To give you illustrator software users to detailed analysis to share a realistic painting of cosmetics packaging bottle Tutorial.
Illustrator adds a width tool from the CS5, and the CS6 begins with a gradient that can be used on the stroke. Hopefully, this tutorial will allow you to master this very useful width tool.
1, 工欲善其事, its prerequisite, first of all naturally in the color board to take a good color, and then do the relevant gradient. Forgot, the original artwork is served:
2, draw a line, fill in the gradient
Press SHIFT+W to switch to the Width tool, below this:
Yes, a gradient stroke is a CS6 feature. If it's an older version, just draw a rectangle.
The width tool can be easily adjusted into the shape of the bottle body. The gradient is also perfect in the twist of the bottle (the old version of AI can be twisted with the + sleeve)
3, plus the lid, method ibid, not clear friends can leave a message, I again screenshot come up:
4, here we have no sense of achievement, only two straight lines, Ah, has a very good effect.
The contour lines are as follows:
5, below begins to refine the lid.
Draw a rectangle and fill in the gray gradient:
By this time the lid along without the three-dimensional sense, now added to it:
Keep the rectangle behind the drawing in the selected state, new fill:
Using the transform effect, remove the new fill color up to 1pt
I show the unit here is 1mm, when you enter the value of the unit is mm, you can directly enter 1pt
AI will automatically convert to mm value.
Adjust the new fill gradient slightly, and then add a projection effect to highlight the icing:
Now it should look like this:
6. The next is refined, there is time for children's shoes can be followed to make, not even the.
The same is added a projection to the bottle body to enhance the three-dimensional sense.
There is a problem at this time, we only want to have a projection at the bottom, but with the projection, fuzzy, the bottle left and right side of the shadow.
To correct this problem, you can add a clipping mask to the bottle, which can be treated in the same way as the shadow on the top of the lid.
And then, with reflection, it's almost done:
Well, the above information is small weave for you illustrator of this software users brought to the detailed mapping of realistic cosmetic packaging bottle of the tutorial to share the full content of the You see the users here, because it's just a little practice of their own, to detail here, Several other bottles are similar to the painting, I will not draw, then you go to follow the small series of the tutorial yourself to try it.
