Make a Flower in Adobe Illustrator

This tutorial shows you how to make a flower in Adobe Illustrator.

Steps

  1. To make a petal, open a new document and go to Ellipse Tool to create an ellipse, measuring it to 240x180px
  2. Use Direct Selection Tool to adjust it to a petal form
  3. Make until it looks like a form in a picture. It's will be our flower leaf
  4. Colored it by use Gradient Tool, set the colors to the following: first color at position R = 234, G = 226, B =163; second color at position R = 236, G = 200,B = 124; third color at position, R = 239, G = 107, B = 124 set the stroke none(you can change color if you want) use radial mode. Now, you will have the first petal
  5. We will copy a petal to make it to be a flower, select the petal and choose Rotate Tool, hold an Alt button and click at center of flower(about center, by this I mean a point that all of your leaf will turn around), type 72 in an angle box and click copy
  6. We will see a new petal appears beside the first in the angle you set. Press Ctrl and D button to duplicate your leaf
  7. You will got a complete flower form.
  8. To make it more completely, we should add the pollen at center , by this I use Star Tool and set radious1 70px , radious2 150px and point 20
  9. Colored your pollen by use Gradient Tool, set the colors to the following: first color at position R = 250, G = 210, B =95; second color at position R = 235, G = 240,B = 120; third color at position, R = 225, G = 225, B = 225 set the stroke none, position it to the center of flower.
