thanks to a subscriber request I'm going to show you how to make this floral gradient design
in today's Illustrator tutorial
what is up people welcome back to satori graphics home of graphic design content
storming on with the third upload of my first week back here on YouTube
we have a floral gradient design in Illustrator put today's tutorial a
subscriber so let's design here a different video of mine and he wanted to
know how it was made so let's jump right into it select a color fill here and
then choose the ellipse tool in Illustrator tool panel holding down
shift generate a perfect circle like so and then hold down the alt/option key
duplicator select both circles and align them vertically if you don't have the
alone options of the top here you can go up to window and then align
once they're aligned open up a Finder window and choose the intersect option
leaving you at the mid section cut out this petal shape will form the basis of
our floral gradient design in today's tutorial with the selection tool you can
stretch it out a little bit like I'm doing here with the petal selected is I
need to grab the rotate tool move the crosshair icon down to the very tip of
the petal and then click once with your cursor right over the icon all down the
alt/option key and then click again type in 18 degrees and you can click preview
if you want to once you're happy in copy and then command D or control D to
repeat the process
select one of the petals of the floral design and duplicate them as we need
them later on the original floral design turn down the opacity is something like
30% and then add a gradient this is one way we're going to add a gradient to a
floral design I'm going to show you another way afterwards choose your
colors in the gradient window and once you're happy brab the gradient tool here
draw a straight line right across your floor design which will allow you to
spread the gradient evenly over each petal now group all of the petals in the
gradient floral design with command or control G if you move any way to the
dark background it may look at all due to the fact that
any set to a low pay City to get around this you can prove the dark petals
together and then make them white
send the collection to the back and then place them exactly behind the color
floral design make sure they're aligned perfectly and if you want to ungroup the
color petals you can change it basically to something a little bit higher
the second way of adding color to our floral design in today's illustrator
tutorial is by adding color to each petal individually open up your swatch
library under then access two flower swatches in the way I'm doing here you
can simply need to set a petal and a color from the library
trying to match them side-by-side two colors look visually appealing
and they have it one floral gradient design in another tutorial graphics
