I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software and share with you the tutorial on creating a glass texture cloud map.
Tutorial sharing:
Step 1
Use the elliptical tool to draw several circles (shift + elliptical tool), as shown in the following figure.
Select the and B Ovans and align the bottom (window-alignment tool)
Step 2
Use the pen tool to draw the following shape to ensure that the bottom node overlaps the center of the left and right sides of the circle (the complete cloud shape will be completed)
Use the window-path selection tool to merge the shape Bule of the cloud (set color to blue)
Step 3
(Cmd/Ctrl + C copy; Cmd/Ctrl + B paste back) copy the shape Bule of the cloud, and move the Shape 1 px to the right and above (set the color to red for easy understanding)
Similarly, copy the cloud shape Bule and move 1px to the left and bottom (the color is set to yellow)
Step 4
(Cmd/Ctrl + C copy; Cmd/Ctrl + F paste forward) copy the shape of the cloud twice to ensure that the blue clouds are on the red and yellow layers.
Select the blue and Yellow clouds, and select the tool-minus path to get the shape Group: Red (note: Bule layer-Yellow layer = Red layer, with the shape above)
Similarly, select the blue and Red clouds, and select the tool-minus path to get the shape Group: Yellow (note: Bule layer-Red layer = Yellow layer, and the shape is below)
Step 5
Use the pen tool to draw the following shape. To facilitate observation, you can adjust the shape transparency first.
Select the above Bule cloud shape (Cmd/Ctrl + C copy; Cmd/Ctrl + B paste back), ensure that the Bule layer is below, use the path selection tool-intersection, to obtain the deep blue layer.
(The basic shape has been completed here)
Step 6
Under the cloud, create a new rectangular background and fill the white-gray radial gradient with the gradient tool (shortcut key M).
(The color can be learned through the image below, and the source file is downloaded at the end of the article)
Select the cloud shape Blue layer and fill in the radial gradient color. Similarly, the color can be absorbed through the following picture.
Set the Blue layer mode to soft light through appearance-opacity-mixed mode.
Step 7
Select the Red layer Group in step 4 and fill it in white.
Select the Yellow layer in step 4 and fill it with a gray-dark radial gradient.
Select the dark blue layer in step 5, and fill the radial gradient with the color white-gray.
Set the hybrid mode to soft light.
Step 8
It is critical to copy the Bule cloud layer and adjust the node appropriately to the White layer. The color is White and the mode is normal.
Continue to copy the Bule layer, adjust the node to narrow down the shape, modify the radial gradient color, and adjust the mode to normal, as shown below.
Step 9
Select the two layers obtained in the previous step, and set the object-hybrid-create, object-hybrid option to smooth transition and the number of steps to 30. (The value can be adjusted based on the actual effect)
(Note that the effect of mixing has a lot to do with the nodes of the layer. If the effect is not satisfactory, we recommend that you adjust the nodes of the layer)
Select a Layer group, set the blending mode to the front pane, and select: Empty group.
Step 10
Draw an ellipse and fill the gradient color with a gray color: dark gray-RGB color: black radial gradient (this step does not understand, you can download to view the source file ).
Set the layer mode to fade
Similarly, the same principle is used to draw the highlight points below.
Final effect:
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial for the Illustrator software users to draw a glass texture cloud map, users now see the small editor here. I believe you are very clear about the drawing method. Then, you can draw the cloud icon of the glass texture according to the small editor's tutorial.
