Geometric Line Art Tutorial | Adobe Illustrator

[@Gaunc3R]

Been looking for a Method editorial like this, perfectly explained and easily executed. Thanks!

[@SParker1289]

beautiful! I love getting lost in the transform tool and creating layer after layer to make something that is just completely abstract and almost science fiction. Once you added the color gradient to it with a black background it came together and made it something that just stands out completely. It is something as simple as that, that makes it truly unique. Great job!

[@micaelgoitea8252]

I could listen to Nice tutorialm talk for hours man what a passionate dude ❤️

[@faheemkk511]

I’ve watched hours of videos and tNice tutorials one is the first that explains it in a way a complete beginner could understand! Great video

[@DestinyShiva]

Before watching the video, all I want to say is Daaaaaaaamn that intro animation is smooth. The artist did a great job on it!

[@ianlewer2328]

Beautiful !!!

[@thehumanchris]

bro that into was out of this world!!

[@nizamuddinshaikh3185]

Wow! So complex a shape and so simple to create! Only accomplished professional like you can show. Thank you very much.

[@damienabbott9805]

Thank you Stephen- that was amazing!!!

[@fizzedupslade4082]

Great little tutorial. Really liked it, thanks.

[@chromatura8008]

Those are incredible effects that you are producing with a very straightforward procedure. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@Emgeeeee]

thank you sooo much!!! little tools like this are hard to find and so useful. Appreciate it.

[@megpeterson2946]

New to Illustrator. This tutorial is amazing for complete beginners. Thanks for the fun.

[@BarryFossella]

Thanks! Great tutorial. When I went to apply the radial gradient 'Uniting' everything worked while 'Merging' didn't. Things you can learn in the tutorial are: Transform, duplicate, gradients, and more.

[@AI_KiNg4ever]

will get it. Just don't get burnt out. Whenever you need a break, take one.

[@Cantrona]

I'm not best friends with illustrator but you make a convincing argument

[@SteBradburyDesign]

hahah you'll be best buds soon enough ;)

[@mmoarchives2542]

same, not really anything illustrator does that you can't do in photoshop, but it is a fast and easy way to make logos

[@SkateIntel]

If the design is behind the square and you cant see it You must be using NO FILL! Took me forever to figure out but it is working now! Thanks the the awesome tutorial

[@Jonahbuonsantoartt]

Hey! At 8:54 how do you have so many copies but a wide gap in the center? Whenever I try to increase the size of the gap in the center of the shape, it always reduces my lines.

[@ErnestKarchmit]

You continue to blow me away with these tricks in illustrator. And i thought i knew the program well.

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Thanks man! I thought I did too, but there is always soo much to learn!

[@imanshafeeu4418]

Couldn't figure out how to ad the radial gradient, but an outstanding tutorial. Thank you

[@abenkhajou6765]

Awesome Tutorial and Results !

[@daleknowles1010]

Awesome. Just what I was looking for to make an iPhone wallpaper. Will give it a go. Cool music too!

[@artistartist3364]

Liked video and subscribed to your channel. I know already this technique, but thank you for your detailized explanation. This video is a perfect example of several options how to create a blending effect not using blend tool in Adobe Illustrator.

[@ununluckerunlucker4121]

wow, this is lovely, for 3 years using AI I didnt know this thing exists

[@musachi5999]

Thanks for the vid, you've helped me out a bunch. I'm not using Illustrator, I'm using photoshop & although the method is very different the basic principles still apply. For any of you wondering, I've discovered how to achieve a similar result in Photoshop. It requires a bit more work & figuring out yourself but I've found if you use the step & repeat function (Ctrl or Cmd+Alt+T) adjust the angle & height, hit enter then press (Ctrl or Cmd+Shift+Alt+T) pressing T as many times as you want, watch the magic happen. You can make some amazing stuff. The video really doesn't show the intricate patterns this technique can create. If anyone knows an even easier way please share.

[@IrohDesign]

Very cool, love this

[@ScottMoyse]

Super cool mate. Cheers. Gonna give this a go to see if I can create some supporting textures for a Brand I'm developing.

[@abhyhum]

[@tayballtop]

How do you make the center circle opening wider like in the final design at the end of the video?

[@nusratceesay8288]

Absolutely love this! Thank you.

[@ayelenfernandez4737]

Sorry, I have the latest version of Illustrator, could it be that the option to mark the number of copies is not there? or what should be done differently?

[@heyitsaiky]

Never knew this! This is so helpful! Got so many idea from this! Thank you!

[@SteBradburyDesign]

You're welcome! Hope to see some awesome stuff!

[@meroahmed236]

Your so detailed ! SUBBED

[@braiton9564]

Hey, when I go to transform, and do the effects you did, I think the lines get put into the background, like behind the hexagon or whichever shape. How do you get the lines to go in front as you had them to achieve the effect? Thank you!

[@braiton9564]

I have no idea what I did differently and its working now, thanks hah.

[@andressumayod]

i have the same problem. what did you?

[@braiton9564]

andressumayod literally restarted illustrator and did it again. Idk what the hell happened lol

[@ronnakornruengjunlapat5706]

[@chancemancini3076]

How do you change the background color at the end

[@chanoc455]

wow, just amazing artwork, thank you!

[@understandislaminurtduengl1104]

If I say u r Genius it would be a lie u r super genius.

[@harambewakanda]

Do you think there is a way to animate the line are so that it rotates? Probably would have to be imported into After Effects!

[@SParker1289]

I would imagine that you can import into PS and create a timeline and just rotate it....complete the 360 and loop the 'animation'.

[@mihajloradisavljevic2496]

Great tutorial! Thanks

[@murilocenovicz1475]

Hello! How could I change the lines that transform created? Like, I can change the form of the original geometric shape, but I can change the lines inside too in some way?

[@benjaminrodriguez671]

Thanks men, i start loving illustrator

[@oanacameliaburca6316]

Hi, could you make a tutorial on how to animate these shapes, for example, animate the changes that you could make a shape with an effect, for example when you adjust the sliders in transform effect, you can play around with the sliders for move, rotate, scale, and if you increase or decrease a slider gradually, then the shape changes also gradually, is there any way to animate that?

[@hafsaa9705]

Hi, I don't know if you're reading the comments on this but if you are, I hope you can help me. You know those points you see on the inside on the corners, that you used to add roundness to the shape, I don't see them. I used the direct selection tool, but I don't see that option. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using CS6

[@md.ikramurrashidshagor4401]

Awesome. You just make some great designs easy to us. Thank you very much. :)

[@kevinvernier5605]

Hello question how do you set up the fore ground ?

[@thsieh8936]

why does my transform effect happen behind my square and i can't seem to find a way to fix this. The curing affect happen behind the and around the square (the majority of the shape is one square with curling around it). Please help. Thank you.

[@99bangladesh32]

Really great

[@yanivhadar4489]

amazing vid! thanks for making

[@setareha661]

thanks this was amazing. can you also create tutorials on how to color them in illustrator? I use these to create motifs for seamless patterns, so I need to color them after. but it is not so easy to that.

[@florilabelle]

This is awesome!! Thank you so much!!

[@najiurrahman4657]

thank You sir,,, Its verry helpful

[@123tobiiboii123]

Although I grew up on tutorials like this I always wonder how it affects someones ability to progress. You can follow things like this and get great results but I can imagine it can be frustrating when you try to move past that and start generating your own concepts and ideas and see them not coming out as good. Maybe this is just a struggle I've gone through and doesn't apply to many other people. I don't mean for this to be insulting your content, I think having a mental catalogue of techniques you can pull from is good. Just a thought I had that I thought might be worth writing

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Absolutely agree with you on that! The idea is that the tutorial itself will help people to achieve this effect, but along the way, you're learning new tools and processes which you can then use maybe on something totally different to see what sort of outcomes you can get. This is exactly how I have learnt to do everything I can do, from watching tutorials about random things in illustrator, and over time, you start to see how you can use all of these different techniques and processes together to create something totally unique. It really is just a matter of experimentation, practice, persistence, and creativity. As you said, having a mental catalogue of techniques you can pull from is awesome, and that is basically what I do every time I use Illustrator. It's rare that I watch a tutorial to the end because most of the time, I can watch it up to a certain point where I know exactly how to finish it because I have used that process when I was learning something completely different. I hope that makes sense haha I feel like i was rambling on a bit haha

[@123tobiiboii123]

I totally get you, videos like these were probably a big contributor for why I got into design. Although back then it was all photoshop. It first started with people photoshopping their cars on youtube and it blowing my 11 year old mind that you could change the colour of a car. Then like people started doing youtube backgrounds and learning that you could get paid to do that stuff and that there was a word for it. They were like all super gaudy with every effect possible thrown on, Cinema 4D, lens flairs done by "GFX" artists. After going to Uni though I wonder if all those designs and things were over the top like that because they were all self-taught people that learnt techniques but had no real design thinking. I'm sure I could say that of myself during that time. Although I think the next generations of designers will probably be killing it with all these type, vector and calligraphy resources around, I do wonder if people will get worse at design thinking, coherency and generating strong concepts instead of just strong aesthetics. Things like that are the reason I get apprehensive when people say you can learn it all online and you don't need to go to Uni/College because I've found sometimes you don't know what you need to learn and know till someone guides you to it. Now look who's the one rambling lol

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Damn! i really wanted to pin that reply but I couldn't because it was a reply and not the actual comment. So where do I begin haha! Well we both started off in very similar places, if you go look at my earliest videos, they're all speed art's of me creating cartoons of famous people and cars... in photoshop haha! I did the exact same thing from there and progressed to looking at 3D work which was heavily based around the gaming industry, and doing youtube banner art and other social media banners, avatars etc. I absolutely love it when I see people using "GFX Artist" hahaha it's hilarious 😂. But yeah, then I started looking at lettering and fell in love with the skill and i've been practising it ever since. I think a lot of those 3D gaming style logos weren't necessarily bad, I mean some didn't look too bad when they weren't over-designed haha! I agree, having graduated university myself, you do come out with a much better understanding of design and all of the thinking, planning and mapping that goes into building a successful project, and I agree that this is something that is often lost when people stick to strictly online resources. Right now, I think only some things can be learnt by going to university and studying it, but maybe that will change in the future, who knows! Now we're both rambling hahaha!

[@neatdesign78]

Hi @tera, You were just taking exact mind set i went through 7-8 years ago, No I have started my own design studio. On my journey, I always take the analogy of driving car. We need to replicate hundred thousand times of what normal driver do to keep the vehicle moves. once we get used to it, then I can start do all the stunts. If we started stunt at L-plate and got crashed or embarrassed middle of the High way will lead to give up. Time vs practice is the key element of any new skills, Design is not a miracle, its a way of a thinking pattern. Similarly all other skills people having eg: business, speech, writing, athletics...etc

[@jeremy.mccarter]

When I learn a new software I take the time to go through all the menus and select one tool or effect at a time. I try and make something using only that tool, pushing it as far as it can go, exploring all it's potential. This process really cements that tool in my mind so it can be used in conjunction with other tools down the line.

[@davidharnden714]

Thanks! This is very helpful

[@ahmedch1361]

I checked - everything is clean

[@Cui_Amita]

Wow Illustrator can do this? I've used it for two years and I didn't know. Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@Moodboard39]

Cuz u not researching the tools

[@gonzo2354]

Hi i was doing the tutorial but i dont have the dots to make the edge rounded, where can i activate that?

[@saphuvanhusain4325]

Hi Gonzo.. If you happen to be working with Cs6 version you can find the option in - Effect --> Stylize --> Round corners. I think the tutorial is done with Adobe CC.

[@ane9898]

Thanks for this smart tutorial. You're awesome!

Everything works perfectly

[@melindaburns5782]

This is so awesome. Thank you for making this video. It was definitely helpful. Can you make more like this that would possibly be something that could be something used for a business? What I mean is by making a logo design or a business card or something. Maybe something to where you make this in Illustrator but you use it in a flash animation?

[@dnnysrock]

hey brother, very cool video. thank you very much. where did you learn all of this
