The very first thing that we need to do today is to apply a stroke color without a fill and then choose your shape
Making liner with this tool function works pretty well with any shape that you want to use
But I'm first going to run with an octagon and to make an octagon
Take the polygon tool click on the canvas and type in eight sides
All of the magic for your line art is going to happen right here under the effect distort or transform and then the transform window
Firstly click preview so you can see your effect changes in real time and then increase the amount of copies
For all of these settings today you should really experiment with them and see what fits best for your aligner design
Also, don't forget to have fun with it. Of course
But it's best to lower the horizontal scale tiny bits and then you might want to check or uncheck the scale stroke and effects button
Leaving it checked will fade to the inner part of your design, which you will see later
And like I said guys play around with the settings because you can make some seriously interesting designs with ease
But I will show you the one I have the most fun with later in the video
For the angle
I find it helps to double click the measurement numbers and then simply just press up and down on the arrow keys on your keyboard
This will slowly change the effect of your design like so
With the shapes that have many different sides such as hexagons and octagons
You can make some cool kind of horny shape designs by playing with the vertical and horizontal move sliders
When you have your shape set press ok, and then click the stroke in the color palette so you can edit the colors
However, if you wish to add a gradient to the line art
You need to go ahead and go up to object and expand appearance and then again into expand
As you can see now my liner design has a gradient across it and this would look pretty dope on a dark background
But we're going to move on to the next shape which is using a square
I feel you can make the best designs with a square alongside utilizing the rotate tool
So access the rectangle tool in the tool bar
Or you can press M on your keyboard and then generate a square on your illustrator canvas
Like before head into effect distort and transform and then distorts
This time the top two sliders really need to have the same values and quickly just to show you
Look how easily you can make some complex and intricate designs with this function
It really is awesome
But for this line art design keep your move sliders to zero and central and then play with the angle by double
Click in the measurement numbers and then using the arrow keys like before
You will noticed that if you in check the scale stroke option the design was going to fade into the middle
You can choose whichever setting you want for your liner design
Before you go ahead and expand the appearance of your design. You can increase or decrease the stroke weights
Remember that after you do expand the appearance. You're not going to be able to edit the stroke ways
So it's best to do that beforehand
Finally press R for the rotate tool and then hold down the alt/option key and click the very middle
You can type in a rotation value keeping it within a multiple of 360. So for example, 36 is good
Then click copy and all you need to do is the press command or control D to repeat the process
You will notice that this is a lot like a spirograph, you know these cool circular things that you use with pens and paper
So have fun with the illustrator transform function in this way and get creative with it
You can of course use your loaner designs in many different ways and you can even transfer them in with a photoshop
like I did with my design here and as stuff like a lens flare and other effects to
