How to Make an Icy Cocktail. Do you desire to drink an icy refreshing cocktail on a sunny day?
I know I am, so in this Illustrator tutorial, I will explain how I draw a refreshing cocktail drink in Adobe illustrator. Hope you will find this useful and inspiring to make other kinds of drinks or cocktails. Drawing the Glass Shape Open a new document, any size, RGB mode. Now copy and paste in front this shape. Next, copy and paste in front of the shape again and make it a little smaller. Drawing the Glass Legs Now let’s make the ‘leg’ of the glass. Drawing the Glass Foot For the ‘foot’ of the glass take the Ellipse tool and draw the shape that you see in the image and fill it with the linear gradient.
Coloring the Drink It’s time to color the drink. Next, draw a simple shape like the one below and fill it with a linear gradient using the orange from above and a darker one. Drawing the Ice Cubes Now, we will make the ice cubes. Now place them all on top of the glass shape and you should have now something like this: Creating seamless patterns in Illustrator. One of the frequest questions I get from readers is how you create seamless patterns in Illustrator. Today I’ll explain how I create such patterns and how you can scale and rotate them using different settings in the Scale tool options. Draw your pattern First we start by drawing a square. Select the Rectangle tool and draw a sqaure holding down the shift key. With the square still selected, hit command/control + 5 to make a guide from the square (View > Guides > Make Guides).
Make sure guides are on so you see the square. Go to View > Guides > Show Guides (or hit command/control + semicolon). Create an illustration inside the square to be used as basis for the pattern. Reflect the corner ornament You probably don't see this in the picture, but in the very top left corner I've used a quarter of a circle. First make sure Smart Guides are turned on. Reflect again and rotate the center ornament Select both corner ornaments and alt/option click in the center of the square again.
Create a Vintage Art Deco Poster with Illustrator’s Grain Effect. Papercut aesthetics with vectors | Computer Arts. Software Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 or laterTime needed 3-4 hoursSkills-Understand how to layer an image-Use basic layer effects-Increase relevance with colour I’ve always been drawn towards craft-led techniques, and like to find ways to recreate them in a digital environment. I often add some traditional airbrushing into my shading work with Photoshop and a Wacom tablet, for instance. I was recently asked to produce my own take on Diesel’s Only The Brave Eau de Toilette bottle, and decided to emulate a papercut aesthetic to create a fluid and abstract design that would be distinctive and have a sense of depth. Using a juice bottle as a subject, I’ll show you how to digitally produce a papercut look and integrate it with the style of type that you might find on advertising posters or print adverts, for example. 01 Start by sketching a few rough layouts with a pencil. 02 When you’re happy with your design, open Illustrator and create a new document. 11 Next, draw your title.
Create a kaleidoscopic effect | Computer Arts. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through you how to add a sense of motion to your work by combining vector illustrations with Photoshop's Pen tool to create a kaleidoscopic effect. Focusing on my image 'Stampede' as a starting point, we'll mix vector drawings with pixels, incorporating a series of different forms - animal, vegetable, mineral and synthetic - to make a complex, fluid image. This technique is like a chemistry experiment and the results can be unpredictable: it's a great way to add dynamism to your work. 01 Before you begin, think about the concept of your drawing and make some notes. I usually print out a few sketches to see what kind of lines I will use; however, for this illustration I've kept the process organic, doing no preliminary sketches. 02 The next step is to create a series of vector-based shapes and icons that you can use in your illustration. 03 Select some of your elements and start creating circular patterns. 11 Continue to work on multiple layers.
