I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software to share with you the tutorial on creating the abstract rose effect.
Tutorial sharing:
1. Create a sketch
Step 2
First, I used my cell phone to find some photos of the bouquet and drew my favorite flower shape. The pencil is used, and the stroke width of the sketch is about 0.1. This width is very convenient, because you can see the line, but it is not too thick. No matter how many times you zoom in, you will not be overly distracted.
Sorry, you said you wouldn't sketch, so the opportunity is coming: "Blessed are non-class students! Teach you how to learn sketch from scratch.
Step 2
I fixed the image size and checked out the approximate component structure. Unlike other lines, I separate the outlines of flowers because I need to process them later.
II. Background and highlights
Step 2
When determining the background, it is best to take two colors that are a little deeper than the desired ones. In AI, it is easier to draw the focus by using bright or light colors than adding shadows. Otherwise, the screen will lack depth and bright colors.
Step 2
To highlight the color profile, I used a radial gradient. Can be a combination of multiple colors, and always set the transparent edge (opacity: 0% ). In the middle area, the opacity I set is: 50-60%. Because transparent edges are set, the color is gradually incorporated into the background. In AI, radial gradient is more convenient than built-in PS effects (effects> photo effects> blur.
Step 2
Highlight the rose with a yellow gradient. The Rose in the middle is the brightest one. I made the center a little bit, because it is the most shadow and bright petals. Gradient> opacity: 58%, transparency> strong light.
Step 2
In step 1, I created the objects to be emphasized, grouped them, moved them a little bit, and placed them on the top of the orange gradient. Because of this movement, I accidentally got a stronger color and the effect was good.
3. Draw roses
Step 2
I put a picture of the flowers next to the painting, began to draw a shadow with cold blue, and try to mode transparency> strong light. In this way, the blue color is added in a mild or subtle way.
Step 2
I applied a light yellow gradient on the flowers, saved the settings, and began to draw the details of the petals to draw the soft texture of the petals.
Step 2
I tried different colors. When there is no clear picture in your mind, you need to make various attempts. Do not forget to use transparency> saturation. This is the most interesting part of color matching and can produce unexpected results.
Color matching can be tried constantly, but you have to have enough awareness of the color system: "Quick match! 3 Practical methods to help you complete the color scheme
Step 2
In order to separate the rose from the background and make the light around the petals different from the color of the petals, I used a radial gradient. Use an eraser tool to create a rose shape. Apply gradient> general in transparent mode. When you need a smooth transition between colors, this mode is perfect and will not form a clear contrast between colors.
IV. Background decoration
Step 2
I decided to highlight the lower part, and the upper left corner is the darker part of the image. I use a gradient to make the light, and then use radial 1 (gradient> radial ). Why not use linear gradient? Even in this case, a small part of the gradient will still be displayed in the image, and the line is circle rather than straight. The line Size of this linear gradient is too big.
Step 2
I created an object (transparency> strong light, opacity: 20%) to produce a thin glass visual feel. To make images more vivid and create fantastic flowers, I used an eraser tool on the branches.
Step 2
Use (opacity: <50%) the purple and lemon yellow color of the translucent object to draw the highlights and shadows of the rose respectively.
Step 2
One of my favorite tricks is to use bright spots. Set the gradient radial (gradient> radial), and then set the slider to the center to get a large transparent edge. In this way, you can obtain a bright and clear central image. This is my method of doing bid. Now you can draw points in triangles or other simple figures.
Step 2
I used a cold color palette to gradually draw ice-like petals. Draw a contour and leave the leaves blank.
5. Create art brushes
Step 2
You can create a paint brush to add decoration. I created a dewdrop brush and made several different colors. This decorative brush can increase the originality of the image.
Step 2
To create a bead brush, draw and align circles of different sizes. If you want to use this brush a lot, you need to draw too many circles. The more elements in the brush, the more difficult the computer to calculate, the file will be overloaded, so that the computer's reaction slows down and crashes.
Combine these circle objects and hold down and drag them. A panel appears and click the art brush. It will not be changed in the next panel/menu. The brush is ready.

VI. Conclusion
Step 2
Mark all created objects except the background for grouping and selection. Then, use the eraser tool to divide the portrait into multiple parts and delete some parts. This is another interesting trick I have been using. I often use it when I lack inspiration or want to add an unusual effect. Try to adjust the different mode in the opacity or change the different positions.
Step 2
There is also an interesting technique I have been using. Use part of the image to create a fantastic filling effect. You can hide the outline, open the fill (color), and delete unnecessary parts.
Step 2
I set the rose to be more transparent, and the orange light is reflected on the rose. Now the silhouette of the ice and snow Rose is complete, and then the details are added.
Step 2
I used the gradient created previously to light up the screen and used the eraser tool to erase part of the screen. In the blue background, it creates a sense of flexibility and confusion.
Step 2
If the color is too uniform, you can add another strong contrast color. I use a lively orange rose to compare the dark stems of a rose.
Step 2
I use bright colors to emphasize edges. It is best to draw a bright color at the end, because they are very colorful. At the beginning, the painting may be distracting.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, I show some color skills in AI. Hope to help you find new inspiration and color combinations for painting, and make your drawing more diversified. My goal has always been to bring more fun to draw pictures, avoid the boundaries of feelings, and inspire others to do the same.

All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial on creating a colorful abstract rose effect for all the users of Illustrator's software, users now see this. I believe that everyone is very clear about the drawing method, so you can draw abstract roses according to the small series tutorial.
