Hello there!
I realized I haven’t been posting Illustrator tutorial on this blog as much as I would like to.
Although I have been making youtube videos on Illustrator tutorials, I haven’t been really posting it here. In today’s tutorial, we will learn how to make a simple colorful icon, which you can use for logos, cover pages or as banners for Etsy, youtube etc!
Is this Illustrator tutorial beginner friendly?
Yes! It is perfect for beginners! I show you step by step process on how to create this icon. This is what you will learn do this tutorial:
- Make a leaf shape with the Ellipse tool
- Use the line segment tool to create the veins of the leaf
- Use Pathfinder > Divide tool to divide the leaf into tiny bits
- Ungroup to ungroup the leaf and color the individual bits with your favorite color theme
- Group them together and use the rotate tool to create a mandala
- Add text in your favorite font
- And we are done!
Pin this for later!
