To give you illustrator software users to detailed analysis to share the creation of 3D polygon Paper Art ice cream Tutorial.
The points we will be learning in this tutorial are:
1 Application of dot Brush tool
3) The application of texture
One, hand-painted modeling
The so-called hand-painted modeling, in fact, is just a way to enhance their own force. Basically, it's like sketching, drawing outlines, determining shadows and high light.
Open the AI software, create a new document, document size 800px*800px. Use the Spot Brush tool first, draw the manuscript with the hand-drawn board. The role of the manuscript is only a basic shape, and ultimately does not participate in the screen, so you can create a new layer, the hand-drawn part of the independent, so that when not to close the layer.
Many people may ask why the DOT brush tool is used here, not the brush tool. When you double-click the Blob Brush tool icon with the left mouse button, the BLOB brush tool option pops up. In the panel, you can set the pressure on the brush accordingly. In addition, the BLOB Brush tool draws a line that is a closed fill path, and if you want to be a padded path with other brush tools, you need to extend the appearance.
Sketch the outline of the ice cream on the canvas, because what we do is the effect of polygon paper, I will use the black 1pt straight line to draw.
Second, the pen draws the polygon
Draw polygons on the side lines you outline, and the polygons must be kept in a closed path for the next fill. Create a new layer to differentiate the polygon layer from the freehand draft drawn in the previous step, and lock the hand-drawn layers.
In the article I used to write low poly series (i)--self-made lower polygon background and teaching you to draw Wpap portrait painting have a similar interpretation, we have time to see.
First, make sure that the smart Guide is turned on, and if not, you can use the shortcut key ctrl+u to open it. Fill Select white, stroke is black 1pt. Then use the Pen tool and start drawing with the contour line just sketched. If you find this overlapping visually confusing, you can unlock the hand drawing layer, select the freehand pattern, and then go to the Appearance panel to change the fill color and make the fill another easily distinguishable color.
Smart guides can help you automatically align the intersection and anchor points of each path.
If you are not satisfied with your styling, you can use the direct selection tool to move and adjust an anchor point individually, but keep the whole picture "seamless".
When we draw a sketch, the most expressive three-dimensional is the high light and shadow. This is no exception. But if only the black and white shadow transition is too dull after all. So, we can first choose a simple set of color, on the color board slowly debugging.
Here I choose two of the most important colors, one is the cone of ice cream and the part of the ice cream. The primary color is the two colors, and other high light shadow colors can be debugged based on both colors. The picture below is my color, I decided to draw a tea-flavored ice cream, of course, you can also draw strawberry or chocolate-flavored ice cream.
Before I fill in the color, I'll set the light in the upper-right corner. Then use the meat and pink to gradually fill the portion of the omelet. Remember to turn off the black strokes when filling the color. The direction of the gradient varies according to the light source, you need a brain supplement. There is a change in the brightness of the paper in the reality.
With the meat pink fill the gradient, you can use the gradient tool to adjust the appropriate linear gradient direction. Select the appropriate color for the gradient.
We can add some texture to the cone because it looks rather monotonous. For example, I'm here to add a lattice texture to it. Lattice textures can be made by themselves. First of all, using a straight line tool to draw a 1pt white line, duplicate a parallel, and then use the Ctrl+d shortcut to repeat the previous step of the operation, so that the horizontal parallel lines are drawn, using the same way in the portrait also draw the same parallel lines, so that the white lattice.
After the lattice is grouped, the lattice texture is slightly rotated to make it visually rationalized. Because you want to use it two times, the lattice can be reproduced with a copy placed on the canvas and reserved.
Remember that this must be the stacking order below where the shape is placed above the texture, because we want to create a clipping mask. Do you remember the clipping masks? In my article natural fresh! To teach you to draw a texture vector landscape has been introduced and used the clipping mask, if you are not very familiar with, you can go to detailed understanding.
Make a copy of the shape you want to use the texture, place it at the top, select the copied shape and the texture underneath it, and go to the object > clipping mask > Build
Use the same method to make an omelet on the other side. Pull the spare grid over. After another clipping mask is complete, you can add a white line to the two-shape demarcation strip.
Fill Color-ice cream ball part
Ice cream Ball I used the Pentagon of the surface as the basis of the modelling, in the fill color, only need to consider color and light. But it is not so simple, in the light of the transition in the grasp, subtle chromatic aberration will cause the entire picture imbalance, so the treatment needs to be thoroughly tempered.
Come to this step and you can use your imagination to add some of the decorations you like. For example, I add color bar icing here.
First draw a sugar cream, the use of rounded rectangle tool, draw a long 12px, high 2px, rectangular radius of 1px shape, close the stroke, fill color can choose fluorescent color, as far as possible to choose and green ice cream ball contrast larger color.
Then use copy and paste, the appropriate change in the size of the rectangle, angle and color, the use of replication to create a gathered effect, will soon be able to get a piece of frosting.
Place this set of decorations above the ice cream ball. The final decoration after the effect of the following figure.
You can change the color and decoration of the ice cream ball and make other "flavors" of ice cream.
Well, the above information is small make up to you illustrator of this software users to bring the detailed 3D polygon paper Art of the course of the analysis of ice cream to share the whole content, you see the users here, ice cream ball is just a simple shape, You can try some relatively complex composition when you make it, this will be more interesting oh, now we go to follow the tutorial on their own to draw the next bar.
