I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software and share with you the tutorial on creating exquisite iTunes vector icons.
Tutorial sharing:
1. Draw the basic shape
First, you need to use the vector plotting tool of javasstrtor (such as the elliptical tool and Pen tool) to draw the basic shape shown in Figure 1, or find a ready-made icon image and place it in Illustrator, describe the outline.
Figure 1
2. Draw notes
Create a smooth elliptic. As shown in Figure 2, three basic shapes are first drawn, and then filled separately to different colors from bright to dark. Select the menu command "object> hybrid> mixed options ", set "spacing" to "specified number of steps" and "number of steps" to 128. After selecting three objects, press the shortcut key Ctrl + Alt + B or execute the menu command "object> hybrid> Create ".

Reflected light
Draw an elliptical shape and fill it with black and white gradient. Make sure that the black is black (C, M, Y, K = 100) and drag it to the top of the ellipse shown in figure 2, in the opacity palette, set the mixed mode to "filter color" (if the English version is used, select "screen" as the mixed mode, some friends cannot match the "filter color" and "Screen" when reading online tutorials. Here, we will help you solve this problem), as shown in figure 3.

Highlight
Draw a long vertical rectangle and an extended elliptical shape, fill it with different colors, and use the above method to mix the two images, select the image after mixing, move to the left of the note, and press the Alt key to copy it to the right, as shown in figure 4.

3. Draw a CD
Fill the CD image with the "gradient tool" in the toolbox and set the color gradient to white to gray, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
Rainbow gradient
Draw multiple lines shown in the left graph of Figure 8 and set different stroke colors. Make sure that the first and last entries are white because they will be set to transparent. Click the edge of each line from left to right using the hybrid tool to create a rainbow gradient. The effect is shown in figure 8.
Figure 8
Mask
Use the rainbow gradient image created on the CD image mask by pressing the shortcut key Ctrl + 7 or running the menu command "object> cut mask> create" after selecting the image ". On the transparency palette, change the blending mode to "Multiply" and set "opacity" to 26%, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9
Repeat the preceding steps to create another rainbow gradient, as shown in Figure 10.

4. Draw the reflection of the notes
Draw 3 Ovans and fill them with different colors, as shown in the figure 11 on the left. Make sure that the outermost path is white, which leads to a luminous effect. Select all three paths, run the "object> hybrid> create" menu command, or press the shortcut key Ctl + Alt + B.
Figure 11
Drag the mixed image to the bottom of the Left Note. On the opacity palette, set the blending mode to "front stacked" and "opacity" to 37%, as shown in Figure 12. Hold down the Alt key and drag the chart to copy it to the bottom of the right note. Here, you may need to modify the Arrangement Order of the notes reflection by right-clicking the image and selecting "arrange> move back layer" from the pop-up menu ".

5. Draw the projection effect
The last step is to apply the projection effect to the CD image. Select the CD path, execute the menu command "effect> style> projection", and apply the settings shown in Figure 13 in the "projection" dialog box.

The final result is the final iTune icon.
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial for creating exquisite iTunes vector icons for all the users of Illustrator's software, you can see that the user here, Xiaobian believes that everyone is very clear about the drawing method, then everyone will go to follow the small series of tutorials to draw their own exquisite iTunes vector icon.
