![]() I’ve created a large circle on the canvas to keep all the elements inside of it and to make them fit the overall circular shape. Vary the length of the shapes, make them curved and flowing. Step 7Ĭontinue using the Pencil Tool (N) to draw the tentacles. Select the created shape and press Shift-Control-[ to Send to Back, beneath the body of the jellyfish. Use the Pencil Tool (N) to draw a wavy skirt under the shape. Select its bottom anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and move it up to make the shape squashed from the bottom. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to make a 65 x 55 px light-blue ellipse. If some parts of the lines look broken, fix the anchor points by clicking the Convert selected anchor points to smooth in the control panel on top.ĭecorate the starfish with circles of different sizes using the Ellipse Tool (L) while holding down the Shift key. Keep making the beams arched with the Curvature Tool (Shift-`). Use the Curvature Tool (Shift-`) to click and bend the edges. Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the anchor points and drag the beams to make them longer or shorter.įinally, let’s make the beams look more organic by making them more arched. Let’s break the symmetry by varying the length of the star beams. Drag the circle marker of the Live Corners closer to the center to make the corners slightly rounded. Select the star and switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A). You can hold down the Control key while creating the shape to set the length of the beams. Find the Star Tool in the Tools panel (in the same menu as the Rectangle Tool (M)) and double-click the Star Tool icon to set the number of Points to 5.ĭraw a star. Let’s create a simple starfish from a basic shape. Try to make your elements fit each other as well and fill the empty spaces of the canvas with matching shapes. Notice how I’m making the silhouette of the second leaf fit the curved edge of the first leaf. Use the Pencil Tool (N) and the Blob Brush Tool (Shift-B) to draw another leaf next to the fist one. Finish up with the leaf by adding small strokes around it. Make a stroke to draw a midriff in the middle of the leaf and add some veins as well. Set the Fidelity slider closer to Smooth and set the brush Size to about 2 pt to make thin lines. This time we’ll be using the Blob Brush Tool (Shift-B), so let’s adjust it’s settings as well by double-clicking it’s icon in the Tools panel. Find some photos of seaweed or tropical leaves if you need visual references. Don’t make it symmetrical, try to make it look more organic. You can see my settings of the Pencil Tool (N) in the image below. If you want your lines to be smoother, then move the slider more to the Smooth side. Double-click the tool icon in the Tools panel and set the Fidelity slider to about 50%. First of all, let’s adjust the settings of the Pencil Tool (N) that we’ll be using to draw the leaf. ![]() ![]() Let’s start with the first element of our ocean design- a seaweed leaf. Topics Covered: Shape Building, Paintbrush Tool, Blob Brush Tool, Pencil Tool.We’ll be using basic geometric shapes as well as creating our own brushes and doing some freehand drawing to create a unique ocean design. ![]() In this tutorial we’ll be making a nautical scene with underwater elements.
