The pen got me started when I wanted specific shapes drawn in the same manner I used to draw them by hand.īut then, the blend tool to build upon that even further.īy creating two lines and then blending by a specified number of steps between them, I can then manipulate the position of the original lines to produce the same hand drawn curved effect that mesmerized me as a child. ![]() The pen and blend tools proved invaluable resources. This was the first full-fledged project that I set out to build from the ground up. Most of my experience in Illustrator has been in logo and advertising editing. Having used Illustrator for several years now, I can't believe it's taken me this long to spin up some of my old passions in digital form.Īs we all know, YouTube is a treasure trove for how-to tutorials, and I dove in to some Illustrator geometry wormholes before emerging with a few new tools. When my Granddaddy passed a few years ago, Mom gave me back the piece that I most recently drew for him back in 2014 when I, on a whim, decided to venture back into pen and ink for a moment. My Nana and Granddaddy commissioned me for pieces that they hung in their houses, and it gave me great joy to see them - my little pieces of art - when I would visit. I lost myself for hours drawing these things, and I absolutely had a blast. (Video walkthrough of the whole project at the bottom of this post). Sometimes a compass would join in the fun, but typically I just needed a bunch of straight lines and something to measure angles. As a kid, I had a knack for drawing geometric designs with pen, paper and a protractor. I love drawing I'm just not very good at freehand drawing. ![]()
