OK, guys, I know that the first tutorial on creating swirls in AI was not the best tutorial on the topic and it just screamed for improvement.

So, we did some. We did a video, accompanied with some fine ambient music (thanks Rach!)

Please note, before starting the video and really learn how make a swirl in Adobe Illustrator you will need to:

1. Open Adobe Illustrator
2. Make sure that your mouse is always close to the “Pause” button.
3. Click “Pause” after each action taken on the video.
4. Do the same on your computer

Video is accompanied with titles explaining what has been done each step of the way.

This is the first part. In next part we will add a branch to the swirl. And we’ll see where to go from there.

I hope you’ll like it!

P.S.

If you need some cool vector swirls with commercial license and just don’t have enough time to do ‘em by yourself, check for some cheap swirls vector sets in graphics-illustrations.com shop. You just might be surprised how good they look ->

Gee, I’m on Photoshopping spree these days. Well, what can I say? When Muse lands up on your shoulder you must seize the opportunity. Otherwise, who knows when we she land again. :) This time I prepared an appetizing specialty (am I saying this cause I’d really enjoy a cake at this moment?) for our beloved scrapbookers and everyone else who enjoys happy events and celebrations of all kinds. So here they are, in their glory - 10 Stickers Photoshop brushes for you to apply them in your mini celebration projects and the big ones too! Do I need to mention that they’re free? Nope. I didn’t think so :)

Use them to deliver your best wishes, in your scrapbooking projects (or any other occasion). There are 5 stickers with wordings (Happy birthday (2x), Happy Anniversary, Best wishes and Get well soon) and 5 without wordings so you can put there anything you like! For instance, instead of “Get well soon” you can put “Lose weight soon” :)) Oh, that’s just me talking to my self. No cookies, no chocolate … I’ll make a “Lose weight soon” sticker… for myself…
