Distort Text - Illustrator tutorial

Category: Illustrator tutorials > Text Effects - Difficulty:

This is an extension to my original Floral Tutorial. It should offer a better understanding of how to do florials that are a little more detailed then simple vectors. Since there is a lot of material in this tutorial I’m going to move through it as quickly, and painlessly, as possible while attempting to keep it at a beginner level. However, intermediate level users may still find it of interest too.

By firstly using the power of pen and paper a character design is created, which is then scanned into the computer to use as a base for tracing with Adobe Illustrator. The final outcome is a colourful cartoon character in vector format!

Here I will show you how to make a flower using some slightly more advanced techniques.
