A fun tutorial

Compass from scratch, in Adobe Illustrator

I’d saved this tutorial since May, and I finally got to do it. I learned a good deal (and remembered what I’d forgotten) about Illustrator in the process. Click on the image for a closer view.

The tutorial is here.

DSED – Day 55

A

Well, folks, this Design Something Every Day endeavor has fallen by the wayside in favor of the Circadian Letters over on my calligraphy blog.

I did play around this evening with various gaudy and low-class effects on this Circadian Letter (see the original image here). Let’s see:

  1. bevelling and gradient color on the letter
  2. gradient layer behind that, partially erased with the Color Wand
  3. solid layer in front of that, and finally
  4. pattern stamped layer in front of that, with Lighter Color blending mode.

Any normal 6-year-old girl would simply love it.
