Illustrator draw a glass texture cloud icon Tutorial

To the users of the illustrator software to the detailed analysis to share a picture of a glass texture map of the course.

Tutorial Sharing:

First step

Use the Oval tool to draw a few circles (press the shift+ ellipse tool), as shown in the following figure.

Select a, b ellipse, bottom alignment (Window-alignment tool)

Second Step

Draw the shape below with the pen tool to make sure that the bottom node overlaps the bottom center point of the left and right circles (the complete cloud shape is about to complete)

Merge the shape of the cloud through the window-Path selection tool Bule (color set to blue)

Third Step

(Cmd/ctrl + c copy; Cmd/ctrl + b Paste backward to copy the shape of the cloud bule, and move the shape to the right, above each 1px (color set to red, easy to understand)

Similarly, copy the shape of the cloud bule, move to the left and the next 1px (color set to yellow)

Fourth Step

(Cmd/ctrl + c copy; Cmd/ctrl + F Paste the shape of the cloud two times to make sure the blue clouds are above the red and yellow layers.

Select the blue, Huangyun shape, through the path selection tool-minus to get the shape group: Red (note, bule layer-yellow layer =red layer, shape above)

Similarly, select the blue, Red cloud shape, path selection tool-minus, get shape Group: yellow (note, Bule layer-red layer =yellow layer, shape below)

Fifth Step

Use the Pen tool to draw the following shapes, for easy observation, to adjust the transparency of the shape

Select the Bule cloud shape above, (Cmd/ctrl + C copy; Cmd/ctrl + b Paste backwards to ensure that the bule layer below, using the path selection tool-intersect, get the dark blue layer.

(Here, the basic shape is complete)

Sixth step

Under the cloud, create a new rectangular background, and fill the white-gray radial gradient with the gradient tool (shortcut key m)

(color can be absorbed through the image below, the article finally has the source file download)

Select the blue layer of the cloud shape to fill the radial gradient color, and the color can be drawn from the image below

Set blue layer mode to soft light through appearance-opacity-blending mode.

Seventh Step

Select the red Layer group from step fourth and fill it with white.

Select the yellow layer obtained in step fourth to fill the radial gradient of gray-dark gray.

Select the dark blue layer in step fifth and fill the color with a radial gradient of white-gray-gray.

and set the blending mode to soft light.

Eighth step

Very critical, copy bule clouds, and properly adjust the node, for white layer, the color of the red, Normal mode.

Continue to copy the Bule layer, by adjusting the node to reduce the shape, modify the radial gradient color, the pattern is adjusted to normal, as follows.

Nineth Step

Select the two layers from the previous step, object-blend-Build, Object-blend-blend option, set to smooth transition, step number 30. (The value can be adjusted according to the actual effect)

(This step requires attention, mixing effect with the layer of the node has a lot of relationship, if the effect is not satisfactory, we recommend the appropriate adjustment of the layer node)

Select a blend of layer groups, set blending mode to multiply, and tick: Knockout Group

Tenth step

Draw an ellipse and fill the gradient color to grayscale: Dark gray-rgb Color: Black radial Gradient (this step is not clear, you can download the view source file).

Set the pattern for a layer to color dodge

Similarly, draw the lower point of the high light, the principle ditto.

Final effect:

Well, the above information is a small series for you illustrator of this software users brought to the detailed drawing of a glass texture map of the content of the course to share the whole, you see the users here, small series believe that we are now very clear the production method, So you guys just go ahead and make your own tutorials.
