I will give you a detailed analysis of the illustrator software and share with you the tutorial on creating a linear stripe geometric design.
Tutorial sharing:
1. Create an art paint brush
To create a striped pattern, we must first consider what tools can be used to achieve it faster and faster. Because such as stripes, dots, grids ...... These basic patterns all share the commonality of repeating certain visual patterns. Therefore, we can first establish this visual pattern. The visual pattern of the stripe is the parallelism of multiple lines. Therefore, we can define the line as an art brush and use it to outline our graphics. After this idea is fixed, let's get started.
Open AI and create a 960px * pixel PX file. After the creation is successful, go to view> intelligent reference line to confirm that the intelligent reference line is selected. The intelligent reference line can help you automatically align when drawing, especially for the creation of geometric images.
Draw the first line using a rectangle tool. The line width is determined by the specific situation. Fill in black and turn off the stroke. Then, hold down the ALT key and drag the first line with the mouse to produce the second line, and arrange the second line to the right of the first line, the smart reference line will help you automatically align the two lines. After selecting the second line, you can use the shortcut key "ctrl + D" to repeat the previous operation, so that the third, fourth, fifth ,...... Root line.
Select the lines in each column to change their fill color to white. The following figure shows the linearity.
Select all the lines, find the paint toolbar button on the right of the software interface, click the drop-down menu button in the upper right corner of the panel, and select "New Paint ". If the paint toolbar button is not found in the toolbar, you can call it out in the view.
A dialog box is displayed. Select "art paint brush" and click OK. The option panel of the art paint brush appears on the interface. In the panel, I basically maintained the original default parameters and confirmed them directly.
2. Drawing with an artistic paint brush
After the art paint brush is successfully created, we can use it to create it. Of course, this is slightly different from that of a normal paint brush. We can draw a circle first. Now that we want to use the linear striped paint brush, we can imagine that these lines are changed from straight lines to lines. Just as we normally draw a circle with a pen, and now we have multiple stroke circles side by side. When you use an artistic brush, you need to open your imagination.
Therefore, now we draw a normal positive circle, turn off the circle and fill it with the stroke. Stroke size can be set to 1pt. After painting, open the paint brush toolbar and click the art paint brush you just created. This linear striped circle will soon be made.
Click edit> Preference> General. On the general panel, select scale stroke and effect ". This option allows your paint brush to change according to the original proportion as you change the image size.
After the first positive circle is created, we also need to make 3/4 circles, half circles, and 1/4 circles. There are many ways to create three types of images. In order to make the final effect more accurate, I chose to delete the anchor. You can refer to my skills to understand the principles in these skills.
First, create a semi-circle. Select the linear stripe positive circle you just painted, and click at the midpoint of the bottom right, that is, the rightmost and bottom of the pen tool to add an anchor. Then, click Select tool to keep the added anchor in the selected status. Then, click the "Delete" key on the keyboard. In this case, the 1/4 part of the circle can be deleted.
Once a good image is made, do not change the size of the image at will, because we need to use the image as a component to combine the new image to achieve seamless combination, and the image must maintain a uniform size. With this method, we can continue to make the remaining images. In addition to the circle, we can also create horizontal and vertical stripes, use a straight line tool to draw common lines, and then select the art paint brush stroke. Of course, the linear tool must be seamlessly integrated with these circles. Therefore, you need to debug the tool. Align the horizontal and vertical stripes with the circular shape. Once the size is determined, do not change it.
3. Combined graphics
It is not difficult to combine these linear stripes one by one. You can use simple operations such as rotation and replication to make the pattern you want. However, pay attention to the stacked order in this process.
The following is my process of combining images.
4. Coloring
Once the pattern is drawn, the pattern is grouped to the coloring stage. First, let's create a rectangle of the same size as the pattern. Close the stroke of the rectangle and fill it with gradient color as shown in the following figure.
Select the pattern and use the shortcut ctrl + C to copy it. Return to the gradient rectangle, select the rectangle, click the drop-down menu in the transparency panel, and select "create opacity mask" from the drop-down menu ".
The gradient rectangle disappears. In fact, it does not disappear, but it is covered by a mask. Click the selection box of the mask in the opacity panel. The selection box is black. A brown border appears around the selected box. Then, press ctrl + v to paste the pattern we just copied. Then, the colored pattern appears in the mask.
This process uses the black and white color to color the mask of the gradient board. The advantage of this coloring method is that you can change the color at any time and delete the mask to easily restore the original black and white. Hover the mouse over the thumbnail of the gradient rectangle in the opacity panel to restore the normal state from the mask editing. At this time, we can also directly delete the original black and white striped pattern.
After that, you only need to enter the gradient tool panel to modify the color of the pattern. The final result is as follows:
All right, the above information is all the content shared by the detailed tutorial on designing linear stripe geometric art pattern for the users of illustrator's software, you can see that the production method is very clear, so you can follow the tutorial above to create a linear striped geometric pattern.
