now let's add some cream. First create a white ellipse (the black stroke of the ellipse in the image below is for
clarity). Using the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C) , make the top anchor point of this ellipse
sharp. Select this top anchor point and move it up. Take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and move down the
left and right anchor points to achieve the result you see in the image below.

124 | P a g e
Step 4
Now create a copy of the created shape in front, make it narrower and change the fill color to light pink. Finally,
create a smaller copy of this shape and change its color to white. We got ice cream!

Step 5
Place the cream on the pug. Finally, let's add some sprinkling! Create many small coral rounded rectangles
and spread them over the ice cream. Some of them can be dropped on the pug's nose. The ninth pug is ready!

Create a Set of Flat Precious Gems Icons in Adobe Illustrator
to create a set of precious stones icons in the "flat" style

From a translator. Some of the images had to be compressed to comply with forum rules.

Lesson Outcome:

In this lesson, you will create a set of simple yet stylish gems in the now trendy "flat" style. With the help of
the basic shapes and blending modes, we will make the stones themselves, and also convey their sparkle and
shine. You don't need any artistic superpowers or special devices to create something like that. Let's get
started then!

1. Diamond

Step 1

Launch Adobe Illustrator, create a new document (Ctrl + N) 600x600 pixels in RGB mode.

166 | P a g e
Step 2

For convenience, we will use guides. To create them, first turn on the display of the rulers (Ctrl + R), then
hold down the left mouse button on one of the rulers and, without releasing it, “pull out” the guideline. If you
extended, for example, a vertical one, then do the same operation with a horizontal one. Then right-click
outside the artboard, select "Lock Guides" (uncheck it). The guides are unlocked. You can center each of them
on its own axis. Do this using the Align panel and the corresponding buttons (vertical for vertical center and
similarly for horizontal). In the advanced settings of the panel (opened from the drop-down menu of the same
panel) there should be Align to on the artboard. Do not forget to then lock the guides so that you do not
accidentally select them and displace them.

167 | P a g e
Step 3

Now let's get to the diamond itself. Let's start at the bottom of it. Use the Polygon Tool to create a triangle
with the parameters shown in the image below. Place the shape as shown in the same place.

168 | P a g e
Step 4

Duplicate the shape and, using the Selection Tool (V), flatten it horizontally while holding Alt to keep the
current center.

169 | P a g e
Step 5

Now draw with the Rectangle Tool (M) a rectangle at the top of the diamond. Using the Direct Selection Tool
(A), select the top right anchor point and move it to the left so that it is in line with the left point of the
smaller triangle. Do the same for the top left anchor point.

170 | P a g e
171 | P a g e
172 | P a g e
Step 6

Let's add some details to the upper part. Add a rectangle in the center. Draw a triangle inside it, which then

173 | P a g e
174 | P a g e
175 | P a g e
Step 7

To color the diamond, the following palette will be used:

You can take a color sample with the Eyedropper Tool (I) directly from the screenshot (of course, after saving
and opening it in the program) or use the RGB values specified in the text.

Fill the bottom triangle with R = 173, G = 230, V = 255 (# ade6ff). For the top trapezoid, assign a color R =
208, G = 239, B = 252 (# d0effc). Fill all the shapes above these two in the Layers Panel with white and lower
their Opacity to 50%.

176 | P a g e
Now additionally change the opacity of each element as shown below. This will make the diamond look more
realistic.

177 | P a g e
178 | P a g e
179 | P a g e
Step 8

Now let's add some highlights. Use the Star Tool to create a star with the settings below. If you are not
satisfied with the sharpness of the corners and the length of the rays, you can draw the star directly with the
tool (and not from the dialog box for specifying dimensions), while holding down Ctrl during the process to
change the specified values. When this star is ready, create another one on top. Rotate the second one with
the Rotate Tool (R) by 45 °.

180 | P a g e
Step 9

Change the fill color of both highlights to white and place it at the top of the diamond. Add a couple more
highlights. Experiment with their sizes.

181 | P a g e
Step 10

Now let's add a shape to be the background. Using the Ellipse Tool (L), hold down Shift and draw a circle. Fill

182 | P a g e
it with a linear gradient from R = 95, G = 61, B = 129 (# 5f3d81) to R = 195, G = 125, B = 207 (#
c37dcf). Send the shape to the very back (Shift + Ctrl + [)

183 | P a g e
Step 11

Let's add the last element of the popular "flat" style - a long shadow.

Draw a rectangle, rotate it 45 ° and align the dimension to the points on the right side of the diamond (see
image below). Send this rectangle to the very back (Shift + Control + [) and then move it up one step
(Control +]) so that the shape is above the background. Stretch the shape so that it goes beyond the circle,
then select the rectangle and the circle and using the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M), holding Alt, delete the
part outside the circle. Fill the resulting shape with a gradient from R = 154, G = 176, B = 197 (# 9ab0c5) to
white. Change the Blending Mode of the shape to Multiply.

184 | P a g e
185 | P a g e
186 | P a g e
Translator's note.The shadow made here does not follow the "flat style" rules. The shadow should go from
the extreme points of the figure, here it is quite noticeable that this is not the case, and that will be the left
point of the diamond. Perhaps it was calculated that the angle of the lines of the lower triangle would be 45 °
(and then the drawn shadow would be correct), but this is not so. Below you can see a comparison of the
versions "as in the tutorial", "as it should" and another, using the Blend tool (rightmost image). Since the
dimensions were not clearly indicated here, I made a smaller version of the icon.

The diamond is ready! Moving on to the next stone.

187 | P a g e
2. Ruby

Step 1

Draw a square. Rotate it 45 °.

188 | P a g e
189 | P a g e
190 | P a g e
Step 2

Use the Line Segment Tool (\) to draw two intersecting straight lines in the center. Select them along with the
square and apply the Divide operation from the Pathfinder panel. This will divide the square into four

191 | P a g e
192 | P a g e
193 | P a g e
Step 3

Each of the triangles obtained in the previous step must be filled with its own color, because they cannot all be
illuminated the same way, and one color of all faces will not look. You can see the palette I used below.

194 | P a g e
195 | P a g e
196 | P a g e
Step 4

Now we need to add refraction of light inside the stone and external highlights. Let's start with the top right
triangle. Duplicate it (Ctrl + C, Ctrl + F). Make the copy smaller and fill it with a gradient from R = 209, G =
181, B = 96 (# d1b560) to black. Change the blending mode to Screen. Then use the Reflect Tool (O) to

197 | P a g e
198 | P a g e
199 | P a g e
Step 5

Our ruby doesn't have to be one-dimensional, so let's add some more details. Draw a square about half the
size of the first on top of the other shapes. Rotate it 45 °, then fill it with a gradient from R = 228, G = 20, B
= 64 (# e41440) to R = 225, G = 107, B = 126 (# e16b7e). Finally, add the "stars" as we did for the

200 | P a g e
201 | P a g e
202 | P a g e
Step 6

Add a circle behind the ruby, fill it with a gradient from R = 81, G = 163, B = 37 (# 51a325) to R = 201, G =
230, B = 85 (# c9e655). Add a long shadow as we did for the diamond.

The ruby icon is ready!

3. Emerald

Step 1

Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool, draw a 233x233 shape with a 30 px corner radius. Now arm yourself with
the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) and go over all the anchor points to turn them into corner
points. Ultimately, you should end up with a square with 45 ° beveled corners.

204 | P a g e
205 | P a g e
206 | P a g e
Step 2

Start adding faces. Draw a triangle with the Polygon Tool. Rotate it so that the sharp corner points to the
center (refer to the screenshot below). Extend it if necessary.

Translator's note.It is much more convenient (and also does not require super-artistic skills) and faster to
draw such a shape with the Pen Tool (P) with the smart guides enabled (Ctrl + U). Just click on the center
and then on the "corner" anchor points. Smart Guides help you place a point for a triangle in exactly the same
place.

207 | P a g e
With the Reflect Tool (O), reflect and duplicate the triangle at the other corners.

208 | P a g e
209 | P a g e
210 | P a g e
Step 3

For the main emerald shape, apply a gradient from R = 21, G = 155, B = 24 (# 159b18) to R = 143, G =
220, B = 46 (# 8fdc2e). Fill the triangles with a gradient from R = 148, G = 199, B = 65 (# 94c741) to black,

211 | P a g e
212 | P a g e
213 | P a g e
Step 4

Draw a triangle at the bottom of the emerald (I've filled it in red for now to see it better). Stretch it
horizontally. Remove the parts protruding from the main shape using the Shape Builder Tool (Shift +

214 | P a g e
215 | P a g e
216 | P a g e
Step 5

Fill the end shape from the previous step with the gradient used for the face triangles. Change the blending
mode to Screen. You can also just click with the Eyedropper Tool (I) with the default settings for any of the
triangle faces. Then flip the shape horizontally to create a copy. Move the duplicate to the top half of the

217 | P a g e
218 | P a g e
219 | P a g e
Step 6

Duplicate the main shape. Bring the copy to the very front (Shift + Ctrl +]). Change its fill colors to R = 201,
G = 235, B = 120 (# c9eb78) and R = 83, G = 192, B = 44 (# 53c02c) for the left and right gradient
markers, respectively. Add stars.

220 | P a g e
Step 7

221 | P a g e
Add a circle in the background. Fill it with a gradient from R = 247, G = 62, B = 87 (# f73e57) to R = 255, G
= 132, B = 185 (# ff84b9). Don't forget the long shadow. And on this the emerald is ready!

4. Sapphire

Step 1

Use the Polygon Tool to create a shape with a radius of 130 px and 8 sides. Rotate it so that the corners line
up with the guides. Now draw with the Line Segment Tool (\) a vertical line, which then rotate 45 ° to create a
copy.

222 | P a g e
223 | P a g e
224 | P a g e
Step 2

Continue adding lines (the fastest and most convenient way to do this is by pressing Ctrl + D, that is,
repeating the last action of rotating and copying the shape, and not by a somewhat incomprehensible
reflection, as suggested in the lesson; approx. transl. ). In the end, you should get 4 lines. When they are

225 | P a g e
226 | P a g e
227 | P a g e
Step 3

Now fill all the parts of the former octagon with different shades of blue. The palette I used is shown
below. The filling was done in a clockwise direction.

228 | P a g e
229 | P a g e
230 | P a g e
Step 4

Draw a smaller octagon. Fill it with a gradient from R = 183, G = 238, B = 255 (# b7eeff) to R = 38, G =

231 | P a g e
232 | P a g e
233 | P a g e
Step 5

Add a background circle, fill it with a gradient from R = 255, G = 132, B = 0 (# ff8400) to R = 255, G = 242,
B = 88 (# fff258). Don't forget the shadow.

The sapphire is ready!

234 | P a g e
5. Amber

Step 1

Draw a square. Apply the command Object> Path> Add Anchor Points. Select the midpoint that appears
thanks to this command on the top edge of the square and move it up. Do the same for the midpoint on the
bottom edge, move it down accordingly. You should get a hexagon.

235 | P a g e
236 | P a g e
237 | P a g e
Step 2

Draw straight lines separating the base at all corners and a center horizontal line, then apply the Divide

238 | P a g e
239 | P a g e
240 | P a g e
Step 3

Fill the resulting color segments from the palette shown below.

241 | P a g e
242 | P a g e
243 | P a g e
Step 4

Add another smaller hexagon on top. Fill it with a gradient from R = 255, G = 232, B = 54 (# ffe836) to R =
255, G = 178, B = 72 (# ffb248).

Step 5

Add stars. Fill the background circle with a gradient from R = 66, G = 135, B = 155 (# 42879b) to R = 87, G
= 241, B = 255 (# 57f1ff).

244 | P a g e
Amber is ready! And the last gem remained.

245 | P a g e
6. Amethyst

Step 1

This time the base will be triangular. Draw it with the Polygon Tool, set the size to 150 pixels and three
corners accordingly.

246 | P a g e
Step 2

Now divide the main triangle with additional shapes as shown in the image below. To begin with, place the
base correctly, and in the future drawing you will be helped by "smart" guides. When all the shapes are ready,
select them and apply the Divide command from the Pathfinder panel.

247 | P a g e
248 | P a g e
249 | P a g e
Step 3

Fill the segments.

Then duplicate and shrink the right triangle a little. Fill it with a gradient from R = 197, G = 132, B = 209 (#
c584d1) to black. Change the Blending Mode of the shape to Screen. Do the same with the left segment. Use
a gradient from R = 115, G = 56, B = 181 (# 7338b5) to black.

250 | P a g e
Step 4

Add another triangle on top. Fill it with a gradient from R = 232, G = 181, B = 255 (# e8b5ff) to R = 172, G
= 77, B = 219 (# ac4ddb). Add stars.

251 | P a g e
Step 5

For the background circle, apply a gradient fill from R = 255, G = 88, B = 46 (# ff582e) to R = 255, G = 233,
B = 87 (# ffe957). Don't forget the shadow. And on this the amethyst is ready!

252 | P a g e
253 | P a g e
Congratulations, we're done!

All the “flat” gemstone icons are ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and found something useful in it.

Create Stylish Flat Space Icons in Adobe Illustrator
Create a set of flat space icons in Illustrator

Lesson Result:

In this lesson you will draw a set of six icons in the trendy flat style with long shadow. We will use simple
shapes and the interaction between them using the Pathfinder panel.

1. Rocket Icon

Step 1

Our icons will have a round base. Draw it using the Ellipse Tool (L). I chose 512x512 pixels. Fill this circle with
# 304d5b, which represents space. The same base values will be used in the rest of the icons - remember
them.

256 | P a g e
Step 2

Add a vertically elongated oval. Fill it with #ebebeb color.

257 | P a g e
Then click on the top anchor point with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) so that the point becomes
"angular" and the top of the future rocket acquires a sharp tip.

258 | P a g e
After that, extend the length of the top of the shape's right and left anchor point guides until it looks
something like the one shown below.

259 | P a g e
Step 3

At the bottom of the rocket base, add an overlapping rectangle of any color (see the example in the first
image below). Then select the base of the rocket along with this rectangle and press the Minus Front button
from the Pathfinder panel. It should look like the second picture below.

260 | P a g e
261 | P a g e
Step 4

With the Line Segment Tool (\) draw a line going beyond the boundaries of the shape, along the vertical
center of the rocket base:

262 | P a g e
Select this line along with the rocket base and press the Divide button on the Pathfinder panel. Ungroup the
resulting one (Shift + Ctrl + G). Change the color of the right half to #dedede.

263 | P a g e
Step 5

Add a not very large circle filled with gray (# 959595), positioning it roughly as shown below. Make a copy of
it (Control + C, Control + F) and make it smaller, then change the color to # 64808e. This will be a porthole.

264 | P a g e
Step 6

At the bottom of the rocket add a Rounded Rectangle Tool. Fill it with the same gray color as the window
frame, and in the layers panel lower it below the rest of the rocket elements.

265 | P a g e
Step 7

Now let's add stabilizers. Draw a 100x100 px red circle (# d74f41). Move its bottom anchor point down by 70
pixels. Then click on it with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) so that it becomes "angular".

In the layers panel, lower the shape below the rest of the rocket elements. Then position and rotate it as
shown below:

266 | P a g e
Without removing the selection from the shape, go to Object> Transform> Reflect, specifying there a
reflection along the vertical axis. When finished, click the "Copy" button. Place the resulting reflected duplicate
on the opposite side of the rocket.

267 | P a g e
Step 8

Make a copy of any of the stabilizers added in the previous step. Return it to its vertical view, bring it to the
very front (Shift + Ctrl +]), place it in the vertical center of the rocket, activate the Selection Tool (V) and,
while holding the Alt key, compress it horizontally.

268 | P a g e
Step 9

Let's finalize the rocket. Let's add a red tip and a shadow to the porthole.

To make the top red, do this. Draw an oval with the appropriate fill color (# d74f41) and position it as shown
below.

269 | P a g e
Select it along with the main parts of the rocket, activate the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M), hold down Alt
and click on the outer part of the oval to delete it. After that, lower the rest of the ellipse below the porthole
shapes.

270 | P a g e
271 | P a g e
Step 10

Now let's deal with the porthole. Make a copy of the blue shape (Control + C> Control + F). Move it 10 pixels
to the right and down and change the fill color to # 5b8da6. For the shape remaining in place, set the color to
# 7eacc4.

272 | P a g e
Add a small circle of any color in the place shown in the first image below. Select it along with the offset circle
and press the Minus Front button from the Pathfinder panel. Then make a copy of the blue circle in the center
of the porthole. Select the resulting shape along with this copy and press the Intersect button on the
Pathfinder panel. It should look like the second image below.

273 | P a g e
274 | P a g e
Step 11

Now let's add a long shadow. There are several ways to do this. I will use the one described below.

Select all the rocket elements, duplicate them (Control-C, Control-F) and then unite them by pressing the
Unite button on the Pathfinder panel.

275 | P a g e
Add Effect> Distort & Transform> Transform to the fill (just to it, not to the whole shape) with the settings
shown below:

276 | P a g e
Add Effect> Pathfinder> Add to the same fill. At this point, the program may "think" a little. Now lower the
Opacity of the entire shape to 40% and in the Appearance panel make sure the Transform effect is above the
Add effect. It is important.

277 | P a g e
Change the fill type to a linear gradient with the following settings (both markers are black, the right one is
assigned an opacity of 0%; their position is: left - 25%, right - 60%).

Send the shape to the very back (Shift + Ctrl + [). It should look like this:

278 | P a g e
In order not to repeat all these actions in the future, open the Graphic Styles panel (Window> Graphic Styles;
Shift + F5) and click the New Graphic Style button there. You can name it, for example, "Long shadow".

It remains for us to make sure that the shadow is not visible outside the boundaries of the main circle. To do
this, duplicate it (Control + C, Control + F). In the layers panel, raise the copy above the "long shadow",
select these objects and press Ctrl + 7 to create a clipping mask.

279 | P a g e
For the following icons, just apply the saved graphic style.

Step 12

Add some circles of different sizes with # ffebd0 fill color. These are distant stars of deep space.

280 | P a g e
This completes the rocket icon.

2. Planet Icon

Step 1 The

base here will be the same 512x512 px circle with # 304d5b fill color. Add a 300x300 px circle to it with #
fdc588 fill color.

281 | P a g e
Step 2

Now draw some rectangles similar to the one below, coloring them in shades of yellow.

282 | P a g e
Group these rectangles (Ctrl + G). Make a copy of the yellow circle (Control + C> Control + F) and bring it to
the front (Shift + Control +]). Then select it along with the group of rectangles and press Ctrl + 7 to create a
Clipping Mask. Then rotate this masked group 30 ° counterclockwise.

283 | P a g e
284 | P a g e
Step 3

Make two copies of the yellow circle (Control + C> Control + F> Control + F) and bring them to the very front
(Shift + Control +]). Move the top duplicate 20 pixels up and to the left. Then select both copies and hit the
Intersect button from the Pathfinder panel. Change the Blending Mode of the resulting shape to Screen and
lower its Opacity to 40%.

285 | P a g e
286 | P a g e
Step 4

Let's add a ring to the planet. To do this, draw two circles with dimensions 470x90 and 380x70 pixels. Fill the
larger one with # 556d79, the smaller one with any color. Then select both of them and hit the Minus Front
button from the Pathfinder panel. Rotate the resulting shape 15 ° counterclockwise.

287 | P a g e
288 | P a g e
Now let's hide the top part of the ring, which should be hidden behind the planet. Make a copy of the yellow
circle, bring it to the very front and draw with the Line Segment Tool (\) a line intersecting it at about the
place shown below.

289 | P a g e
Select the copy of the circle along with the line and press the Divide button from the Pathfinder
panel. Ungroup the resulting group (Shift + Ctrl + G). Remove the lower part. Fill the top one with black and,
without removing the selection from it, add a ring, then click the "Make Mask" button in the Transparency
panel (Window> Transparency; Shift + Ctrl + F10). In the same place, uncheck the "Clip" item. It should look
like this:

290 | P a g e
Step 5

Add a long shadow using the graphic style saved in the first section. Here you do not need to make a copy of
all the shapes, but only the rings (removing the opacity mask from the copy) and the yellow circle.

291 | P a g e
And there are stars:

292 | P a g e
3. Radio telescope antenna icon

Step 1

Draw a circle 300px in diameter and fill it with # d74f41. Add a rectangle that overlaps its right side by a little
less than half. Select both shapes and hit the Minus Front button from the Pathfinder panel. You should get
what is shown below.

293 | P a g e
Divide this nearly semicircle in two horizontally. This process is described in the first section. Fill the bottom
with # bb4031.

294 | P a g e
Step 2

Add a vertically elongated oval with # 556d79 fill color and place it as shown below.

Now with the Polygon Tool (located in the same group with the Rectangle Tool (M)) click on the artboard. In
the dialog box that appears, set some small radius (up to 15 pixels) and three vertices. Place the resulting
triangle as shown below and stretch it with the Selection Tool (V).

295 | P a g e
At the tip of the triangle, add a small circle. The fill color of the triangle and circle is # 959595.

296 | P a g e
Rotate all elements of the radio telescope 30 ° counterclockwise.

297 | P a g e
Step 3 In the

same way as described above, add a triangle (fill color # 959595) at the bottom of the radio telescope. Align
this triangle with the horizontal center of the illustration, and move all the elements of the radio telescope
relative to it to get something like the one shown below.

298 | P a g e
Without removing the selection from the triangle, execute the command Object> Path> Offset Path with an
offset of around -16 pixels. Then select both triangles and press the Minus Front button from the Pathfinder
panel. Lower the resulting figure below the rest of the radio telescope elements.

299 | P a g e
Step 4

Add a long shadow and stars (I moved everything up a little more).

300 | P a g e
4. UFO Icon

Step 1

Draw a circle with a diameter of 300 px and add an oval overlapping the top of it, just below the
middle. Select both shapes and hit the Intersect button from the Pathfinder panel. Change the color of the
resulting shape to # 7eacc4.

301 | P a g e
302 | P a g e
Step 2

Add a 450x160 px ellipse. Fill it with # d74f41 and drop it below the shape obtained at the end of the previous
step, positioning it as shown in the image below.

303 | P a g e
Make a copy of this oval in Back (Control + C> Control + B). Change the fill color of this copy to # 9f3025 and
stretch it in height so that it looks like in the first image below. Then select both red ellipses and press the
button and use the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M) to delete the upper dark red part.

304 | P a g e
305 | P a g e
Step 3

At the bottom of the UFO, add a rectangle with a width equal to the blue "hemisphere" and sufficient height
(refer to the example below). Fill it with # 959595 and lower it below the rest of the UFO.

306 | P a g e
Convert the rectangle to a trapezoid by moving the bottom anchor points 20 pixels into the inside of the
shape. Use the Add Anchor Point Tool (+) to add an anchor point at the center of the bottom side. Pull it down
a little, rounding this edge. But by default this point will be "straight", so add guides to it using the Convert
Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C).

307 | P a g e
Add a yellow oval (# fed6a2) there. Lower it below the rest of the UFO elements.

308 | P a g e
309 | P a g e
If the bottom part seems a bit big, then move the bottom anchor points of the trapezoid and the yellow oval
up, which I did.

310 | P a g e
Step 4

Add shadow to the UFO dome, similar to how we did it for the rocket porthole. Only here the offset of the copy
of the main shape will be 20 pixels.

311 | P a g e
Draw three small yellow ovals (# fed6a2) positioned as shown below.

312 | P a g e
Step 5

There remains a long shadow and stars.

313 | P a g e
5. Conventional telescope icon

Step 1

Draw a 300x150 px rectangle. With the already familiar manipulations, divide it into two parts horizontally. Fill
the top with # d74f41 and the bottom with # bb4031. Add two more rectangles on the left side. Set the top
fill color to # bb4031, and the bottom one to # 9f3025.

314 | P a g e
Step 2

On the right side add another rectangle with # 9f3025 fill color.

315 | P a g e
In the same place, draw a narrow oval slightly less high than the rectangle. Fill it with # 5b8da6 color. Then
click on the top and bottom anchor points with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) and lower it below
it. And also move the whole structure to the left, closer to the center of the image.

316 | P a g e
317 | P a g e
Using a familiar technique, add a highlight to the "eye" of the telescope.

318 | P a g e
Step 3

With the Rectangle Tool (M) and the Rounded Rectangle Tool, draw the following elements. The fill color for
the light ones is # 959595, the dark ones are # 666666.

319 | P a g e
Now rotate all elements of the telescope (but not the tripod) 15 ° counterclockwise. If necessary, change the
position of the tripod and the length of its constituent elements and the telescope itself (which I did).

320 | P a g e
As always, only a long shadow and stars remain.

321 | P a g e
6. Icon of the crescent moon in the clouds

Step 1

Subtract a smaller circle from a 300x300 px circle filled with # fed6a2 with the familiar manipulations.

322 | P a g e
Step 2

From several circles with # 7eacc4 fill color draw the base of the cloud.

323 | P a g e
Unite them using the "Unite" command from the Pathfinder panel. Then draw a rectangle crossing the bottom
of them (see the first image below) and subtract from the cloud using the Minus Front command from the
Pathfinder panel.

324 | P a g e
325 | P a g e
Add another cloud in the same way, as well as a long shadow and stars.

326 | P a g e
Houston, we have no problem!

Our space icons in a "flat" style are ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.

Create Autumn Leaves, Berries and Chestnut Icons in Adobe
Illustrator

Lesson Result:

In this lesson you will draw icons on the autumn theme: yellow and red leaves, berries, acorns, chestnuts. In
the process, we will only use simple shapes, as well as a few useful tricks.

1. Draw a chestnut leaf

Step 1

Start the program and create a new document (Ctrl + N). We'll start with the main vein of the leaf. Draw a
triangle with the Polygon Tool. Fill it with R = 132 G = 98 B = 3 (# 846203). Then drag the triangle vertically
and apply Effect> Warp> Arc Lower to the shape with the following values. Go to Object> Expand

329 | P a g e
Appearance.

We now have a stalk that attaches the leaf to the branch of the tree. We will use this shape for all the other
leaves, changing its fill color. Therefore, make a copy of the shape and hide it. I'll let you know when you
need it.

Step 2

Now let's create a sheet. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to draw an oval. Fill it with R = 215 G = 195 B = 0 (#

330 | P a g e
d7c300). Then with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) click on the bottom anchor point of the oval to
turn it into a corner one. This will make the tip of the figure sharp.

Now with the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the central anchor points and move them up. Then with the
same tool, while holding Alt, change the position of the guides of the upper anchor point as shown below.

Step 3

It's time to use a copy of the stem shape, but not hidden, but create another one. Select it and hold Alt to
create a duplicate, move it so that it is in the middle of the sheet drawn in the previous step. Then make a
few more copies of the stem and position them as shown in the image below, forming the veins of the leaf.

331 | P a g e
Step 4

Group all the shapes of the leaf and make a copy of it. Shrink it a little while holding Shift to maintain the
proportions, rotate it -45 ° and position it as shown in the image below, on the left. Make another copy of the
sheet, shrink it a little more, rotate it -45 ° and place it as shown in the image below in the center. Repeat the
same steps to add another smaller copy.

332 | P a g e
Step 5

Select the three leaves on the left side, added in the previous step, and reflect them using the command
Object> Transform> Reflect, specifying the vertical axis there. When finished, click the "Copy" button. Place
the resulting mirrored duplicates on the right side. Then Group all the chestnut leaf shapes (Control-G).

333 | P a g e
2. Draw the berries

Step 1

Draw a circle using the Ellipse Tool (L). Fill it with R = 193 G = 5 B = 45 (# c1052d). Make two copies of this
circle (Control-C> Control-F> Control-F) and move the top one up and to the left. Then select both copies and
hit the Minus Front button from the Pathfinder panel. Fill the resulting shape with R = 178 G = 2 B = 40 (#
b20228).

Step 2

Add an oval. Fill it with R = 214 G = 7 B = 46 (# d6072e). Position and rotate it as shown in the image below,
in the center. Then with the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the anchor point marked in the same place and
move it to the outer border of the large circle. It should look like the one shown in the same image on the
right.

334 | P a g e
Step 3

Now let's draw the sepal. Create a narrow oval. With the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) click on its top
and bottom anchor points to get sharp tips. Duplicate the shape (Control + C, Control + F). Rotate it 90 °.

Step 4

Position the sepal as shown below.

335 | P a g e
Step 5

Using the same "recipe" draw two more types of berries.

Step 6

Now you can use the previously hidden copy of the stem. Turn on its visibility, make a duplicate (which can be
hidden again or simply moved outside the artboard so as not to get in the way). Change the fill color of the
remaining shape to R = 85 G = 25 B = 0 (# 551900). Make several copies of the repainted stem and build a
twig from them. Arrange the berries on the tips. When finished, group all the shapes (Control-G).

336 | P a g e
3. Draw a maple leaf

Step 1

Using the already familiar technology, create an oval with sharp corners. Fill it with R = 239 G = 65 B = 53 (#
ef4135).

337 | P a g e
Step 2

Make two copies of the shape. Reduce their size and place them on the left half, as shown in the image below,
on the left. Then select them and flip them vertically to create duplicates. Move these duplicates to the right
side.

338 | P a g e
Step 3

Make a copy of the stem. Change the color of the shape to R = 181 G = 18 B = 27 (# b5121b) and center the
sheet from the last step (see image). Then make a copy of all these elements, scale them down and rotate
them proportionally. Place it as shown in the image below, on the right.

339 | P a g e
Step 4

Repeat the process of copying the sheet until the left side is filled.

340 | P a g e
Step 5

Select the leaves on the left side and flip vertically to create a copy. Move the resulting duplicates to the right
side.

341 | P a g e
Step 6

Draw a circle in the middle of the entire sheet:

342 | P a g e
Step 7

Without removing the selection from the circle, add all the other red shapes to it (you can quickly do this with
the Select> Same> Fill Color command) and click the Unite button on the Pathfinder panel. Group all the
elements of the maple leaf.

4. Create a branch with pink leaves

Step 1

Create an oval with pointed corners. Fill it with R = 209 G = 18 B = 66 (# d11242). Add Effect> Distort &
Transform> Roughen to the shape with the settings shown below. Then go to Object> Expand Appearance.

344 | P a g e
Step 2

Make another copy of the stem. Change the fill color of the shape to R = 130 G = 0 B = 36 (#
820024). Position it as shown in the image below, on the left. Then duplicate the leaf and stem. Make the
stalk much shorter. Then rotate these copies so they look like in the image below, in the center. Select this
leaf and move it down while holding Alt to make a copy. Then just press Ctrl + D to repeat the last operation
until the root of the branch ends.

345 | P a g e
Step 3

Select all the leaves on the left side and flip them vertically making duplicates, which don't forget to place
them on the right side of the branch. When finished, group all the elements of the icon.

346 | P a g e
5. Draw an acorn

Step 1

Start by creating two ovals of different sizes filled with R = 205 G = 178 B = 47 (# cdb22f)

347 | P a g e
Step 2

Now add a brown ellipse (R = 121 G = 68 B = 0; # 794400). Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the
central anchor points of this shape and move them down.

Step 3

348 | P a g e
Draw a small rectangle with the same brown color. Apply Effect> Warp> Arc to it with the settings
below. Then go to Object> Expand Appearance.

Step 4

Align all the acorn elements. To show the volume, add an ellipse to the head and body with a lighter fill than
the base color of these shapes.

349 | P a g e
Step 5

Add a second acorn. Make one of them a little darker. Then group all the elements of the icon.

6. Create a yellow leaf

350 | P a g e
Step 1

From the duplicate stem, draw the shape shown below. Here change the color of these shapes to R = 117 G =
63 B = 0 (# 753f00).

Step 2

Draw a yellow circle. On its top anchor point, click with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C). Then add
Effect> Warp> Arc to the shape with the settings shown below. Don't forget to do Object> Expand
Appearance here and in the next two steps.

351 | P a g e
Step 3

Now add Effect> Distort & Transform> Roughen with the settings below. Then group all the elements of the
icon.

352 | P a g e
7. Create three green leaves

Step 1

Draw a green oval (R = 215 G = 195 B = 0; # d7c300). Move the central anchor points down, and sharpen
the top. Then add Effect> Distort & Transform> Zig Zag with the parameters shown below. You can
experiment with these settings.

353 | P a g e
Step 2

Add a stem and make two slightly darker copies of this leaf. Don't forget to group all the elements of the icon.

354 | P a g e
8. Draw chestnuts

Step 1

Using the familiar technique, create a vertically flattened brown oval (R = 85 G = 25 B = 0; # 551900). Add
an ellipse filled with color R = 218 G = 199 B = 146 (# dac792). Duplicate the brown shape (Control + C>
Control + F). Select it along with the light one and hit the Intersect button from the Pathfinder panel. Add
another distorted oval in a lighter color at the top to add volume.

Step 2

Create a couple more chestnuts by simply distorting the shape of the existing shapes. They must first be
copied, of course.

355 | P a g e
Step 3

Gather the chestnuts together and group all the elements of the icon.

356 | P a g e
9. Draw an oak leaf

Step 1

Using the copies of the stem, draw the base of the branch. Draw an oval at the top center. Fill it with R = 205
G = 178 B = 47 (# cdb22f). Add three smaller duplicates on the left side, then flip them to the right
side. When finished, add an oval in the center of the entire sheet.

357 | P a g e
Step 2

Select all the ovals and unite them by pressing the Unite button on the Pathfinder panel. Use the Convert
Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) to sharpen the bottom anchor point of the resulting shape.

10. Add Background

Step 1

Draw a rectangle to fit the artboard (in my case it's 600x600 pixels). Fill it with R = 247 G = 245 B = 178 (#
f7f5b2). Add nine circles in a darker shade (R = 239 G = 238 B = 128; # efee80).

358 | P a g e
Step 2

Place the icons in circles.

How to Create a Set of Flat Animal Icons in Adobe Illustrator How to Create a Set
of Flat Animal Icons in
Illustrator

Lesson Result:

In this lesson we will create six icons with portraits of animals, the main one for which will be a circle. We will
draw in a "flat" style using the basic shapes, the Shape Builder Tool, the Pathfinder panel and some other
Illustrator functions.

1. Draw an Elegant Siamese Cat

Step 1

Create a new document of any size. Activate the Ellipse Tool (L). Click on it within the work area and in the
dialog box that appears, specify the size of 60x60 pixels. Fill the shape with sandy beige.

361 | P a g e
Step 2

With the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the left and right anchor points and move them down a little. The
base of the muzzle is ready.

362 | P a g e
Step 3

Now let's draw the ear. Use the Polygon Tool (found in the same group with the Rectangle Tool (M)) to create
a shape with the settings shown below. Then apply Effect> Warp> Bulge to it, the parameters of which are
specified there. Without removing the selection from the shape, go to Object> Expand Appearance. With the
Direct Selection Tool (A) select the top anchor point and then click the Convert corners to smooth button on
the Control Panel. Shorten the guides of the same point and lift it up a little by itself.

363 | P a g e
364 | P a g e
365 | P a g e
Step 4

Make a copy of the shape created in the previous step (Control + C, Control + F). Reduce it and change the fill
color to chocolate brown. Then rotate both ear shapes and position them on the left side of the head. Then
send them to the very back (Shift + Ctrl + [). Make a copy of these elements, flip them along the vertical axis
using the command Object> Transform> Reflect and place them on the right side.

366 | P a g e
367 | P a g e
368 | P a g e
Step 5

Select the head shape. With the Eraser Tool (Shift + E), while holding Alt, erase the top part as shown below.

Step 6

Use the Polygon Tool to add a small triangular nose in pink. Use the Live Corner function (available from the
CC version) to round the corners of this triangle. If this function is not available in your version of the
program, then use the Effect> Stylize> Round Corners effect.

369 | P a g e
Step 7

Draw another circle on the face. Align the shape with the Align panel to the horizontal center of the nose,
using it as a key object. Use the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) to reshape the circle as shown at the
top right of the image below. To keep the offset of the anchor point guides the same, use the guides in the
illustration. They can be "pulled out" from the rulers (Ctrl + R).

Fill the resulting shape with the same brown color as the inner part of the ears (you can simply sample the
color from there with the Eyedropper Tool (I)). After that add a small oval of a lighter shade, dropping it below

370 | P a g e
the shape added in this step.

Translator's note. The author's narrative doesn't look consistent. In theory, at first, according to the same
principle, we had to align the nose with the horizontal center of the muzzle. And only then to align something
relative to it. But there is nothing about the alignment of the nose itself in the text, as if it is automatically
centered.

371 | P a g e
Step 8

Let's add the eyes. Draw a small oval. Select its right anchor point and click the Convert selected anchor
points to corner button on the control panel. Fill the modified shape with light blue. Then draw another
oval. Fill it with dark gray. After that, select both shapes added in this step, activate the Shape Builder Tool
(Shift + M), hold down Alt and delete the top part of the dark gray oval. Copy the finished eye, flip it vertically
and place it on the opposite side.

372 | P a g e
Step 9

Mark the eyebrows with two light brown ovals, and the highlights in the eyes of our cat with two white circles.

373 | P a g e
Draw another oval on top of the nose. Fill it with a lighter shade of pink than the nose itself. Then select both
shapes and delete the top part of the oval using the Shape Builder Tool as we did in the last step.

374 | P a g e
Step 10

Darken half of the face according to the latest flat style trends. It kind of shows the shadow.

Select all the shapes (Control-A), group (Control-G) them, duplicate (Control-C, Control-F) and then unite
them using the Unite command from the Pathfinder panel. Change the Blending Mode of the resulting shape
to Multiply. After that, in the familiar way, delete the left half of this shape using the Eraser Tool (Shift + E).

And on this, the cat icon is ready.

375 | P a g e
376 | P a g e
377 | P a g e
2. Draw a mischievous puppy

Step 1

As in the previous case, we will be based on a circle with a diameter of 60 pixels. Delete the upper part of it
with the Eraser Tool, and move the side anchor points down a little. After that, move the left anchor point an
additional 5 pixels to the left and the right anchor point 5 pixels to the right. It is convenient to do this
operation with the command Object> Transform> Move (Shift + Ctrl + M).

378 | P a g e
Step 2

379 | P a g e
Reselect both side anchor points and click the familiar "Convert selected anchor points to corner" button on
the control panel. Then with the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C), change the position of the lower
guides of the same points to horizontal, giving the shape the look shown in the second part of the image
below.

Step 3

Draw a triangle with the Polygon Tool. Give it a size of 40x35 pixels. After that, using the Curvature Tool
(Shift + `) make the side edges of the triangle more rounded. If your version of the program does not have
this tool, you can use the Bulge effect, as in the previous section.

380 | P a g e
Give the top anchor point a more "round" look and move it to the left. Then use the Object> Path> Offset
Path command with an offset of -3 pixels to create the inner part of the ear. Fill the ear shapes with shades of
gray.

381 | P a g e
382 | P a g e
Step 4

Place the ear in the proper place, then make a mirrored copy of it, which is sent to the opposite side.

Step 5

Add a small oval with a dark gray fill. This will be the nose. Move its bottom anchor point down a little. After
that add two larger ovals filled with a lighter shade. Group them and align them horizontally to the center of
the nose shape, using it as a key. Remember to raise your nose above these ovals.

383 | P a g e
Step 6

Let's add a protruding tongue. Draw a pink rectangle and place it below the light gray ovals. Round the
bottom completely using the Live Corners function (or the Round Corners effect or the Round Any Corner
script for older versions; if using the effect, make the rectangle longer so that the rounded corners at the top
are not visible). Then with the Line Segment Tool (\), while holding Shift, draw a vertical line in the middle of
the tongue (or align it, indicating the key object, in fact, the tongue), to which assign the stroke parameters
shown below with a darker shade of pink.

384 | P a g e
385 | P a g e
Step 7

Let's draw the eyes. Create a dark blue oval and an overlapping ellipse with a larger size and any color. Select
both shapes and use the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M) to delete the lower part of the larger oval. After that
draw a pupil circle and a small flare circle.

When one eye is ready, make a copy of it. Place your eyes on opposite sides of the face. Turn the left one a
little clockwise, the right one counterclockwise by the same angle.

386 | P a g e
387 | P a g e
388 | P a g e
Step 8

Draw four circles as shown below. Select the two large circles along with the main head shape and delete the
lower part of them using the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M). Select the rest of them along with the smaller
circles and unite with the "Unite" command from the Pathfinder panel. Delete the gap in the center of the
resulting shape by simply selecting its outline with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and pressing Delete a couple
of times. Fill it with light gray and drop it below the eyes and mouth in the layers panel.

389 | P a g e
Step 9

Draw one eyebrow with small rounded rectangles. Rotate it and make a flipped copy to the opposite side.

Then darken the right side of the face as described in the last step of the previous section.

And on this, the puppy icon is ready.

390 | P a g e
391 | P a g e
392 | P a g e
3. Draw a fantastic raccoon

Step 1

Let's start again with a circle with a diameter of 60 pixels. Give it the shape shown below. Make the lateral
anchor points angular in the familiar way.

Duplicate the ears from the cat, repaint in the appropriate colors and place in the proper places.

393 | P a g e
394 | P a g e
Step 2

From an 18x10 px oval with a dark gray fill, create a nose. Then add a larger ellipse, but only with a stroke,
removing the fill from it. Use the Scissors Tool (C) to cut this oval along the side anchor points. Remove the
upper part.

Step 3

Duplicate the main shape of the raccoon's face. Reduce it a lot, fill it with white and place it below the nose
and smile in the layers panel. Add eyes and highlights to them. Then make another copy of the main shape of
the face, resize it and place it as shown below. Fill this shape with dark blue. We got a raccoon mask. Don't
forget to drop it in the layers panel below the white shape.

395 | P a g e
Step 4

396 | P a g e
In the middle of the "mask" draw a rectangle as shown below. Select it along with the "mask" and press the
"Minus Front" button on the Pathfinder panel (or "Divide", as the author suggests, but then you will have to
delete parts of the rectangle yourself). Round the corners of the resulting parts of the "mask" in a suitable
way. Don't forget to darken the right half of the muzzle.

4. Draw a friendly panda

Step 1

Another circle with a diameter of 60 pixels. Lower its lateral anchor points down a little, giving the desired
shape.

397 | P a g e
Step 2

Duplicate the puppy's nose and two ovals below it. Unite the ovals with the "Unite" command from the
Pathfinder panel and give the resulting shape a stroke with the same color as the nose. Cut the path along the
side points. Remove the top part and the bottom fill.

398 | P a g e
Step 3

Now copy the eyes of the raccoon. Convert the dark area to a large, vertically elongated oval, which then
rotate and make a reflected copy of it for the other side. Increase the former highlight, raise it above the dark
ovals, position it symmetrically and then apply the Object> Path> Offset Path command to both shapes with
an offset of -1 pixel.

399 | P a g e
400 | P a g e
401 | P a g e
Step 4

Create one ear from two circles. Make a mirrored copy of it on the opposite side and don't forget to add a
shadow for the right half of the whole portrait.

5. Draw the wise bear

Step 1

Again, start with a circle with a diameter of 60 pixels. Deform it as shown below, moving the side anchor
points down and the top anchor point up. Then use the Eraser Tool (Shift + E) to erase the upper part of the

402 | P a g e
403 | P a g e
404 | P a g e
Step 2

Use two circles of the same size to mark the ears. Use the Object> Path> Offset Path command with an offset

405 | P a g e
406 | P a g e
407 | P a g e
Step 3

Create a nose from a small oval. Then add a rectangle with a light beige fill and drop it below the nose. Move
the upper left anchor point of the rectangle 5 pixels to the right, and the right one to the left by the same

408 | P a g e
409 | P a g e
410 | P a g e
Step 4

Mark the lower jaw with another small oval. Drop this shape below the light beige shape added in the previous
step. By the way, make it shorter. Add eyes, highlights in them and darken the right side of the icon.

6. Draw a Cunning Chanterelle

Step 1

411 | P a g e
Deform another 60 px circle as shown below. Lower the anchor points on the sides a little down. Use the
familiar actions to transform all three lower anchor points of the figure into "corner" ones.

Step 2

Duplicate the raccoon's ears. Arrange them properly and change the color scheme. Add a black oval
nose. Remove the bottom part using the Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M).

412 | P a g e
Step 3

Draw another, this time a rather large oval. Place it on the left side as shown below. After that, make a
mirrored copy of it and place it symmetrically on the right side. For both ellipses, delete the parts outside our
chanterelle. Fill the remaining parts with light beige.

Add eyes and highlights to them.

413 | P a g e
414 | P a g e
Step 4

Round the tip of our chanterelle's nose. Use the Object> Path> Offset Path command with an offset of -1 pixel
to create a highlight on the nose. Then, on the orange part above the nose, draw a light orange oval. Holding
Alt and Shift, make several duplicates of it, positioning them as shown below. Thus, we have depicted the
stylized fur.

Step 5

Darken the right side of the icon in a familiar way.

415 | P a g e
7. Adding a Long Shadow to the Icons

Step 1

We have six animal icons drawn in a flat style. Finish them off by adding background circles and a long
shadow. I will describe this process using the example of a raccoon icon.

Draw a circle with a diameter of 106 pixels. Fill it with turquoise and place it below the raccoon icon in the
Layers panel and in the center of the work area.

The base of the long shadow will be a square with a side of 80 pixels. It must be rotated 45 °.

416 | P a g e
Step 2

Change the Blending Mode of the square to Multiply and make it semi-transparent. Position the shape so that
it overlaps the main part of the icon. It may need to be lengthened / shortened or made narrower / wider for

417 | P a g e
this. Find the two extreme points of the icon that touch the former square. With the Add Anchor Point Tool (+)
add anchor points on the rectangle in those places, and with the Delete Anchor Point Tool (-) delete the extra
point at the top of the shape. It should look like shown in the image below, in the second row from the
right. Drop the shadow below the head, then delete the part of it that goes beyond the circle-base using the
Shape Builder Tool (Shift + M).

The rest of the shadows are added in the same way.

418 | P a g e
419 | P a g e
420 | P a g e
Great job!

Here is a set of animal icons, drawn in a "flat" style. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Don't forget to show your

Difficulty: Medium

 1 351

Pokemon is a trademark created by Japanese Satoshi Tajiri in 1995. Although initially Pokemon were born
in the form of a game, they are better known to the Russian-speaking audience by the animated series of the
same name.

Today, the popularity of pocket monsters has skyrocketed again, thanks to the relatively recent release of
Pokemon GO. While the hysteria around the game has subsided, I think Pokémon fans would be interested
to know how to create a set of Pokémon-style icons.

Setting up the document

422 | P a g e
As always, we start by creating a new document in the menu File - New (File - New) or using the key
combination Ctrl + N, in the window that appears, enter the following parameters:

 Number of Artboards : 1
 Width : 800 px
 Height : 600 px
 Units : Pixels

Then below we configure additional parameters:

 Color Mode : RGB


 Raster Effects : Screen (72 ppi)
 Activate the Align the New the Objects to Pixel Grid (Align objects on a grid)

423 | P a g e
Create layers
Having created a working document, we can add all the necessary layers so that we have a completely
finished working environment and we can focus only on creating icons.

To do this, open the layers panel, create five layers and rename them:

 Layer 1 - mesh
 Layer 2 - Pokeball
 Layer 3 - Pokedex
 Layer 4 - incubator
 Layer 5 - egg

Create a grid

424 | P a g e
The baseline grid is a special layout that will allow us to create icons in the same position and size. As a
rule, the size of the grid depends on the size of the icons themselves and this must be taken into account
from the very beginning of the development process, but it is worth starting from the smallest size.

In our case, we will use one size - 128 x 128 pixels.

Step 1
Lock all layers by clicking on the empty square next to the eye icon in the layers panel (as a result, a lock
icon should appear). Then take the Rectangle Tool (M) and draw a red (# ff6b57) 128 x 128 px rectangle
that will define the overall size of the icon.

425 | P a g e
Step 2
Inside the previous square, draw a new white color with a size of 116 x 116 pixels, which will be the
working area for a separate icon. In this case, the indent from the borders of the red square should be 6
pixels.

Step 3
Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + G, group the two squares together, then create three copies and place
them at a distance of 40 pixels from each other, place them in the center of the document.

426 | P a g e
Once we're done with the mesh, we can lock the layer so we don't accidentally change it.

How to draw a pokeball


The first icon we will draw is the red and white sphere icon that helps trainers to catch and store Pokémon -
Poké Ball.
Before drawing, switch to the "pokeball" layer and zoom in on the document in the first cell of our grid.

427 | P a g e
Step 1
Start with the top half of the ball and use the Ellipse Tool (L) (Oval) to draw a 108 x 108 px red circle (#
ff6b57). Place the circle in the center of the square.

428 | P a g e
429 | P a g e
Step 2
Next, create a 116 x 52 px rectangle that we will snap to the top of the cell to cover half of the circle. Select
both shapes, right click and choose Make Clipping Mask .

430 | P a g e
431 | P a g e
Step 3
Next, add a stroke to the half of the pokeball. To do this, draw a new circle with a size of 116 x 116 pixels
(color # 423b3b), on which we apply a rectangular mask with a size of 116 x 56 pixels, as we did in the
previous step. Don't forget to send the second circle to the back by right-clicking and choosing Arrange -
Send to Back .

Group the two halves together (Control-G) as we will be copying them to create the bottom part.

432 | P a g e
433 | P a g e
Step 4
Create the bottom half of the pokeball by copying the top (Control + C then Control + F). Next, reflect the
copy horizontally, for this, right-click on the object and select Transform - Reflect -
Horizontal (Transform - Flip - Horizontal). Change the color of the copy to a light gray (# ede2e2).

434 | P a g e
435 | P a g e
Step 5
Fill the empty space between the halves of the pokeball with a 104 x 4 px rectangle (color # 423b3b).

436 | P a g e
Step 6
Next, in the center, draw a 44 x 44 px round button (color # 423b3b).

437 | P a g e
Step 7
Continue drawing the button and now add a 28 x 28 px circle using the color # ede2e2.

438 | P a g e
Step 8
Draw a 20 x 20 px circle (color # 423b3b), which we snap to the center of the previous circle.

439 | P a g e
Step 9
And draw the last 12 x 12 px circle (color # ede2e2). Select all the circles and merge them into a group (Ctrl
+ G) so that we don't accidentally split the button.

440 | P a g e
441 | P a g e
Step 10
We have finished drawing the main elements and will continue to detail the Pokeball using shadows and
highlights.

First, double-click on the group with the button (on the largest light gray circle) to switch to isolation mode,
then create two copies of this circle (Control-C, then Control-F). Move the top one 2 pixels down, then hold
Shift, select the second copy and go to Window> Pathfinder and select Minus Front to create the border.

Step 11
Change the border color to white and reduce its opacity to 80%. Double click anywhere on the canvas to exit
isolation mode.

442 | P a g e
443 | P a g e
Step 12
Repeat the above process and add the same border on a small light gray circle.

444 | P a g e
Step 13
Add a highlight on the upper half of the pokeball, only this time we lower the copy by 4 pixels and
additionally set the blending mode to Soft Light . To set the blending mode, click on the Opacity label on
the top layer panel and select the desired mode in the window that appears.

Another important point! If you double-click on the top half of the pokeball, then you isolate the entire area
along with the stroke, but we only need a red circle. To get to it, we in isolation mode simply open the
"pokeball" layer in the layers panel and there we find a separate layer with a red circle. We duplicate it, and
then turn the copy into a lens flare.

445 | P a g e
446 | P a g e
Step 14
Add the last highlight on the bottom half of the pokeball. Isolate the bottom part, in the Layers panel, find a
layer with a light gray shape (not a path!), Then press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + F to create ONE copy. Next, go to
the Window panel - Pathfinder ( Window - Pathfinder ) and merge the copied shape into one object by
clicking on the Merge button . Thus, we merged the clipping mask with the circle and got one half object.

After that press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + F again to copy the merged object. Move the top copy below, then hold
down the Shift key and select the second copy and click on the Minus Front button on
the Pathfinder panel . Change the color of the resulting line to white, reduce the opacity to 80% and exit
isolation mode.

We then isolate the large dark gray circle in the center of the Poke Ball. Press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + F to
duplicate it twice. Hold down the Shift and Alt keys and enlarge the top copy exactly the width of the strip
that we created above. In the layers panel, select the second copy, the scale of which we have not changed,

447 | P a g e
and click on the Minus Back button (Subtract from the back shape). Change the color of the shape to white
and reduce the Opacity to 80%.

Now, on top of the resulting ring, we create a rectangle so that it overlaps the top half of the ring.

448 | P a g e
Then, while holding down the Shift key, select the ring and rectangle and click on the Minus
Front button (Subtract from the front shape).

449 | P a g e
450 | P a g e
Step 15
After finishing with highlights, add a shadow on the button. Select the smaller dark gray circle on the button
and press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + B to duplicate it. Set the copy's color to black and reduce the opacity to 28%.

451 | P a g e
452 | P a g e
Step 16
Finish up the icon by adding a shadow at the bottom of the pokeball using the method described in the
previous step.

When finished, select all the elements of the icon and group them (Ctrl + G).

453 | P a g e
Draw pokedex

454 | P a g e
Go to the next empty layer and zoom in on the working canvas.

Step 1
Take the Rounded Rectangle Tool (M) and create a 72 x 108 px rectangle with a 4 px radius at the
corners. Fill the shape with red (# ff6b57) and place it in the center of the cell.

455 | P a g e
456 | P a g e
Step 2
Add a stroke. To do this, select the object and the transitions Object - Path - Offset Path (Object - Contour
- Create a parallel path), in the window that appears, set the Offset (Offset) to 4 pixels and in the drop-down
menu Joins ( Joins ) select Miter (Cut).

457 | P a g e
458 | P a g e
Step 3
Change the stroke color to # 423b3b.

459 | P a g e
Step 4
Before we start adding new elements, we need to add a lens flare at the top of the Pokedex. To do this, use
the method described in the Pokeball section. Use white for the color, set the Blending Mode to Soft
Light and reduce the Opacity to 80%.

460 | P a g e
461 | P a g e
Step 5
Next, we create a lens. Draw an 8 x 8 px circle (color # 34d5ea) with a 4 px wide stroke (color #
423b3b). Add a stroke using the Offset Path (Create a parallel path). Group both elements using the key
combination Ctrl + G and place them in the upper left corner.

462 | P a g e
463 | P a g e
Step 6
Draw small 2 x 2 px indicator lights (red: # d96151, yellow: # ffb85a, green: # 92db63) with a 2 px wide
stroke (color # 423b3b). Group each circle together with a stroke (Ctrl + G) and place them to the right of
the lens.

464 | P a g e
465 | P a g e
Step 7
Take the Pen Tool (P) (Pen) and draw a curved line that separates the top of the Pokedex from the drop-
down lid. Use the color # 423b3b.

466 | P a g e
467 | P a g e
Step 8
Draw a 4 x 88 px side of the pop-up lid, use # ff6b57 for the fill and # 423b3b for the 4 px stroke.

468 | P a g e
Step 9
Add small details in the form of horizontal lines on the side of the lid measuring 4 x 4 pixels (color #
423b3b). We place one at the top, the other at the bottom.

When finished, select all the elements of the side part of the lid and group them (Ctrl + G).

469 | P a g e
470 | P a g e
Step 10
Using the Pen Tool (P), draw a small right arrow triangle (color # 423b3b) and place it on the left side of
the lid exactly in the center.

471 | P a g e
472 | P a g e
Step 11
Take the Rounded Rectangle Tool and create a 28 x 2 px shape (color # d96151) with a corner radius of 1
px, then add a 2 px wide stroke (color # 423b3b) to the rectangle, group this element and place it at the
bottom of the lid by center.

473 | P a g e
474 | P a g e
Step 12
Having finished with all the necessary Pokedex elements, we can start adding highlights and shadows. Pay
attention to this step and add light and shade where you see fit. When finished, select all the elements of the
icon and group (Ctrl + G).

475 | P a g e
Draw an incubator

476 | P a g e
As usual, switch to the next layer and zoom in on the canvas.

Step 1
Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool , create a 68 x 32 px shape (color # ede2e2) with a 14 px radius. Next,
take the Direct Selection Tool (A) (Partial Selection). Our task is to remove the bottom row of anchor
points. To do this, click on them and press the Delete key.

After deleting the points, press Ctrl + J to close the outline of the shape and apply a 4px stroke (# 423b3b) to
it, snap the object to the top of the cell.

Step 2
Use the Minus Front shape mode to add a white highlight with 80% opacity.

477 | P a g e
478 | P a g e
Step 3
Draw a 28 x 10 px rounded rectangle with a 4 px radius. Fill it with yellow (# ffb85a) and add a 2px stroke
(# 423b3b). Place the element in the center of the previous rectangle.

479 | P a g e
480 | P a g e
Step 4
We draw the inner part of the panel. Create a 24 x 6 px rectangle (# 423b3b) with 2 px radius corners. Then
select all three shapes and group them together (Control-G).

481 | P a g e
482 | P a g e
Step 5
Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a 68 x 4 px rectangle (# ffb85a). Add a 4px Stroke (# 423b3b) and
place the shape below the previous one.

483 | P a g e
484 | P a g e
Step 6
Create two more 80 x 4 px rectangles (# 423b3b) and place one on the top of the yellow shape and one on
the bottom.

485 | P a g e
486 | P a g e
Step 7
At the bottom of the yellow shape in the center, add another 26 x 2 px rectangle (# 423b3b).

487 | P a g e
Step 8
We draw a glass panel. Create a 60 x 48 px black rectangle and lower its Opacity to 14%. Place the shape
under the yellow rectangle.

488 | P a g e
489 | P a g e
Step 9
Draw a 4 x 48 px rectangle (# 423b3b) and place it on the left side of the glass panel. Duplicate the shape
and place the copy on the right side. This will be the stroke.

490 | P a g e
491 | P a g e
Step 10
Using the Pen Tool (P), create diagonal highlights on the glass. There should be a distance of 4 pixels
between the stripes and the outline. Fill the highlights with white and lower the Opacity to 60%.

When finished, select all the elements of the glass panel and group them (Ctrl + G).

492 | P a g e
493 | P a g e
Step 11
Duplicate the upper part of the incubator (Ctrl + C, then Ctrl + F) and drag it down. Then flip the copy
horizontally. To do this, right-click on the shape and select Transform - Reflect - Horizontal .

494 | P a g e
495 | P a g e
Step 12
Remove the center panel and highlight at the bottom. At this point, we'll add a progress bar.

496 | P a g e
Step 13
Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool, create a 24 x 10 px rectangle with a 4 px radius. Fill it with gray (#
423b3b) and place it in the center of the bottom of the incubator.

497 | P a g e
498 | P a g e
Step 14
Draw three 4 x 2 px rectangles and place them 2 px apart in the center of the previous shape. Fill the first
two rectangles with green (# 92db63), and the last with red (# ff6b57).

After that select all three shapes and the dark gray rectangle below them and Group them (Control-G).

499 | P a g e
500 | P a g e
Step 15
Add some highlights and shadows. Group all the elements of the icon together (Ctrl + G).

501 | P a g e
Draw an egg
So we got to the fourth and last icon. Perhaps she is the lightest of all.

Go to the desired layer and zoom in on the document.

Step 1
Take the Ellipse Tool (L) (Oval) and create an 84 x 84 px circle (# f2f0f0). Place it in the lower part at a
distance of 4 pixels from the inner border of the cell.

502 | P a g e
503 | P a g e
Step 2
Adjust the shape of the egg by pulling the top knot with the Direct Selection Tool (A) (Partial Selection) up
24 pixels. To do this, activate the Move Tool (Move) and right-click on the object, select Transform -
Move - Vertical (Transformation - Move - Vertical) and enter -24 pixels.

504 | P a g e
505 | P a g e
Step 3
Finished with the shape of the egg, add a 4 px wide Stroke (# 423b3b) using the Offset Path .

506 | P a g e
Step 4
Add a highlight (white, 40% opacity) on the top of the egg, and a shadow on the bottom (black, 14%
opacity).

507 | P a g e
508 | P a g e
Step 5
Draw some spots. To do this, create two circles (# 9fb77d) and drag on their anchor points to deform a
little. Then add a 4 px wide Stroke (# 423b3b).

Having finished with the spots, group up all the elements of the icon (Ctrl + G).

509 | P a g e

How to Create a Seamless Floral Pattern in
Illustrator
Home • Tutorials • Illustrator Tutorials •How to Create a Seamless Floral Pattern in Illustrator

Difficulty: Easy
Tags: vector light texture

 1,682

555 | P a g e
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a seamless floral crocus pattern using basic Illustrator
tools. Let's start!

How to draw petals and stamens

Step 1
First, we will draw a petal. With the Ellipse Tool (L) (Oval) create an oval and fill it with color R = 113, G
= 20, B = 113. Take the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) (Convert anchor point) and click on the
bottom anchor point of the oval. Then using the Direct Selection Tool (A) (Partial Selection) move the right
and left points a little higher.

Step 2
Now let's draw the bud. Copy and Paste the petal from the previous step to create two additional
petals. Change the color of the copies to R = 101, G = 3, B = 96. Move these petals to the background and
place them under the first one (right-click on the petals and go to Arrange - Send Backward ).

556 | P a g e
Step 3
Now the stamens. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) (Oval) and draw a small oval, then switch to the Rectangle
Tool (M) (Rectangle) and draw a long vertical rectangle. Set the color of these shapes to R = 253, G = 185,
B = 19. Group both layers together (select the objects, right-click on them and select Group ). Create three
more copies of the resulting stamen.

557 | P a g e
Step 4
Place the stamens under the bud from the second step.

Step 5
Duplicate all three petals and place the copy under the stamens. Set the fill color of the duplicate to R = 73,
G = 3, B = 73. Now the bud is completely ready.

558 | P a g e
How to draw the stem and leaves

Step 1
Moving on to the stem. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and draw a long vertical rectangle. Fill it with a two-
color linear gradient from purple (R = 101, G = 3, B = 96) to green (R = 141, G = 139, B = 0). Go to
the Gradient panel and set the angle to -90 degrees. Then set the Location gradient slider to 20%. After
that, place the stem in the background under the bud (right-click on the object and select Arrange - Send to
Back ).

559 | P a g e
Step 2
Now let's draw the leaves. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) (Oval) and draw three elongated ovals. Set the fill
color to R = 163, G = 165, B = 16. Select the first oval and go to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp -
Arc). In the docker, set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to -30%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical
Distortion to -15%.

Then select the second oval and again go to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp - Arc). In the parameters
window, set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to 30%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical Distortion to
15%.

Select the third oval and go to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp - Arc). In the parameters window,
set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to 60%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical Distortion to -15%. Now
the most important thing is to apply Object - Expand Appearance ( Object - Expand appearance).

560 | P a g e
Step 3
Place the leaves on the stem as shown below. Now we have a ready-made flower - a crocus!

561 | P a g e
Draw the second flower

Step 1
Select the entire flower from the previous step and duplicate it. Next, we connect the fantasy! Correct the
leaves a little. For example, you can delete one sheet and leave two as shown below. Select the lightest petal
and change its color to R = 87, G = 2, B = 89. Then select the two side petals and change their color to R =
73, G = 3, B = 73. After that, select the three petals in the background and change their color to R = 50, G =
2, B = 51.

562 | P a g e
How to draw a yellow flower

Step 1
As in the previous step, copy the entire flower. Let's correct the petals. Select the lightest and change its
color to R = 255, G = 242, B = 3. Then select the two side petals and change their color to R = 244, G = 226,
B = 6. After that, select the three dark petals in the background and change their color to R = 232, G = 210,
B = 5. Then select the stamens and change their color to R = 244, G = 123, B = 23. Finally, select the
stem. Go to the Gradient panel and change the purple color to yellow (R = 224, G = 197, B = 3).

563 | P a g e
How to create curves on the flowers

Step 1
Group each flower (right-click on the selected object and select Group ). Select the first flower and go
to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp - Arc). In the parameters window, set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to
-20%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical Distortion to -25%.

Selecting the second flower. Go to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp - Arc). In the parameters window,
set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to 20%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical Distortion to - twenty%.

564 | P a g e
Select the third flower, then go to Effect - Warp - Arc (Effect - Warp - Arc). In the parameters window,
set Arc to Vertical , then Bend to 30%, Horizontal Distortion to 0%, Vertical Distortion to - thirty%.

How to create the background

Step 1
Using the Rectangle Tool (M) (Rectangle), holding down the Shift key, draw a large square exactly the size
of the work area. Set the fill color to R = 247, G = 247, B = 241.

565 | P a g e
Step 2
Copy the flowers and randomly distribute them over the square from the previous step.

566 | P a g e
How to create a seamless pattern

Step 1
Activate the Selection Tool (V) and select all the flowers without the background. We group them. Press the
Enter key to open the Move window . Set the Horizontal Position to 600 pixels, Vertical Position to 0
pixels, Distance to 600 pixels and Angle to 0 degrees. Then click the Copy button .

567 | P a g e
Step 2
Select all the flowers inside the artboard again and hit Enter. In the Move window that appears, set
the Horizontal Position to -600 pixels, Vertical Position to 0 pixels, Distance to 600 pixels and Angle to 0
degrees. Then click the Copy button .

568 | P a g e
Step 3
Once again, select all the flowers inside the artboard and hit Enter. In the Move window that appears, set
the Horizontal Position to 0 pixels, Vertical Position to 600 pixels, Distance to 600 pixels and Angle to
90 degrees ... Then click the Copy button .

569 | P a g e
Step 4
Select all the flowers inside the artboard and hit Enter. In the Move window that appears, set the Horizontal
Position to 0 pixels, Vertical Position to -600 pixels, Distance to 600 pixels and Angle to - 90
degrees. Then click the Copy button .

570 | P a g e
Step 5
Now we need to ungroup all the color groups. Select all the objects (Ctrl + A), right-click on them and
select Ungroup (Ungroup). We delete all flowers that do not cross the background. Your result should be
something like this:

571 | P a g e
Step 6
Group up all the flowers (no background). To do this, select all objects (Ctrl + A), hold down Shift and click
on the background square to deselect it. Now only flowers are selected. We group them.

Duplicate the background (Control + C then Control + F) and bring it in front (Control + X then Control +
F). Without removing the selection from the copy of the background, hold down the Shift key and select the
group with flowers. Then go to the Window Panel - Pathfinder ( Window - Pathfinder ) and click on
the Crop button .

How to Draw a Heart Logo in Illustrator
Home • Tutorials • Illustrator Tutorials •How to Draw a Heart Logo in Illustrator

Difficulty: Easy
Tags: light logo

 2255

In this tutorial, you will learn how to draw a simple heart-shaped logo using basic Illustrator tools.

Step 1
We start by creating a 2560 x 1440 px document.

576 | P a g e
Step 2
Now take the Polygon Tool and create a hexagon as shown below. Fill it with 3D271A color and turn off
the outline.

577 | P a g e
Draw a circle next to the hexagon using the Ellipse Tool (L). Turn off the fill color, set the stroke color to
603913 and the width to 4 pt.

578 | P a g e
Step 4
With the help of the Selection Tool (V) (Selection) select the circle. Activate the Scissors Tool (C) and
click on the side anchor points of the circle to cut it in half.

After that, select the bottom half and delete it by pressing the Delete key.

579 | P a g e
Step 5
Select the resulting semicircle and take the Pen Tool (P). With the pen, click on the lower left anchor point
of the semicircle, draw a line down and towards the center and click with the left button to add another
point. Press Esc to break the path.

Then take the Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C), click on the created line and drag on it to smooth it.

580 | P a g e
Step 6
Select the resulting contour, right-click and select Transform - Reflect (Transformation - Mirror). In the
window that appears, select Vertical and press the Copy button to duplicate the path.

581 | P a g e
582 | P a g e
Step 7
Move the right half to the left to form the heart. Then select both shapes and click on the right half to make
its outline bold. This means that within this group, the figure with a bold outline is the leading one.

Go to the top panel and align the shapes to the bottom edge by clicking on the Vertical Align
Bottom button .

583 | P a g e
Step 8
Open the Window panel - Pathfinder ( Window - Pathfinder ) and merge the two shapes into one.

584 | P a g e
Step 9
Turn off the outline of the resulting heart and fill it with B99C6A.

585 | P a g e
Step 10
Select the heart and the hexagon (we make it the leading figure by clicking on the outline again). Align the
heart to the center of the hexagon.

586 | P a g e
587 | P a g e
Step 11
Activate the Direct Selection Tool (A) and select the hexagon with it. As a result, white dots will appear at
each corner of the shape, by pulling on which we can smooth the corners.

Drag one of the points to slightly smooth out the corners of the hexagon.

Step 12
Take the Pen Tool (P) (Pen) and draw a line from the bottom edge of the heart to the upper left corner of the
hexagon, as shown below. Remove the color fill, set the outline color to white and the width to 4 pt.

588 | P a g e
589 | P a g e
Step 13
Add two more lines.

Step 14
Select the heart and hexagon, go to the Pathfinder panel and click on the Minus Front button .

590 | P a g e
Step 15
Next, select all the objects and click on the Divide button . As a result, we cut the hexagon into pieces, and
the path that we created above served us as the cutting lines.

After this operation, all the parts of the hexagon are in one group, we need to ungroup them. To do this, we
click the right button on the figure and choose the Ungroup (Ungroup).

591 | P a g e
Note! For everything to work out, the white lines should protrude slightly beyond the edges of the hexagon,
and they should also not touch each other.

592 | P a g e
593 | P a g e
Step 16

Cute Linear Icons Set in 20 Minutes in Adobe
Illustrator
March 21, 2016 | Posted in Lessons | 1 Comment "

Today we will learn how to quickly create entire sets of line icons in Adobe
Illustrator using simple shapes and simple tools. With such fun icons, the content will become even cooler and more
colorful. Yes, the icons look pretty cartoonish, but maybe this is exactly what you need now?

Step 1
Let's start by creating a search icon. Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool / Rectangle . This will be the handle of our

magnifying glass (loupe). Now draw two circles using the Ellipse Tool /An ellipse , with one circle to be placed within the

other. Then draw a small rectangle to connect the glass and handle of our magnifier. Place the smaller rectangle under the larger

one and enlarge the circles in the ratio as shown below:

599 | P a g e
Step 2
Choose a fill color and a stroke color. Use the Arc Tool to draw white highlights on the magnifying glass, as well as similar arcs

around the magnifying glass, but in the same color as the glass itself. You can also use Instumenty the Pen / Pen , the Pencil

/ pencil or the Blob the Brush / Blob brush to paint these arcs. Now you need to group everything together using Group /

Group.

Step 3
We changed the color palette and now it can be easily applied to all other icons. Draw arcs, dots, lines, and a question mark

inside your new search icon. This can be done manually or with the Type Tool / Text .

600 | P a g e
Step 4
To get a light bulb, start with two ellipses, one overlapping the other. Use the tool the Pen Tool will / Feather to smooth out

the general outline of two figures and get a light bulb shape. Combine all 4 pieces to the panel the Pathfinder /

Pathfinder . draw a rounded rectangle over the base of the blue bulb.

Step 5
Your light bulb now consists of two rounded rectangles and a pear-shaped ellipse. Draw a schematic of the filament using any

tool of your choice. Do not forget about white reflections - this will make your glass "reflect light" and look more natural. We also

advise you to draw blue "rays" that hint at the brightness of the light bulb. Combine everything with Group / Group.

601 | P a g e
Step 6
Our last icon is a pencil. Draw a long rectangle and with the Pen Tool add an anchor point in the center of the right edge of our

rectangle. Using the Direct Selection Tool /Direct Selection to pull this point outward and get the familiar shape of a

sharpened wooden pencil.

Step 7

602 | P a g e
Draw three lines that define the zones for the eraser, sharpened wood, and lead. 4 Select all the object and select the Divide /

Separation panel the Pathfinder / Pathfinder.

Step 8
Now select each part of your pencil one by one and change its color. For example, the eraser will be pink, the pencil itself will be

yellow, the wood will be white, and the lead will be blue. Draw two horizontal lines to indicate the chamfers at the pencil.

603 | P a g e
Step 9
Cluster together all parts of the pencil and expand by 45% with a tool Rotate / Rotate . Now draw a couple of sloppy lines and

position them under the pencil. You can use any drawing tool on request, and we did it with the help of the Blob the Brush

Tool will / Blob Brush , which is suitable for the line as well.

Result:

Create a Simple Flower in Adobe Illustrator
Rotating an object will rotate it around a fixed point that you specify. The default reference point is the object's center point. If
you have multiple objects in a selection, they will rotate around a single reference point, which is the selection center point or
bounding box by default. To rotate each object around its own center point, use the Transform Each command. But there is
something even easier, namely by using the Rotate Tool. This Rotate Tool has many functions, one of which is in the process
of making flowers, curious how to make it? Let's just go.
First here I will make flower petals using the Ellipse Tool. Then at the top and bottom of the ellipse is drawn so that it becomes
like this. Draw it using the Direct Selection Tool.

Then click the Rotate Tool. Then double click by pressing Alt. So it will appear like the image below. Adjust it according to
the picture. But if you want to adjust according to your tastes and needs, it's not a problem. And when you're done, don't forget
to click OK.

So the result will be like this.

636 | P a g e
We just have to give the color here, to make it more beautiful, use a gradient color. Here I use blue and white. The results are
beautiful, my friends.

Create Unique Round Objects with Adobe Illustrator
Distort & Transform: Brings changes to each object.
Throughout your design process, you are constantly making changes to your artwork. Sometimes, you need to change path
paths by distorting them and other times you need to change them using functions like Scale or Rotate. Illustrator displays
these functions as Live Effects, which makes it easy to go back and make adjustments or changes to these settings if needed.
Distortion Effects in Illustrator features six different distortion effects, each giving a different kind of look and feel. Distortion
effects are especially useful when applied to individual strokes or fills, and this is especially true when you are building a
complex view that contains many fills and strokes. You can find each of the effects listed here by selecting Effect > Distort &
Transform first, then by selecting one of the distortion effects.
Efek Transform
If you want to rotate or scale objects on your artboard, using the Transform effect is overkill. On the other hand, the Transform
effect is useful when you want to apply a transformation to parts of an object. For example, you can scale two different fills in
the same object so that they are different sizes. To do so, apply the Transform effect, choose Effect > Distort & Transform >
Transform. Let's just practice how to use Transform.
First here I create an object by creating it using the ellipse tool. Here I only use a white stroke color, don't use a fill color.

Then in the stroke options set like the settings below. Adjust it until it produces the same end result.

639 | P a g e
So the result will be like this.

Kemudian klik menu effect > Distort & transfrom > transfrom.

Settings will appear as shown below. Adjust it to get the same end result, but if you want to try something else, that's not a
problem. But don't forget to click OK when you're done.

640 | P a g e
So the result will be like this. The result is beautiful like a globe.

641 | P a g e
Creating Quotes in Adobe Illustrator
What is that design? Society interprets design as a sketch, painting, packaging. Some of them regard it as a product of cameras,
phones, sofas, and chairs. It's true, but the design goes beyond that. In fact, the design is broad.
Have you seen a beautiful house? It is the result of good design. Software or Application? Both are also examples of
design. Questionnaires, organizational hierarchies, or even business structures? It's also design. To get the same idea of what
design really is, let's look at design from the same perspective as creating a quote design. Let's just go.
First, here I download a background that has a scenic feel.

Then I blur the background by clicking Effect menu > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

Then provide text using the Type Tool. The font type used is Thunder Font and the colors used are blue and green.

642 | P a g e
Then I give a decoration by making it using the ellipse tool. Then click the Effect menu > Distort & Transform > Pucker &
Bload. So the result will be like this.

643 | P a g e
Create Long Shadows in Adobe Illustrator
In graphic design and computer graphics, a drop shadow is a visual effect consisting of image elements that resemble the
shadow of an object, giving the impression that the object is raised above the object behind it. Drop shadows are often used for
graphical user interface elements such as windows or menus, and for simple text. Text labels for icons on desktops in many
desktop environments have drop shadows, because this effect effectively distinguishes text from any colored background that
may be in front of it.
There are various types of shadows, but here I want to make one of them to make a long shadow. Curious how to make it? Let's
just go.
First here I create a text using the Type Tool. The font type used is Raleway Black.

In the text section, click the Edit menu > Copy. Then click the Effect menu > Distort & Transform > Transform.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. Set according to the image below if you want the same final result and don't
forget to click Ok when you're done.

644 | P a g e
So the result will be like this for the long shadow.

Then click the Edit menu> Paste so that the end result will be like this.

Create Cloud Shapes in Adobe Illustrator
What is Shape?
In geometry, a shape can be defined as the shape of an object or its outline, outer boundary, or outer surface.
Everything we see in the world around us has a form. We can find various basic shapes such as squares, rectangles, and ovals
or rectangular prisms, cylinders, and spheres in the objects we see around us. These geometric shapes appear in objects we see
as credit cards, notes and coins, finger rings, picture frames, dartboards, huts, windows, magic wands, tall buildings, flower
pots, toy trains, and balloons. There are many forms that cannot be listed one by one.
But here I want to try to share tips and tricks on how to create a cloud shape in Adobe Illustrator. Maybe if we use Adobe
Photoshop the shape is already provided or we can download it, but if we use Adobe Illustrator we have to make it
ourselves. Curious how to make it? Let's just go.
First here is the Ellipse Tool used. I made using white color, because clouds are identical to white color and the background
used is blue.

Then create many round objects with different sizes, then adjust the pattern so that it becomes a cloud shape as shown below.

To become an object here use pathfinder> unite so that all the shapes that have been created will merge into one.

So the result will be like this.

Creating an Owl Logo in Illustrator
Logos are meant to visually identify the company. The logo can contain the company name or simply a visual
representation. The company logo is most often affixed to any association with it: on products it sells, on advertisements, on
sponsorship deals, or on donations to charity. Logos are meant to quickly and attract individual attention to the company.
While logos aim to deliver instant brand recognition, some cleverly maintain a hidden message that only eagle-eyed consumers
can see.
Logos have become an integral part of a company's brand identity. A widely and instantly recognizable logo is a valuable
intangible asset to a company and thus a trademark for intellectual property protection in most situations. There are many
versions of the logo, whether it's just an icon image, text or even just an initial element. Here I want to create a logo depicting
an owl. Curious how to make it? Let's just go.
First here I make owl eyebrows using the pen tool. Here I use black, well, to be identical with a spooky owl.

Continue to make the eyes using the ellipse tool as shown below.

Still using the ellipse tool here I made it black and white for the eyeball.

649 | P a g e
Then select the eyebrows and eyes then right click > reflect > copy. Then in the middle give a picture of the nose made using
the pen tool.

Making Text More Interesting in Illustrator
At a basic level, typography is an art that involves structuring typefaces in various combinations of fonts, sizes, and spacing. In
this way, a wide variety of designs including website designs, brochure designs, print designs, books, and computer graphics,
etc. Rely on skillful use of typography to make an impact.
Graphic designers use typography to match text within a design. It helps in creating content with a purpose. The planned use of
typography allows the designers to make the designs look aesthetically pleasing and pleasing.
Designers have used typography strategically to make the text readable and also to impress the viewer. Due to the design with
unique typographic ideas, a brand can communicate with its audience effectively.
Typography allows designers to create visuals for brands. Graphic designers consider several crucial things when using
typography. They make wise decisions about font choice, size, body text, spacing, placement, and many other aspects of
typeface use. For an ordinary type of font, it is normal, but here I will make a font that is far extraordinary. Curious? Let's just
go.
First here I create a text using the Type Tool. The type of font I use is Raleway Black Italic.

Then here click the Effect menu > Distort & Transform > Transform.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. If you want to produce the same end result, the settings can be the same. But if
you want to be different, you can adjust it to your taste buds. When you have finished setting it, don't forget to click OK.

651 | P a g e
So the result will be like this.

Then I will make it look like it was slashed by a knife made using the pen tool. With white and black, the pattern is arranged as
shown below.

Creating a Holiday Poster in Illustrator
Aposter is a temporary promotion of an idea, product, or event that is posted in a public space for mass consumption. [1]
Typically, posters include both textual and graphic elements, although posters can be either all or all text. Posters are designed
to be interesting and informative. Posters can be used for many purposes. They are often a tool for advertisers (especially
shows, musicians, and films), propagandists, protestors, and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also
used for the reproduction of works of art, especially famous works, and are generally cheaper than the original
artwork. Modern posters, as we know them, date back to the 1840s and 1850s when the printing industry perfected color
lithography and made mass production possible. Because here is still a holiday atmosphere.
First here I make a sentence using the Type Tool. The fonts used are Raleway Bold and Brannball. The fill color used is white,
because the background used is orange.

Then search the internet for png images. Why should png because it will make it easier and not waste time to select it, so if you
use png images can be combined immediately. Search for glasses png images, beach ball, beach sand, and starfish. Combine
into one so that it becomes like this.

So the end result will be like this.

Create a Shade of Gray Image in Adobe Illustrator
Shade of Gray refers to a collection of colors or color schemes consisting of repeating shades of gray scattered in other colors
of the same kind. Basically a range of different shades of gray with different densities and speeds spread across a spectrum of
neutral colors. There are a few downsides to using Illustrator as an image editing tool. But you must learn to overcome those
weaknesses and create a better picture of what you are trying to create.
So here I will use Adobe Illustrator to edit the image into a shade of gray.
First here I have a picture that I want to change the color of the picture to gray.

By means of image selection, pay attention to the top properties select Image Trace > Black and White Logo.

And it quickly immediately turned gray.

How to Automatically Show Printer Marks in Illustrator
When you prepare artwork for printing, a number of marks are required for the printer device to properly register the artwork
elements and verify correct colors. You can add the following types of printer markings to your artwork:
Trim Marks
Fine horizontal and vertical rules (hairlines) that determine where the page should be trimmed. Trim marks can also help
register (align) one color separation to another.
Registration Marks
Small targets outside the page area to align different separations in a color document.
Color Bars
Small squares of color representing CMYK ink and grays (in 10% increments). Your service provider uses this mark to adjust
the ink density of the printer.
Page Information
Label the film with the name of the artboard number, time and date of printing, screen line used, screen angle for separation,
and the color of each specific plate. This label appears at the top of the image. For more details, let's consider the following
steps.
First here I have a raw Adobe Illustrator file which I want to save using Print Marks.

Click the File menu > Save As.

Then select the PDF format > save.

657 | P a g e
Then the settings will appear as shown below, In the Marks and Bleeds section. Then check the Marks section as shown below,

Creating a Blur Effect on a Stroke in Illustrator
by Indah Puspitasari | Jul 8, 2021 | Illustrator | 0 comments
Gaussian Blur is just one of several types of blur filters available in Photoshop and Illustrator. This is one of the easier-to-
understand blur filters because everything in the image is evenly blurred and also offers a greater level of control than some
blur filters with just one click.
Maybe if you make an object blur using gaussian blur in adobe photoshop, it's normal. But what about blurring objects using
Adobe Illustrator? It's very easy for me. Let's just pay attention to the following steps:
First here click the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.

Creating Geometric Patterns in Illustrator
The pattern feature is a great tool that is easy for entry-level Adobe Illustrator users to master. Just click on the object (shape,
text or graphic) and navigate to Object > Pattern > Make. A new panel will then appear within the artboard.
The best thing about this tool is the ability to see your changes quickly. Playing around with options can give you great results.
Want to save your pattern and save it? Good! To do this go to the top of the artboard, here you will see a bar then allow you to
click 'finish' which saves the current pattern or 'save a copy' which allows you to save the current pattern, but leaves you in
pattern editing mode so you can keep designing. The last option is 'cancel' which as you might expect… lets you exit pattern
editing mode. For more details, please see the tutorial below.
First we create a geometry object. We remove the fill color and only use a stroke color which is a gradient color.

Then click Effect menu > Distort & Transform > Transform.

Then set it according to the settings below, if you want to produce the same result, but it can be adjusted to your taste
buds. When finished, don't forget to click OK.

Converting 2D Text to 3D in Illustrator
All the effects in Adobe Illustrator are great, but the 3D features are even better. Not only can you add dimension by using 3D
effects but also map artwork (wrapping artwork around 3D objects) and apply lighting to 3D objects. You can then design a
label for a jelly jar, for example, and attach it to the jar to show the client.
There are three options for the 3D effect:
Extrude & Bevel: Uses the z-axis to extrude an object. For example, a square becomes a cube.
Rotate: Use the z-axis and rotate the shape around it. You can use this option to turn the bow into a ball.
Rotate: Rotate a 3D object created using the Extrude & Bevel or Revolve effect or rotate a 2D object in 3D space. You can also
adjust the perspective of 3D or 2D objects.
To apply a 3D effect, you need to create an object suitable for the 3D effect. The Extrude & Bevel feature works well with
shapes and text. If you want to edit an object that already has a 3D effect applied to it, double-click the 3D effect in the
Appearance panel.
Well this time I will make text from 2D to 3D, but not using Extrude & Bevel, but using the Blend Tool. Wow, is it
possible? Oh of course you can. Let's just take a look.
First here I create text using the Type Tool. The font type I use is Raleway Black Italic.

Then click the Object menu> Expand.

Then the Text is transfrom and then set so that it becomes like this level of slope.

671 | P a g e
Continue Copy > Paste into 2 parts above and below as shown below. For the very top I gave a slightly lighter blue color, while
for the bottom I gave the darkest or darkest blue.

Next to make it 3D we click the menu Object> Blend> Make.

So this is the result. It can be seen that the distance is still too far, friends. Well to make the distance closer we can set.

672 | P a g e
By clicking the menu Object> Blend> Blend Options.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. The more steps we use the closer the distance will be. When finished, don't
forget to click OK.

So the result will be like this.

Creating Simple Typography in Illustrator
What exactly is typography? In essence, typography is the art of arranging letters and text in a way that makes the copy legible,
clear, and visually appealing to the reader. Typography involves font style, appearance, and structure, which aim to evoke
certain emotions and convey certain messages. In short, typography is what brings text to life. Typography could date back to
the 11th century, during the innovation of mobile type. Before the digital age, typography was a specialized craft associated
with books and magazines, and eventually general work. The first examples of typography can be seen in the Gutenberg Bible,
which started the typographic revolution in the west. Fun fact: the typeface used in the Gutenberg Bible is now known as
Textura, and you'll find it in the font drop-down menu of the main desktop app today!
Fast forward to modern times, where typography is mostly associated with the digital and print worlds. With the birth of the
internet came the creative explosion of the art of typography. Suddenly, web designers have tons of fonts and type options at
their disposal, making typography more visually diverse than ever before. So that's a little discussion about typography. For
more details, here I will practice making typography quickly and easily. Let's just go.
First here I create a text using the type tool. The font type used is Raleway Black. For colors, you can use any color, but here I
want to use bright colors like blue.

After that copy > paste. Then the fill color is turned off and the stroke color is turned on, still using the blue font.

Then on the second object, give a rectangular object half the size of the text as shown below. Then select both right click and
select Create Clipping Mask.

So the result will be like this. Then copy > paste for the top and bottom to make it interesting as shown below.

Isometric 3D Text di Illustrator
Objects in 3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Unlike rendered images, model data is contained in a
graphical data file. A 3D model is a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object; a model is not technically a
graph until it is displayed. A model can be visually displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D
rendering, or it can be used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations. With 3D printing, models are rendered
into actual 3D physical representations of themselves, with some limitations on how accurately physical models can match
virtual models. So in this tutorial I will create 3D Isometrics. Curious how to make it? Let's just go.
First create text with the type tool. For text, it's up to you what words or text you want to use.

Kemudian klik menu effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. In the Position > Isometric Top section and if it is finished, don't forget to click
OK.

676 | P a g e
Until the text that was only 2D changed to 3D.

Kemudian klik menu object > Expand Appearance.

After that right click > ungroup > then change the color according to your taste, friends. So the result will be like this.

Changing Corner Shapes in Adobe Illustrator
What Can You Do With Illustrator?
Many people are intimidated by Adobe Illustrator because they believe they have no artistic skills. If you can't draw on paper,
what makes you think you can draw on a computer? While this self-doubt is definitely not the right way to look at things,
Adobe Illustrator doesn't really require any prior knowledge of drawing or painting. You can use this program to create
freehand drawings, but you can also import photos and use them as guides to trace and recolor a specific subject – turning it
into a work of art that looks as if you drew it by hand. Not only that, there are lots of tools that will help us to make it easier in
terms of designing. One of them is the shape tool. So here I want to tell you how to create or change the corners of a shape in
Adobe Illustrator. Let's just go.
First here I create a box object using the rectangle tool.

Then use direct selection, then click on the corner twice. Then the settings will appear as shown below. Set and select what
angle you want, when it's finished don't forget to click OK.

So the result will be like this.

Creating an Ocean Ripple Effect in Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop is one of the adobe that is very often used because it is used for editing images, manipulating images and all
sorts of things. Adobe Photoshop has filters that are very helpful for editing images or photos. Adobe Photoshop filter is a
facility provided by the Photoshop bitmap image processing application to give certain effects to bitmap image objects so that
the resulting image design will be more alive. With the effect of the bitmap image design filter created, it will be
special. Therefore, considering this filter facility is very important in processing bitmap images. There are so many filters in
Adobe Photoshop, one of which is the Distort Filter. What is Distort Filter? Filter Distort is one of the features on the Filter
menu in Adobe Photoshop that serves to randomize or distort images with a certain regularity. This type of distort filter
produces a geometric distortion effect, a three-dimensional effect or a reshaping effect in an image. One of the filter effects in
Adobe Photoshop is Ocean Ripple. So, let's just put it into practice.
First here I have an image that I want to give the Ocean Ripple effect. Actually this effect can also be created in Adobe
Photoshop, well, but I want to make it in Adobe Illustrator

Kemudian klik menu Effect > Brush Strokes > Accented Edges.

Then a panel will appear as shown below. Choose Distort > Ocean Ripple. Set the Ripple Size and when it's finished don't
forget to click OK.

681 | P a g e
So the result will be like this.

Creating a Pattern Brush in Adobe Illustrator
This time we will discuss about how to create and set up Brushes in Adobe Illustrator. Along with the development of adobe
illustrator technology, more and more features are developed in adobe illustrator. The new feature is the "Width Profile" where
there are several options to get the desired results. Curious how? Let's just go ahead.
First here I make 3 rectangular objects made using the rectangle tool. The color used is black, and neatly arranged like this.

Then open the brush panel on the right. But if it doesn't exist, you can click the windows menu > brush to bring up the panel.

Then select the object, then drag it into the brush panel, so a panel like the image below will appear. Set it according to the
picture if you want to produce the same final result, but again it can be adjusted to your needs and tastes and when it's finished
don't forget to click OK. After clicking ok will appear in the brush panel.

683 | P a g e
Then create another round object using the ellipse tool.

Then replace the stroke using the brush that was made earlier.

To make it even more interesting, we copy > paste into several parts so that the result will be like this.

684 | P a g e
And don't forget to click the eye image (see number 1) on the first text, and activate both text layers by using
"Shift+left click" in the image, and change the color to black or something else.

Continue to the next step, pay attention to number 1, activate the 2nd text layer (only 1 is activated). then drag
the text down to the right. If you want to make the shadow up, please drag the text up, so the second text
determines where the shadow goes.

Creating a Logo With Adobe Illustrator
Posted by Muhamad Zarkasih Heriyana on December 4, 2013

Posted in: Illustrator , Tutorials . 59 Comments

We start this tutorial with "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim", hopefully it will be a good start.

It's been a long time since I've made a tutorial, because I'm busy with college, so I have to be smart to save time. on this
occasion I took the time to make a special tutorial for all of you who need it. Moreover, this tutorial is a request from my fb
friend, even though he has not met me, I'm sure he is very enthusiastic about my blog.

Yes ... without further ado, let's start this tutorial..

The title that I will bring this time is "Creating a Logo With Adobe Illustrator"

As usual I will show the final result first.

The final result

STEP 1

686 | P a g e
As usual, open your Adobe Illustrator application program.

STEP 2

Create a triangular shape using the “Star Tool”. Click once in any place, a PopUp setting will appear to set how many points
we will need. In the "Point" dialog box, fill in the point with 3. For more details, see the image below.

STEP 3

Now while holding down the “Shift” key on the keyboard, then click and drag down. The function of the " Shift " key here is to
make the value of the length and width of the object the same, between the angles of one another.

687 | P a g e
STEP 4

Using the "Ellipse Tool" create a circle object, the method is the same as step 3 while holding down the "Shift" key and
dragging from top to bottom. Then position the circle object right in the middle of the triangle object.

STEP 5

688 | P a g e
Select the two objects between the triangle object and the circle object by pressing the " Shift " key and clicking the objects
one by one, or in another way, by clicking and holding from top to bottom so that both objects are selected. After that merge
the two objects with " Pathfinder " and select " Unite ". If the pathfinder tool menu doesn't exist yet, you can display it on
the Windows>>Pathfinder menu or with the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F9.

STEP 6

Next, make a circle again with the " Ellipse Tool ".

689 | P a g e
STEP 7

Copy and Paste the circle object, before you copy the object you need to know that there are several ways to copy and paste
in Adobe Illustrator, which I will discuss this time, namely copy and paste via a keyboard shortcut.

1. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V


2. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F

Both methods are essentially the same, duplicating objects. The difference is the placement, when we use the Ctrl + C and
Ctrl + V commands, the results of the duplicate objects that we produce will be very messy, basically the results of the
duplicates are stored anywhere. Unlike the Ctrl + C and Ctrl + F commands, the duplicate results obtained will remain there as
well as in the position we copied. I hope you understand what I'm talking about.

Back to the tutorial, Copy and Paste the circle object by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F.

690 | P a g e
STEP 8

Now we are going to create a text with a circle flow. Click "Type on a Path Toll" and save the Cursor on the circle object. And
start typing a text you want.

STEP 9

Adjust between the font style and font size you want. Set the three points that rise to the top. And the second point (in the
middle) try to be right in the middle of the circle. See the image below.

STEP 10

Copy and Paste the text that we have created, by means of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F. And adjust the position and point as shown
below.

691 | P a g e
STEP 11

The next step we will fix the inverted text, so that the position of the text is not upside down. By clicking the Type menu>>Type
on a Path>> then select Type on a Path Option...

STEP 12

Adjust the settings as shown below. If you don't like it, you can arrange it yourself.

692 | P a g e
STEP 13

The next stage is to make two star objects, using the "Star Tool" create two star objects, change the points to 5. And place
them as shown below.

STEP 14

Next we create a line and a small circle object. And place it according to the image below.

693 | P a g e
STEP 15

Copy and paste the two objects twice between the line object and the small circle object. And position the two objects as
shown below.

STEP 16

Now create a small circle object that will circle the text. Use the “Ellipse Tool” and make a small circle. Next stay the settings,
give the circle a stroke with a size of 8pt, and leave the circle without using color. After that set the stroke tool menu as shown
below.

694 | P a g e
STEP 17

Copy and paste the circular object using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F. Change the outline / stroke and position it as shown below.

STEP 18

Next is to make a circle object again, or copy and paste an existing circle object by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+F. And position it like the
following image.

695 | P a g e
STEP 18

Set the outline / stroke on the stroke menu. See the image below to clarify.

STEP 19

Create a line that rises upwards, and change the line setting to taper. After finishing making the taper then copy and paste the
object and position the object as shown below.

696 | P a g e
Finished…

You can create logo colors, stroke colors, font styles, and others. As follows.

Tutorial to Create a Music Character Logo in
Illustrator
digitalstudio41January 12, 20211Comments440Views

In this tutorial we will create a simple face character of a cute smiling girl
while listening to music on wireless headphones. We'll be using basic objects
and Stroke settings to depict a cute music character logo in a trendy flat
design style. It can be easily customized to suit your needs and used as an
avatar or for your personal branding design!

Step 1
Let's activate the Rectangle Tool (M) and start by creating the head from a 195 x 250
px rectangle .

710 | P a g e
Take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and select all the rectangle anchor points. Drag the
circle marker from the Live Corner (in one corner) to the center, making the shape
round. You can also control the Corners value manually by typing the desired number in
the control panel at the top.
Set the Fill color to a skin color of your choice and set the Stroke color to dark brown
in the Color panel .
Then open the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke) and set the Thickness to 5 pt,
Cap to Round Cap, Corner to Round Joint.

Step 2
Now we are going to make hair from the music character logo. Select the head shape we
made in the previous step, Copy it (Control-C) and Paste in Front (Control-F). Set
the Scale of the object, then make the object bigger than the head.
Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the three anchor points, marked in the image
below. With the bullet selected, press the Delete key ( Backspace on a Mac) to
delete the bottom part of the object.

711 | P a g e
Change the Fill hair color to your favorite bright color. Press Control-J to close the
path or go to Object > Path > Join.
I thought it would look more interesting with thicker lines, so I changed the Stroke
Weight to 8 pt.
You can use the Align function above or open the Align panel (Window > Align) to
check that everything is positioned correctly by pressing Horizontal Align
Center and Vertical Align Center.

712 | P a g e
Step 3
Activate the Ellipse Tool (L) and let's create the eyes. Make a 35 x 35 px circle with a
dark brown Stroke and n o Fill.
Select its bottom anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and Delete it. This
way we only have the upper part of the object left, forming the eye as if it were closed.
Select the object with the Selection Tool (V), hold down Alt-Shift and drag it to the
opposite side of the face, to create a second eye.
We can Group (Control-G) both eyes and use the Horizontal Align Center function again
to center the object perfectly.

713 | P a g e
Step 4
Add a semicircle for the mouth using the same method as described in the previous step.
Create a 25 x 25 px light pink circle with no Stroke for the nose and move its anchor
points up, using the Direct Selection Tool (A).

714 | P a g e
Step 5
Let's add some details to the hair. I used the Line Segment Tool(\) to add a vertical line to
the bangs. Vary the length of each line to make it look more interesting.

715 | P a g e
716 | P a g e
Create 3D Text in Adobe Illustrator
Humans can see spatial relationships between objects just by looking at them because we have 3D perception, which is also
known as depth perception. When we look around, the retina in each eye forms a two-dimensional image of our environment
and our brain processes these two images into 3D visuals. Three dimensions, namely something that has width, height and
depth (length). Our physical environment is three-dimensional and we move in 3D every day. This time we will create text
using a 3D effect. Let's just go.

First here I create an artboard with a size of 300 px x 300 px.

Then we will provide text, the font type used by Monstreeta and the color used is orange.

Kemudian klik menu Window > Graphic Style Labiries > 3D Effects.

717 | P a g e
Then the settings will appear as shown below. Select a 3D effect that you want to use.

One of them is like this.

Then give the text again with the words discount.

718 | P a g e
Then so that the background is not too empty, I use the rounded rectangle tool. So the result will be like this.

719 | P a g e
How to Create a Dotted Line in Illustrator
As the tool name implies, the Line tool and the Ellipse tool create line and arc segments. As you learned in the previous
exercise, the Pen tool can also create lines and arcs. However, unlike line and arc segments that can be created with the Pen
tool, each new line or arc is separate and unique from the previous one. Actually, the tools in Adobe Illustrator will definitely
help us to make it easier to design, one of which is the line tool. The line tool is not only straight, it can be made curved, zig-
zag, semicircular, and much more. But what needs to be considered is the shape of the line is only straight, can it be broken, or
can it be round or something else? Well, I'm definitely curious. Actually we can make it a dotted line, round or we can even
change it into an animal shape, or other scratches. Curious how to make it? right away.
Maybe friends already know a lot about how to make lines, whether it's made using the brush tool, pen tool, line tool and many
more. But do you know how to make the straight line into a dotted line or what is commonly called a dash. Let me just tell you
how.
First here I make a line using the pen tool. For the shape of the line, you want to make a straight line, curved or whatever, it's
free, friends, adjust to your taste buds.

Then pay attention to the properties section, click on the stoke so that the settings will appear as shown below. Check the
Dashed Line section and set it below.

So that the connecting straight line will turn into a dashed line.

Turning Illustrations into 3D in Adobe Illustrator
In this tutorial we will learn how to model vector objects in Adobe Illustrator with the help of Revolve, Extrude & Bevel and
Rotate effects. Then we will apply the symbols to the 3D model and make it ready for our next work.
In my practice, I often use 3D effects for icon creation. The image below shows some examples of work, of which 3D
modeling is the first step in creating it. In the 3D effect there are several options, but this time I'm going to use the Extrude &
Bevel Effect.
What is the Extrude & Bevel Effect? This effect is designed for object extrusion. Create some text with the help of the Type
Tool (T) (the effect can be applied to any vector object).
First here I have to make an illustration image that I want to make into 3D to make it look more real and nice. For this first
step, you can make your own or you can also take an existing vector image. It can be adjusted, my friends.

Select the created path, and then go to Effect > 3D > Revolve… which leads to the opening of a dialog box with effect
parameters. All 3D effects share similar features, which is why we'll take a closer look at the Revolve example. Check the
preview option to be able to observe the changes.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. We have the Extrude Depth parameter to control the extrusion depth. You can
also apply multiple tilts and choose a shape from the preset list. Over the years of practice, I have never used this
parameter. Who knows, you might find it useful. All other parameters of this effect are identical to those of Revolve 3D. I just
want to underline, if the Extrude & Bevel effect is used on the text, the text can still be edited differently if we use images. If
you have finished setting, don't forget to click OK.

722 | P a g e
So the result will be like this.

How to Separate Letters Without Creating One Unity in
Illustrator
Every day and everywhere, you are surrounded by letters and written messages. From logos to posters, billboards, t-shirts or
book covers, letters not only tell a story but also evoke certain emotions. What if, instead of using an existing font, you could
draw a beautiful handwriting full of personality?
handlettered design by Mky by
Andrea Stan aka Mky
Even if you've dived into the infinite world of handwriting, or you've been thinking about giving it a try but not sure where to
start, you're at the right place! We'll take a look at the essentials you need to get started on this amazing handwriting journey.
I've been handwriting for over a year, and it all started when a weekly challenge popped up on Instagram and I decided to sign
up. I've played around with calligraphy before, but I'm not really sure what the difference is between it and handwriting. I have
no experience, never took classes, never seen anyone do it in person. I just thought it would be fun — and it was! Since then,
I've been writing almost every day, and learning this skill was one of the best things I've ever done!
Many people out there are confused by handwriting, calligraphy, typesetting and type design and use the terms “type” or
“typography” to refer to any of these. How do I make the letters in a word or sentence separate one by one to make it look
much more manageable? Let's go right now
Here I make a word consisting of two letters. But I want to separate but do not want to recreate one by one. It's very easy.

Right click on the text and select Create Outlines.

Then continue right click and select Ungroup.

724 | P a g e
So that the words that have been made earlier can be separated one by one.

How to Combine Text Colors in Adobe Illustrator
Typography is everywhere. When you see a poster, brochure, logo, website, or anything else that has text, to a lesser or greater
degree, it involves the use of typography.
In today's competitive business environment, brands must create their distinctive identity. They must grab the attention of the
target customers to convey the brand message. To make this happen, graphic designers use typography as a powerful tool to
turn text into impactful visuals.
This ultimately results in brand recognition. The skillful use of typography gives unique shape to the text in the design and
places the letters in such a way that they impress the viewer.
So, we can say that the strategic use of typography is key to making a brand, especially if it is an aspiring startup, standing out
in its niche. These design elements make logos, websites, etc., marketing tools look different. But the use of typography is not
the sole prerogative of designers. In addition to designers, artists also make typography art to make funny characters using
letters in various ways.
But what if typography is combined with color? Curious what the end result will be? Let's just go.
Here I create a text using the type tool. The type of font used is Raleway and the color of the font used is black. The color and
type of font can be adjusted according to the wishes and needs of friends.

Then Copy> Paste text. Then select the Object menu> Expand.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. When finished then click OK.

726 | P a g e
Then we change the color, here I use one black color and one red color, for the text that I rotate the back so that it looks like
this.

Then in Transparency, change the blendmode to Difference. If there is no transparency in Adobe Illustrator, you can go to the
Windows menu > Transparency.

So the result will be like this.

How to Make Text Appropriate to Object Shape in Illustrator
Our favorite things are not made by accident. You can see objects everywhere around you: a cup, a lamp, a chair, a cell phone,
or a laptop you may be using to read this. Design can refer to many things, but one definition of object design includes both the
generative process and the final product.
Meskipun estetika mereka mungkin menjadi dasar daya tarik mereka, objek dapat berfungsi sebagai solusi yang diekspresikan
untuk masalah dunia nyata. Pola desain yang sukses diukur dari kegunaannya dan seberapa baik pola tersebut diserap ke dalam
kehidupan sehari-hari. Untuk perancang objek, pendekatan mereka diarahkan tergantung pada aspek fokus, seperti bentuk,
fungsi, atau bahan. Nah semua objek diatas itu bisa kita gunakan atau buat di Adobe Illustrator, dan objek – objek seperti itu
sudah tidak asing lagi bukan bagi kita ? Namun bagaimana jika text berbentuk objek yang kita inginkan? Memangnya bisa? Oh
tentu bisa. Penasaran bagaimana cara menggunakannya. Yuk langsung saja kita perhatikan yah.
Pertama disini saya membuat sebuah objek bulat dengan ellipse tool. Untuk warna bebas yah, karena kita tidak akan memakai
atau terlalu fokus pada warna.

Then create the next object using the rectangle tool.

Then select both objects, then we use pathfinder > Merge.

728 | P a g e
So the result will be like this. Creates a new object by echoing both objects.

The next step is to create a text using the type tool. The type of font used is raleway and the color of the font used is black.

Then select the object and text simultaneously. Then select object > Envlop Distort > Make with Top Object.

729 | P a g e
Then after that the text will enter the object that has been created. So the result will be like this.

730 | P a g e
Create a Text Warp in Adobe Illustrator
Bending or changing a design to fit a specific shape is a tool commonly used in Illustrator to create the illusion of movement or
fluidity that is commonly created using text warp. The effect is achieved with a tool called envelope distortion, which basically
requires merging one object of either text or shape to fit the shape of another object. Below, you can see some applications of
envelope distortion. The first bends the image of concentric circles like a bullseyeque into a freeform. The second distorts the
word “love” to fit the heart; the third used a similar technique to make the word “awesome” fit into a column of spheres giving
it an almost three-dimensional appearance.

Make Sales Letters More Interesting in Illustrator
Be it on our phones, in books or on websites, we are constantly digesting the written word. From instruction booklets to store
fronts, all types are all around us. We often reflect on the power of the written word, but we rarely consider the designer's role
in imitating the tone of a word or sentence.
Behind the scenes, a designer takes the time to consider the relationship between the appearance of the text and what the text
says. In reality, different moods, atmospheres, and emotions can be expressed only through the choice of type. But what
exactly is typography and why is it so important?
In this article, we will discuss about typography to make it even more interesting. We'll start with typographic definitions and
then make the text even more interesting.
What is typography?
Let's start with the basics: what exactly is typography? In essence, typography is the art of arranging letters and text in a way
that makes the copy legible, clear, and visually appealing to the reader. Typography involves font style, appearance, and
structure, which aim to evoke certain emotions and convey certain messages. In short, typography is what brings text to
life. and what if we could make the text even more interesting? Let's just go.

and select Make Clipping Mask.

Changing the Color of the Balloons in Illustrator
Color is an element consisting of hue, in which there are three properties of hue, chroma or intensity, and value. Color is
present when light strikes an object and is reflected back into the eye, a reaction to hue that is generated in the optic nerve. The
first property is hue, which is a distinguishable color, such as red, blue or yellow. The next property is value, which means the
lightness or darkness of the hue. The latter is chroma or intensity, which distinguishes between strong and weak colors. A
visual representation of the chromatic scale can be observed through a color wheel that uses primary colors. So this tutorial I
will also deal with color, let's just be curious.

Poster is a temporary promotion of an idea, product, or event that is posted in a public space for mass consumption. Typically,
posters include both textual and graphic elements, although posters can be either all or all text. Posters are designed to be

the reproduction of works of art, especially famous works, and are generally cheaper than the original artwork. Modern posters,

Creating a Color Table in Adboe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is not a word processing or desktop program and is not designed for creating tables the way you would in
Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign. Therefore, you cannot create tables that manipulate data or automatically adjust to
text. However, with a little extra effort, you can use the split into grid feature in Adobe Illustrator which can make it easier for
friends to create tables. Okay, let's just go straight, let's see how to make it, let's see the following tips and tricks.
Here I create a box using the rectangle tool. I didn't use a fill color, I just used a white stroke color.

Continue to select the box object, then select the object menu > path > split into grid.

Then the settings will appear as shown below. For that column, you can adjust it to what you need, if you have finished setting
it, don't forget to click OK.

800 | P a g e
Then the original box will turn into a small box like this table.

Then continue to change the color at the top, so that the table looks much more attractive.

Converting JPEG Images Into Vector
What is a JPEG File? JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group”. This is the standard image format for containing
lost and compressed image data. Despite the large reduction in file size, JPEG images retain reasonable image quality. This
unique compression feature allows JPEG files to be widely used on the Internet, Computers, and Mobile Devices. Sharing
JPEG images is fast and efficient. Also, a large number of JPEG image files can be stored in minimum storage space. JPEG
files can also contain high-quality image data with lossless compression. In PaintShop Pro JPEG is a commonly used format
for saving edited images. Whereas vectors are one of the most satisfying and interesting creative outcomes – once you learn the
basics, pure enjoyment, play with shapes and colors and if you zoom in or out it won't break. This article will explain how to
convert a JPEG image into a VECTOR.
Here I have a JPEG image that I want to convert to vector. Insert the image into Adobe Illustrator.

Then above the properties section, please click Image Trace, but if you want to choose another option, please click the arrow
next to Image Trace, then an option like the image below will appear, you can choose whichever one suits your taste.

If you have finished selecting, look again at the properties section and then click Expand.

Now quickly the JPEG image was immediately turned into a vector and we can separate it by right-clicking> ungroup.

808 | P a g e
Once in the ungroup we can change the position and even color at once.

Create a 3D Triangle Shape in Adobe Illustrator
Well friends, at the meeting here, we have learned to make 3D shapes in Adobe Illustrator, yes, and today I will also make a
3D tutorial, here the 3D that I made is in the form of a triangle, friends, so how do I make it? actually it's the same as we make
a 3d city, my friend, but it's different in the beginning, if we make a triangle, then the 3d will be in the form of a triangle, my
friend, it might not be a box or a hexagon wkwkwkw. Well, for the same understanding, friends, as you know, Adobe
Illustrator is not software for making 3D, friends, like other 3D software. Well, for illustrator, it's actually software to create
vector shapes, if the vector shape is zoomed in or enlarged many times, the shape won't break at all unless it's been converted
to jpeg or png, friends, it's definitely broken. Now for making 3d here, it's only limited to seeing the 3d side as you know that
the 3d requirement is to have an x side, a y side and a z side and that means it can be said to be in 3d shape. okay we just how

know what a paper shadow looks like? if you don't know, look at the caver blog, ok? so to make a paper shadow, you have to

use the Selection Tool and align the cursor mos on each corner of the object to be rotated.

Image Firework in Adobe Illustrator. We're not making posters, are we still making Firework elements , what's the
way? Well, it's very easy, friends, by using the line tool and adjusting the stroke, we can make Fireworks or fireworks yes
friends heheh, the cool language is Firework wkwkwk. Now if we make it in Adobe Illustrator then the image that we have
created will become a vector and later if it is a vector it will not break when we increase the size or reduce it. For the
manufacture itself we have to use rotation as well so that the effect of the sparks when the fireworks explode or bloom above
then we need to use rotation.
so how to make it? let's follow Creating Vector Image Firework in Adobe Illustrator.
the first step is to first create a canvas with A4 size, how to click the File menu, select new document, just adjust it for the
size of the canvas to be created.

if you have tried to make a line on the canvas, for color, please choose any color, friends.

if you've tried clicking the Rotate Tool, now this tool serves to rotate the object that we created earlier, yes, in this way we
can rotate the shape very neatly and later we will determine it based on a 10 degree slope.

896 | P a g e
if you have tried the center point of rotation pointing down the line, you can see that the rotation point does not touch the line,
which means that point is the rotation axis of the Rotate Tool.

if you have tried to point the cursor to the axis point earlier then press ALT on the keyboard, and later the Rotate
setting will appear here, set the Angle of the rotation, you can determine how many degrees of slope the rotation will be made
here, I use 10 degrees. Oh yes, don't forget to click preview to see the results and click Copy.

if so, try pressing on the keyboard CTRL + D, here CTRL + D is the sourtcut to copy the rotation step that we made earlier so
it will look like in the image below.

897 | P a g e
if you have tried each line is set for its stroke style using a width profile 4

then you click set stroke settings here.


This setting is different from each line that we give the dashed line , for the first setting as shown in the image below.

898 | P a g e
for the second setting, just separate the dashed line .

and this is the third.

899 | P a g e
oh yes, it is necessary to remember that for setting the dashed line, the line must be selected, yes, each line is different in
different settings.
then the result will be like in the image below.

How to Create an Arabic Pattern in Adobe Illustrator
Patterns exist in nature as well as in designed objects, it is useful to see parallels. A Harvard biologist named Peter S. Stevens
has published a book called “Patterns in Nature” in which he claims that there are only a limited number of ways patterns can
be composed. He started with the idea of a grid as the foundation for any structure or image. He presents a series of ways in
which grid points can be connected. These modes of connection become classes of patterns, according to which they can be
seen in any situation, in nature and in the created image, and from microscopic to cosmic scales.
Prepare to create a new document.
The first step is to set up a new document in Adobe Illustrator (File > New) with an artboard size of 500 px x 500 px, color
mode RGB, and a resolution of 72.

if we have tried to click the object menu, look for the compound path and select make.

This method serves to unite each text that we just created, friends, so that it becomes one, and you need to know that if you
have created an outline, the text cannot be re-edited.
if you have tried to insert the photo into adobe illustrator then you right click select arrange and look for send to back, here so
that the photo is behind the text that we have outlined.

929 | P a g e
then select all text and photos then right click select make clipping mask.

then the result will be like the image below.

Tips and Tricks Using the Rotate Tool in Adobe Illustrator
Good afternoon friends, today we will learn Tips for Using the Rotate Tool in Adobe Illustrator, here it's not just to use it but
there is a trick too, I wonder what the trick is? what is rotation, my friend? if you use rotation what is rotated? must be an
object right? So, to rotate it, we use the rotate tool and the trick is when we use the rotate tool, we can copy a rotate and later it
will form a design that we don't know about. here you can make various shapes as long as you have creativity and you need to
remember that this rotate is not always used but you have to know these tips and tricks are okay if there is a similar case we can
immediately do it quickly, the name is also the design definitely needs imagination continously,
The first step we make first is free to want any object, but here I make a rectangle tool.

after that you try to find the rotate tool, friends or you can also press the letter R on your keyboard.

and how to use it, try pressing alt and then you give a reference point where it can be used as the axis or center of its
rotation. And later a rotate settings window will appear.

here you set the angle, and don't forget if you want to know the position of your rotation check the preview. if you have tried it
click copy yes.

931 | P a g e
then the rectangle will be copied and rotated as you set earlier.

after that you can press CTRL + D, then the result will be like the image below.

mask in Adobe Illustrator. Wow, how do you do it, can you do it? Yes, of course, friends, you can definitely do this. In this
way, we can adjust the masking, such as the gradient color and its effect on the object. Setting it up is very easy, you don't need
to bother and take a lot of steps.
let's just start the process of making a black and white mask in illustrator, first prepare the photo to be edited.

then we enter the photo into the adobe illustrator software.

after that go to transparency settings click make mask.

933 | P a g e
if the clip is unchecked and the invert mask is checked, yes, as shown below.

and make sure that the mask selected here is not the object of the photo.

after that you can make a city with the rectangle tool, make a box like the size of the photo.

if you have tried to set the color of the city with a black and white gradient color.

934 | P a g e
you can adjust the gradient color as you like, whether from the style, color combination or the position of the gradient.

and taraaa, then the result will be like the picture below, friends.

Create an Animal Calendar in Adobe Illustrator
Vectors are created using a vector illustration software program, such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. These programs use
mathematical equations and geometric primitives (points, lines, and shapes) to create clean, camera-ready, and infinitely
scalable art, with no loss of quality or fidelity.
Scalability is one of the main reasons Vector art files are so valuable for printers. The same art file can be used to reproduce
your design on something as small as a business card, or something as large as a billboard, without losing quality.
The first thing to make is a round shape using the ellipse tool.

Then change the round shape by using the direct selection tool.

Then here I will create the ears, using the ellipse tool. Then put it behind the body.

936 | P a g e
Then here I will make the nose, still using the ellipse tool, friends, I use a light pink fill and a dark pink stroke.

Then I made the upper part of the nose, each using the ellipse tool, but I adjusted the shape again using the direct selection tool.

937 | P a g e
Then for the part of the nose I used the brush tool. Just make one and then we can copy and then reflect so that the size and
shape are the same.

And next I will make the eyes, still the same still using the ellipse tool.

938 | P a g e
Then for the mustache on my cheeks using a brush, just make one and then copy it into several parts and then arrange it so that
it becomes a mustache shape.

Then I will make a pocket on the stomach like a kangaroo, but this bag is to put the date numbers. I made it using the rounded
rectangle tool, then I rearranged the shape using the direct selection tool, then I lowered the opacity to 50%.

939 | P a g e
Then in the pocket of his stomach I gave the date. For free font types, you can adjust according to your tastes, if you want the
same, here I use myriad pro.

For the animal part, it's finished, here I want to give accessories for this animal, namely a hat. Still the same as before here we
are still using the ellipse tool.

Now for the top of the hat here I use the rounded rectangle tool, but I finish the radius so that it looks like a circle, then I use
the pentool at the bottom and then I divide the two using pathfinder, then ungroup and delete the bottom part.

940 | P a g e
To make like a ribbon, I use the pentool.

Now to make this flower, I use the start tool, then I give the effect by means of, effect > distort & transform > pucker &
bloat. So the result will be like this.

Tara and the result will be like this.

Making Instagram Feeds More Interesting in Illustrator
The Instagram algorithm was introduced to help bring out the best and most relevant content for each user every time they
check their feed. Until now, the inner workings of the feed had been kept secret, but recently Instagram shared the top six
ranking factors publicly for the first time.
In this post, we will break down the Instagram feed for you. One of the factors that affect the ranking of your content is your
Instagram feed, if your Instagram feed is messy, people are too lazy to look at your Instagram. Therefore, make it as attractive
as possible, either by playing with colors, adjusting the color or tone of the image to make it look the same or in a way that is
designed in such a way that people are interested in seeing your Instagram feed and want to follow or imitate the feed you have
created. All according to the tastes and wishes of the respective Instagram owners.
So that's why Instagram is no stranger to us, this made me interested in creating an Instagram feed in Adobe Illustrator. No
need to be afraid, here I will make in a simple but interesting way.
Prepare photos that will be designed, to make it look more attractive.

First, usually the Instagram feed is 500 px x 500 px.

943 | P a g e
After that I made a box using the rectangle tool, the size of which is 400 px x 400 px.

Then select the photo and shape that was created earlier, then apply a clipping mask.

Then make a round shape using the ellipse tool, give it a black color and place it on the bottom left.

944 | P a g e
Then give the text on the round shape earlier, for the pretty girl text it uses the Bethanie font type, while the text here I use the
cavira dreams font type. For the top I give 3 rounded rectangles arranged in a row, then I tilt.

And lastly so that it's not too plain I copy > paste the ellipse shape earlier, and I use a white stroke and then I use a 12 pt
dash. Until the end result will be like this.

945 | P a g e

Create a Greeting Card in Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is a software application for creating images, illustrations, and artwork using a Windows or MacOS
computer. Illustrator was originally released in 1987 and continues to be updated regularly, and is now included as part of the
Adobe Creative Cloud. Illustrator is widely used by graphic designers, web designers, visual artists, and professional
illustrators around the world to create high-quality works of art. Illustrator includes many powerful drawing tools that can
reduce the time it takes to create illustrations.

In Adobe Illustrator, you can also create greeting card designs, if you are bored with greeting card designs that are just like
that, you can design your own greeting cards in Adobe Illustrator according to your wishes and desires.
First here, make the background first, I use a light pink background.

After that I made a rectangle like the picture below using the rectangle tool.

Then I made another box for the top, this box is cream colored.

947 | P a g e
Here I will make a flower, using the start tool, then click the effect menu > distort & transform > pucker & bloat.

Then arrange it into one neat line as shown below.

Then select the flower and square then we will use pathfinder > divide, and the result will be like this.

948 | P a g e
I will give a drop shadow, click menu effect> stylize> drop shadow.

Until the drop shadow will be like this in the picture that was made earlier.

949 | P a g e
Then make a straight line by giving the dash stroke 12 pt.

At the top I gave the text happy wedding using the Amarillo font.

950 | P a g e
Then to make this love, you can make it using the ellipse tool and then set the anchor.

For the name I use the president font type.

951 | P a g e
And for the writing below I use the caviar font type.

952 | P a g e
Creating Unique Labels in Illustrator
Product labels describe a product and help it to stand out from competitors. There are no rules to follow when creating product
labels and you have many options in layout, size, shape, color, and more. However, following certain guidelines can definitely
lead to well-designed product labels and, ultimately, more sales.

Times are getting more modern, label designs are getting more and more shapes and models that we often encounter, label
design is one of the important icons to attract customers. Well, here I was inspired to make flower labels, for women it would
be fun.
First here I will create a circle, which is created using the shape tool.

Now, I want to give this circle a dash effect, by clicking the stroke menu, then checking the dashed line.

Until the result will be like this.

953 | P a g e
Then here I make a star using the start tool.

Then I want to change this star shape into something new by clicking the effect menu > distort & transform > pucker & bloat.

Until the result changed from what was previously a star shape to a flower shape.

954 | P a g e
Then give an ellipse shape in the middle, so that it forms the pistil of the punga.

Next is the same, I will make flowers again, but this time not from the start tool, but using the ellipse tool.

955 | P a g e
To change it still click menu effect> distort & transfrom> pucker & bloat, until the result will be like this. What was produced
by the ellipse earlier only produced four petals, but we copy and rotate so that the result will be like the picture on the right.

Then we set the flower that was made earlier in a position like this.

In order to refine the label, I'm going to add another ellipse here, but the ellipse is smaller than the first, and I'm not using dash
at all.

956 | P a g e
Then in the middle you can give text, or whatever according to your needs.

957 | P a g e
Creating a Modern Coupon in Illustrator
One of the most important features of Adobe Illustrator is that the quality of the artwork created using Illustrator is independent
of the resolution displayed. This means that images created in Illustrator can be enlarged or reduced without compromising
image quality. This is an attribute of vector artwork, which uses mathematical relationships in depicting lines, arcs, and other
parts of Illustrator. In comparison, photos edited using tools like Adobe Photoshop are resolution dependent, and image quality
degrades when the image is enlarged. A vector graphic is a set of polygons that make up an image, which in turn consists of
vectors.
Each vector passes through a location known as a node or control point, which has a specified location on the x and y axes on
the plane. These nodes define vector paths, which have various attributes such as color, curve, fill, shape, and thickness. The
positions of the vectors can be related to each other by a mathematical formula, which precisely recalculates their position
when an image is resized.
This property of vector graphics is different when compared to imaging software such as Photoshop, which uses a grid of
pixels to render the image. When this type of image is scaled up sufficiently, the individual pixels that comprise the bit map
become visible. This phenomenon results in a loss of image quality known as pixilation, which makes Illustrator particularly
advantageous for creating large images such as billboard signs.
Now because of the development of technology, everything is modern and sophisticated, including the design midwife. Here I
will create a modern coupon design that is more attractive than the previous design.
First here I make a size of 300 px x 200 px. Here I use the rectangle tool to make the background blue.

Then I use the rounded rectangle tool, and use white color.

Now the rounded that I made earlier I will change its shape by clicking the effect menu > distort & transform > pucker & bloat.

958 | P a g e
Then set here to create a new shape, if you have found a new shape please click Ok.

So the result will be like this.

Then now is the time to provide text.

959 | P a g e
Then so that it doesn't look monotonous under the coupon writing, I give it a rectangle with the fill color I press it and then the
stroke is gray.

Below that continue again with text.

960 | P a g e
Then so that it doesn't look empty, give it a background of small shapes, or it can be something else that can be adjusted
according to your friends' wishes.

How to Create a Colored Logo in Illustrator
At a very basic level, a logo is a symbol consisting of text and images that help us identify the brands we like. But they can be
so much more! A good logo is the cornerstone of your brand. It helps customers understand what you do, who you are and
what you value. That's a lot of responsibility on a small picture! Let's see how to make the most of your logo.
Perhaps the most basic function of a logo is to give your business a unique mark that distinguishes you from other
businesses. This is especially important if your business has competition (which 99.9% of them do). Before you get a logo for
your business, you'll want to research what your competitors look like so you can position yourself. See how the Cactus Dental
logo set itself apart from the sea of cliched dental logos in the dental industry by taking features unique to their geography and
turning them into toothbrushes.
Of course, you don't want to be so unusual that potential customers don't understand your brand or logo. So, here I want to
make an easy logo design.
First, friends make the artboard first. This size is 500 px x 500 px.

Here we will create a shape using the rounded rectangle tool, then rotate it until the shape becomes like this. For the first form
here I give it a white color.

962 | P a g e
Copy > Paste from the previously created shape, then rotate it the reverse of the previous image. For this second shape, use a
gradient color, namely pink and white.

Still the same copy of the previous shape, rotate it again but lower its opacity to 70%.

Then copy again, friends, but if from the previous shapes only use fill colors, this last shape only uses stroke colors, the color is
pink and white gradient, friends, just like the others.

963 | P a g e
Then give text in the middle of the shape that was made earlier, type black pink and use white color.

To make it look more interesting, I will give it a drop shadow. By clicking the effect menu > stylize > drop shadow.

964 | P a g e
Until the result will be like this.

Inserting Photos of Two or More Squares in Illustrator
Good afternoon Dumet school friends, today I will give you material about Inserting Photos from Two or More Squares in
Illustrator. So what command do we usually use to insert a photo into the object? Yup, that's right, the clipping mask. Now to
make a clipping mask, it's easy, friends, all you have to do is position the object with the photo that will be clipped to the
clipping mask in a stacked position then select all the objects and right click select make clipping mask now that's how to make
a clipping mask but you have to know that not all objects can enter into the clipping mask if there are two or more boxes, we
cannot enter it in the same way as before, it takes another process to insert the clipping mask if there are many shapes. So, in
this article, we will learn to include it, my friend.
let's practice, first I didn't make a lot of shapes, here I just made two box shapes.

after that you select everything, then you right click select compound path.

then the result will be like the image below.

The compound path function is used to combine two or more objects into one friend.

966 | P a g e
after that enter the photo that you will enter into the two boxes.
select all photos with the shapes that you have combined using a compound path.

then you right click select make clipping mask, and later the result of the photo that we will make the mask will go into the box
that we have compound path.

SIMPLE LOGO DESIGN
WITH ADOBE
ILLUSTRATOR

Logo Illustrator Design

Assalammualaikum, how are you friends, I hope everyone is healthy,


amen, this time I will share a tutorial on how to create an Illustrator Design
logo using Adobe Illustrator CS 5.

For the specifications of the laptop I use, I use 2 GB of RAM and an


Intel Celeron Processor.

Okay, don't be at length, let's go straight to the scene !!!!....

1. The first thing you have to do is open the Adobe Illustrator software,
depending on what version you are using. For this tutorial I'm using Adobe

968 | P a g e
Illustrator CS5. Okay, after opening, we create a new file and change the
size to A4 and the orientation to Landcape. After the worksheet appears
then create the letter D using the Type Tool with the Segoe UI font, Bold,
and with a size of 500 pt.

2. Then make a rectangle and make it vertically using the Rectangle Tool, then
point right at the end of the vertical line on the letter "D" as shown below,
then change the letter "D" into an object image by clicking the letter "D"
then right click and click create outline .

969 | P a g e
3. Then we will remove the rectangular part using the pathfinder, by clicking
Window and then clicking Pathfinder, then selecting the letter "D" object
with the rectangle object, then selecting Minus Front in Pathfinder. As a
result, the rectangle will disappear.

970 | P a g e
Pathfinder results

4. The fourth step you make a circle to make a curve on the object earlier with
the Ellipse Tool with a size, Width 2.776 and Height 2.776.

5. The next step is to place the circle right at the end of the object, as shown
below, try to make the middle point of the circle right on the object line. To
make things easier, change the color of the two objects to no fill and the
outline to black with a size of 1 pt.

971 | P a g e
6. Then you change the color of the two objects to black, then select the two
objects, with the pathfinder we will make these two into one with the
pathfinder and select the Shape Modes Unite.

7. The next step is to make an arch at the end of the other letter D like the
method above and the results are as below

972 | P a g e
8. Then we will make an additional object so that it looks like the letter I, how
do we copy the object into 3

9. The next step is to leave one original object on the worksheet and place the
other two objects outside the worksheet, create one of the other colored
objects and arrange so that the leading object is placed under the back

973 | P a g e
object. Then select both objects and with pathfinder select Shape Mode
Exclude.

10. If you have, there are many pieces of the object, then you click the
object and right-click ungroup then delete some objects and leave one
object as below.

974 | P a g e
11. Then place the object in the letter I, the first object, try to make the
second object match the first object, so that you can be sure that you can
change the color of the two objects to no fill and only use strokes.

12. The last step is finishing by changing the color of the first object with the
color code #9D4322 and the second object with the color code
#F27C25. Then you add Illustrator Design with Segoe UI font with size 48 pt
and color code #661800. Then so that the object and the text are aligned,
you select the two objects and right-click the group, then you select the
object that the group created earlier and the text, then you select Align
Panel and select Horizontal Align Panel.

CREATING A RIBBON
BANNER USING ADOBE
ILLUSTRATOR CS 5

peace be upon you

How are you friends, I hope you are always healthy, amen. Okay this time I
will share a tutorial on making a Ribbon Banner using Adobe Illustrator CS 5.
Okay, let's just go to the TKP !!!!

1. The first step, you create a rectangle using the rectangle tool, depending on
the size and color.

977 | P a g e
2. Then create another rectangle with a shorter length and the same width as
the first rectangle, change its color to be different from the first rectangle,
then move the second rectangle behind the first rectangle by clicking the
second rectangle and then clicking right select Arange then click Send To
Back.

978 | P a g e
3. Then create a triangle using the Pen Tool with a different color from the two
rectangle objects, then connect the corners of the two rectangles as shown
below.

4. The next step is to make a hollow in the second rectangle. You do this by
adding an anchor to the second rectangle using the Add Anchor Point Tool,
then using the Convert Anchor Point Tool click while holding down Shift and
drag it inward as shown below.

979 | P a g e
5. Change the color using the Gradient Tool change according to your taste,
my suggestion is to color the rectangle using the same color, however for
the triangle, use a darker color to create a shadow effect. Then create all
objects into groups by selecting all objects, then right -click and click
Group.

6. Then copy all the objects and reflect the results of the copy, by clicking on
the copy object and then right-clicking and selecting Transform, then
clicking Reflect. Then set the rectangular side 1 with the rectangular side 1
copy to unite and set it so that its position is parallel using Align, the way is
to select object 1 and object copy then click Align and then select Vertical
Align Center. Then the two objects were combined into one group, the
method is the same as in step 4.

980 | P a g e
7. Give the text in the object set the appropriate font and size.

8. Then create a wave effect by selecting the ribbon banner object with the
font object then clicking Object on the Menu Bar, then selecting Envelope
Distort then selecting Make With Warp, then setting the style in the Warp
Option according to your needs, using the Style Flag with the Warp Vertical

981 | P a g e
and Bend options. 26%, as well as for Distortion both Vertical and Horizontal
0%. To make it easier for you to manage Warp, don't forget to click Preview.

CREATING A WORM
DOODLE USING ADOBE
ILLUSTRATOR CS5

peace be upon you

How are you friends, I hope you are healthy and well, amen, this time I will
make a doodle in the form of a caterpillar, okay, let's go to the TKP !!!!...

1. For this first step we make the body of the caterpillar, using the Ellipse Tool
we make with the following conditions: for size width = 6 cm height = 6 cm,
then give color using the gradient tool with gradient slider 1 color = #45B649
Color and gradient slider 1 color = # 196433 with stroke thickness = 6 pt and
color = #39B54A then change angle to = -90 and location to = 60.

983 | P a g e
2. The next step is to copy the ellipse object and place it in another place, and
align it using align, that is, click the two ellipse objects and click align and
then click vertical align center.

3. Then we will make a body from a caterpillar using Blend, how we select the
two elliptical objects and click Object on the Menu Bar and select Blend and
click Blend Option, then the Blend Option tab will appear, then in the
spacing we select Specified Steps with the number of Blend 10 and
Orientation we select Align To Page, then click OK. Then we create the
Blend Object by clicking Object and then select blend and click make.

4. Then change the direction of the Blend object by clicking Object and select
Blend and click Reverse Spin.

984 | P a g e
5. The next step is to make the eyes using the Elipse Tool, first we create an
Elipse 1 object with the provisions of width = 2 cm height = 2 cm color =
#FFFFFF stroke color = #231F20 and stroke = 6 pt, then we create an Elipse
2 object with width = 1 cm height = 1 cm color = #231F20 and we create an
Ellipse 2 object with the provisions of width = 0.2 cm height = 0.2 cm color =
#FFFFFF then we adjust the direction of the eye, after that we make the eye
object a Group by selecting the three objects and then right click, then we
select group.

6. Then Copy the eye object and adjust the eye position as shown below.

7. Our last step is to create the mouth using the pen tool and give it color =
#FF0013 and stroke thickness = 4 pt with color = #231F20.

SIMPLE BUSINESS CARD
DESIGN USING ADOBE
ILLUSTRATOR CS 5

Illustrator Design Business Card Design

peace be upon you

How are you friends, I hope you are all healthy wal afiat
aamiin. Okay friends yesterday I made a tutorial to make a simple logo design
using Adobe Photoshop CS 5 this time I will make a tutorial that is still related
to the previous tutorial, okay this time I will share a tutorial to make a
business card design using Adobe Illustrator CS 5.

Okay, let's go straight to the scene !!!!!! ......

1. The first step as usual you have to open Adobe Illustrator that you have
whatever version you have installed. For this tutorial I use Adobe Illustrator
CS 5. Okay then you can create a new worksheet, then set the size of the
worksheet with Width = 9 and Height = 5 cm and click OK. If you can make

987 | P a g e
a business card using the Rectangle Tool with Width = 9 cm and Height 5
cm, then set the rectangle object in your Adobe Illustrator worksheet.

2. Next, we can open the logo file that was previously created and copy the
logo object (the logo object only, the writing is not) to the business card
worksheet that we are creating. We made the logo to be a design on the
business card that we will make. Then shrink the logo and arrange the logo
like the picture below.

988 | P a g e
3. Then Copy the logo object into two objects

4. Next, call the object rectangle with size Width = 0.3296 cm Height = 1.355
cm, then place the object copy of the logo at the corner in the object. Then
you have to take part of the object based on the rectangle object using
Pathfinder by selecting the object copy of the logo and rectangle object and
then in the pathfinder select the shape modes intersect. If you can't find
your tool's pathfinder, the way is in Simple Logo Design Using Adobe
Illustrator CS 5 .

989 | P a g e
The result is like the picture below.

5. Next, copy the rectangle object and place it as in the previous step.

990 | P a g e
6. Then by using Pathfinder we will remove the logo object based on the
rectangle object, the shape modes used are Minus Front. Then you right
click on the logo object and select ungroup.

7. Then move the curved part of the logo object to the corner of the business
card object. Next, select the rectangle object and drag and lengthen the

991 | P a g e
rectangle object and place it in line with the logo object, connect the two
separate objects.

8. Next, make the three logo objects become one again using Pathfinder, you
select the three logo objects and then select Shape Modes Unite on
Pathfinder.

992 | P a g e
9. Then make the yellow at the end of the logo is back, because it is located
behind then we have to move it to the front by selecting the logo object and
business card and then right -click select Arange and click Send To Back.

10. Next we will change the color of the business card object by using
Gradient and then change the color of Gradient Slider 1 with color #424242
and the color of Gradient Slider 1 with color #121212 with Type Radial.

993 | P a g e
11. Furthermore, because the color of the logo object looks dark, we will
change the color to look bright, we change the color of the dark logo object
to color with color code = #F17C24 and we change the color of the logo
object which is a bit light to color with color code = #F3AF22.

12. The next step we create a circle Width = 1.5 cm and Height = 1.5 cm with
color code = #FFFFFF, then we copy the logo in the logo file that has been
created, and adjust the size with the object circle that we have created, so
that the object the logo is in the middle of the circle we can use align, how
we click the circle object and the small logo then click Align Horizontal
Align Center and click Vertical Align Center. Then we will create these two
objects in a group by clicking on the two objects and right -click on the two
objects and select Group. Then we set the position of the two objects.

994 | P a g e
13. Then we will add Name and identity on the business card, for this tutorial
I will write my name with Font Segoe UI type with Font Size 10 pt and color
code = #FEC262 then for the position of Font Segoe UI type with Font Size 10
pt and color code = #E3992A then for Segoe UI Font Mobile Number and
Email with Font Size 6.43 pt and color code = #FEC262. . Then adjust the
position of the font to align with the logo.

995 | P a g e
14. The last step we will create a demarcation line between the logo and the
font by using the Rectangle tool and with color code = #FF8431.

USING ADOBE
ILLUSTRATOR CS 5

peace be upon you
