today I have a cool illustrator scatter brush tutorial we're going to make a
very emotive brush and then use that to design a tree design in Adobe Illustrator
what is up people welcome back to the home of graphic design on YouTube Satori Graphics
before the scatter brush tutorial I want to let my loyal viewers
know I have a question at the very end of this tutorial so make sure to hang
around for that with the pencil make a slightly curvy line up the artboard
this is going to represent the trunk of the tree and then add some weight to the
you will want to add this stroke style here making the line thinner at
the top then when the same method make a couple of branches and spread out from
the tree we're going to make a decent-looking trunk before we address
the scatter brush section of this tutorial make several lines of the
strength techniques that we used before and you end up with something like this
select everything and then outline the strokes and then in the pathfinder
window you know everything together with the first option in the Pathfinder
finally apron up the simplify window and adjust it so there are not so many
anchor points on the tree next we're going to add an effect that will make
the tree look wooden by going up to effect distort and then roughen choose
the absolute option here as well as the smooth bugs I make sure the settings are
make the setting something similar to mine here you may have to experiment
with your settings a bit we can adjust the bottom of the trunk to be flat the
direct selection tool next we're going to be one to discuss a brush part of
this tutorial
make a circle with the ellipse tool and then you can press command or control I
open up the release
use a direct selection tool to adjust the circle into a similar shape to mine here
we're going to make a leave the scatter brush setting with the pen tool draw a
shape they'll cut into the list then select both shapes and use this
Pathfinder setting here open up the brush setting window and select new
brush in the top right corner from there to scatter brush you must choose the
path setting here and then change the spacing and the size these settings will
have to be played around with later anyway
finally select into the bottom option
you see your brush appear in the window here I take out the pencil tool and draw
a line around your tree where you want the scatter brush to place leaves on
this method can be used for any design not just trees once finished highlight
the line and simply click your scatter brush in the brush window mine are way
too small so if you want to Jin Joos will click the brush setting in the
brush window and play around the settings into you happy
you can in our color and I finally I'll show you how to edit a scatter brush pad
I'll learn the stroke of your leaves and then improve them all this will now
allow you to delete move and resize each individual leaf on your design also if
you make the line with the pencil tool and add a scatter brush on top of it you
can continue drawing any time by clicking the end of the line
so experiment have fun making designs in Illustrator for this scatter brush I'm
thinking of making a new series called the construction of design on my channel
where you know if you as a mature subscriber is concerned in designs that
you see online and then I make a video showing the design process I think the
graphic design undertook to make a design you think this is a good idea let
me know in the comment section below and send in your ideas later this week I
have another logo design using circles so watch out for that like and share
this video if you found it useful and until next time design your future
today peace
you
