To give you illustrator software users to detailed analysis of the three-dimensional spring drawing effect of the tutorial.
Step 1th to create a new document. RGB color mode.
Next, create a background. Use the Rectangle tool (M) to create a rectangle, filled with black. (You can lock the background directly with ctrl+2.) )
Step 2nd creates a path that looks like the letter S, uses the Ellipse tool (L), creates a circle, no fill, and a white stroke color.
Next find the object > Transform > Move, use the move to copy the entire other circle, and then click the Copy button in the dialog box.
The 3rd step uses the direct Selection tool (a) to select the circle at point A,
Then press the DELETE key and B to the same step.
The 4th step uses the Lasso tool (Q) to select the overlapping area of the two paths and then go to the object > Path > Connection (COMMAND + J). Connect two paths to one path.
Draw straight segments with the pen tool (P), a path to the upper and lower parts.
The 5th step uses the Ellipse tool (L) to create three circles of the same size and different colors. The center of the circle should be in the S-shaped path of point a,b and C. Then go to the Object ">" Arrange ">" to place the top layer. The three circles will be placed at the top level.
Go to object > Blend > Blending options, specify the number of steps in the dialog box.
Next select the S path to cancel the stroke, select the s path and 3 circles, then go to the Object > Mix > Build.
If you are not satisfied with the result. can make some changes. Select Mixed object to Object > Mix > Release. Add two more circles, and the newly added circle diameter is slightly reduced (free transform tool (E)). Keep in mind that the S-shaped path must be above all the circles.
Then go to Object > Mix > Build.
Step 8th Select all the circles (click the circle after the path in the layers panel and the representation of the double circle is already selected)
Then go to object > path > Contour Stroke
Next we can do a radial gradient for the individual contour.
All circles are as good as (this picture is the original tutorial diagram, I can't intercept the graph with control bar)
Add some lighting effects. Select a black square, then go to the object > create the gradient grid, and set the number of rows and columns in the dialog box. (Unlock black square ctrl+alt+2)
Use the Direct selection tool (A) to add color to Grid A and point B.
Create a circle, make a radial gradient fill, and then apply the color Dodge blending mode of the transparency panel to add a sense of space to the screen.
Finally create a shadow, create a circle, and use the Ellipse tool (L) to fill the radial gradient from black to white. The blending mode is a positive overlay. The final effect is as shown
The final effect is as shown:
Okay, the above information is small make up to you illustrator this software users of the detailed drawing of the three-dimensional spring pattern effect of the tutorial to share the whole content, you see the users here, small series believe that we are now very clear how to draw the bar, Then everyone will go to follow the small series of the tutorial themselves to draw a three-dimensional spring pattern bar.
