today I have a super easy but a super cool Illustrator abstract shape tutorial
you guys to recreate yourself
what is up people welcome back to satori graphics home of a graphic design
content right here on YouTube today I have an illustrator abstract shape
tutorial a major inspiration problem for fellow designer on Instagram so you can
go ahead and visit Danny void on the gram and check out these super cool work
if you do end up enjoying this tutorial today remember to Like comment and share
it to somebody else also excuse my cold I've got a pretty
bad cold at the moment but I'm still making videos for you guys for this
abstract shape tutorial in illustrator today you first need to make a triangle
so grab the polygon tool it will click the eye board and then type in three
sides
when you generate the triangular shape it may not be level if so you can press
command or control R to equal out the rulers and then drag down a guide so you
can live with the triangle that way
besides the triangle to a decent size for your work and then stretch you on
the top one here direct selection tool using guides if you need to
you
you can control click or right click on the mouse over the outboard to hide the
guides we then need to retake the triangle shape by 180 degrees or
abstract tutorial today the next steps to flick the fill over twist Road and
increase the stroke weight
when you have the right size of stroke and wait for your abstract shape in
Illustrator we then need to outline the stroke
it's an ensure that the shape is now a shape I'm not a stroke claim you can
then add a gradient to our shape and we're going to need to use in greyscale
hues today so basically a black-and-white abstract shape design we
want three color spots so add one in the middle of your gradient slider at the
save time I'm just going to show you my gradient slider here I have set it to 30
degrees middle color is basically white and the other two colors are an
off-white kind of gray color it's very subtle gradient for the abstract shape
love me today next in today's Illustrator abstract shape tutorial we're going to
block the triangle shape and then add a 3d element into where so grab the pen
tool and then choose a stroke here and add a color that you're going to be able
to see on the outer wall canvas into the tray there I'm going to draw a shape
here that's going to act like the ceiling or the inside part of the
triangle you can hold down shift and drag your mouse across to create a
perfect straight line once you've made the shape send it to the back so it
should look something like this here
to really create a 3d effect for our abstract shape another segment here on
the right again sending it to the very back
for the top section you can change it to a block fill color where the gradient
like I have chosen to do
the gradient gives a slight shadow in the corner which I think works really
well
with direct selection tool being able to move the anchor points the top section
so it joins perfectly with the other section take your time to move the point
around until you end up with something like my design here
you can hold on share to select multiple anchor points at once
yeah one last one attached add to abstract shape to make it look really D
so let's a darker shade of gray and the one on the right intersection here and
then drew in a shape that will represent a shadow you may want to zoom in really
really close to make sure your anchor points perfectly match up for your
illustrator abstract shape
next unlock all layers and select everything and resize it to a perfect
size for your work then everything's still selected hit command G or ctrl G
to group it all together or you can head up objects in group at the very top
for background you can either have a block color or you can add a gradient
remember to send it to the very back of the design
I would suggest to keep the grayscale colors for your background so it ties
into the shape design perfectly well and me personally I've decided to use a
gradient background you can choose whatever you want you can lock a
background layer once you've finished it so that doesn't get in the way which can
be quite annoying
finally I want to add some text to abstract shape design insulated iterator
tutorial
give us a typeface I've used for mine and also taken it with Mike earnings
being 1100 make sure you typography is in place perfectly and there you have it
