Using the Blend Tool to Create a Halftone Effect Portrait in Adobe Illustrator. The Blend Tool has been part of Adobe Illustrator for a long time and it's very simple to work with. The tool creates objects that fill the space between two key objects. Let's say we have a square as object A and a circle as object B; the Blend Tool will create intermediate figure shapes between these two objects. You can add how many steps you want and it remains editable until you expand it. We can use this tool to create many effects. In this tutorial I'll show you how to use the Blend Tool to create semi-realistic halftones with lines. To create a semi realistic illustration, a good stock is essential. Our work will be done in black and white, using black lines as halftones.
Now, let's increase the contrast between the blacks and whites. To make the visualization of the halftones even easier, let's apply the Posterize filter on the image by going to Menu > Image > Adjustments > Posterize and set the Levels to 10. Now we have our base image ready. Select "Layer 2". Daft Punk Poster in Illustrator. Using Gradients to Create a Slick & Fun Cartoon Worm in Adobe Illustrator.
