Let's give you a detailed analysis of how to create a complex and beautiful mandala pattern.
Tutorial sharing:
Create a new aifile, select the polygon tool, and click the canvas. In the displayed polygon dialog box, enter the number of edges. The more edges, the finer the final pattern. Enter 12 edges and set the radius to approximately 100mm.
Open the intelligent reference line (CMD + U), connect each vertex of the polygon with a linear tool, and use a green reference line to determine the vertex.
Select all objects, and then click path finder-split to split the polygon into 12 triangles.
Right-click to ungroup and divide the image into 12 parts.
Leave a triangle and delete others. Then, click the new symbol to add the image to the symbol window.
Click View-outline, select rotation tool, press ALT, and click the vertex of the triangle at the same time. In the rotation window, enter 30 ° (° border (number of edges) 12 = 30 ° ), click copy.
Return to the preview mode (view-preview), and then use the new shortcut CMD + D to generate another 11 triangle symbols to get the shape of the original polygon.
Double-click the first triangle to edit the symbol. The pop-up warning window provides a description of this function: any edits made to a symbol will be applied to all its instances, that is, we only need to create a pattern in one symbol, and then it will be copied to all symbols to form a complete pattern.
Remove the stroke of the triangle and lock it to avoid accidental movement. Draw a reference line that passes through the graph center.
Set a rounded corner style with a black 2pt stroke, and draw a pattern between the outline of the symbol and the reference line in area 1/2 with the line tool and the arc tool. Use a smart reference line to determine that the line and the arc endpoint are aligned on the reference line contour or vertex.
Dotted lines can add interesting effects to the design. Select the dotted line in the stroke option, and enter the dotted line 0pt with a gap of about 4 Pt.
When using an arc tool, press the F key to flip the arc direction. Different arcs drawn from one point can also add interesting effects. Use an elliptical tool to add some basic circles to fill the gap.
Continue to fill the half with a random pattern. Although the filled pattern and color can enhance the final effect of the design, you can use only one thick stroke to achieve a complicated Haina art style.
Select all paths and copy and paste them. Click object-transform-symmetry and select vertical.
Drag the copied image in the file so that it can fill the other half of the symbol and ensure that their endpoints are perfectly connected in the intermediate reference line.
Click the arrow in the upper-left corner of the file window to exit the symbol editing mode. Other instances of the symbol will immediately copy the symbol and complete the design.
If you need to edit or fine-tune your design, double-click the symbol and return to the editing mode. Delete the copied group and modify the original path. Use the original method to resymmetry. Then exit the editing mode to view the final modification result.
It is very exciting to see some simple lines that can be combined into such a beautiful pattern. When a pattern is taken as a whole, it is difficult to tell the original path.
The final result is a beautiful and complex Haina-style mandala pattern that looks boring for several hours, because we use the symbol function of Illustrator, we only need to draw a few random lines to form a small part.
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial for creating complicated and beautiful mandala pattern effects for all the users of Illustrator's software, users now see this. I believe that you are very clear about the drawing method. Then, you can draw a beautiful mandala pattern by yourself according to the small series tutorial.
