Final effect






1. determine the pivot relationship of the icon.

First, use simple lines to determine the space location relationship of the icon. this method is also known as line perspective in aesthetics, which is the primary key step of drawing, it helps us draw a three-dimensional icon accurately.


2. outline the overall outline and shape of the icon.

Use shape tools such as "elliptical", "rectangle", and "pen" to outline the overall shape of the icon. Note that the shape is used here, rather than the path, to ensure that the output icon is vectorized, the advantage of vector is that zoom in and out can still ensure the icon quality.



3. create a shell.

Determine the direction of the light. under the influence of the light, different parts of the icon will have different degrees of light and shade changes. the light hitting method of the icon generally has the upper left corner, the upper right corner, and vertical lighting. This icon is highlighted in the upper left corner.



4. depict the lamps.

One of the difficulties of this icon during the production of the lamps is to focus on the changes in the relationship between components under the influence of the light source. This step is mainly to be patient and careful.




5. portray the bracket part.

The relationship between light and shade in the bracket is similar to that in the front. in addition to adding a mask and wiping it with a paint brush, smart colleagues also found that combining "constituency" with "feathers" is also a good choice.
