How to Create a Dotted Spiral in Illustrator

[@mein.likhari]

I figured out that we can actually make same pattern by first making spiral, and then setting dashed line ( round ends ) and finishing touch Width Tool by adjusting stroke. But the problem is distance between circles. I'm happy that i found another way to make similar patterns like this. But this one is perfect. Thank you Dansky for ur tutorials :)

thanks mate! I'm working with Illustrator for ages but this replace spine trick was new to me :)

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful ✌️

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

I did buffaloes starting small going large and rotated in between. THANK YOU. Hugely helpful, you are a great teacher. Nice to be able to double click the spiral and end graphics to resize and adjust!

[@orange11squares]

you can get a similar effect with -dashed line- on a spiral, with stroke and gap 20, dash 0, rounded corners. You can have circle, squares etc.

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks Mariam :D

[@jaqenhghar661]

@@ForeverDansky how can I make the smaller circles inside the spiral (and kinda overlapping), then gradually gets bigger and far apart from each other toward the outside of the spiral ?

[@lemonesnicket]

Nicely done!

How do you make the space between each circle an even distance?

[@FredPecheur]

So many time was looking for that so any shape can follow any personal path

[@aukselukosiuniene4544]

Yours every video tutorials helps me a lot! I am so happy! :))

[@vittorianesse]

How do you set the distance between each circle evenly, regardless of scale?

[@timh112]

Great tutorial. Clear and concise.

[@kaymcfarland8656]

This was so easy the way you explained it. Is there a way to make each dot a different color as well?

[@getitmade5984]

This tutorial is so easy to follow and helpful, thank you!

WOW THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[@CollabCafe]

Thanks man.

[@kris10bee1]

This is great thank you. Is it possible to start the dots tiny, then expand to large and then contract back to tiny? Also, how do you tighten the spiral and lengthen it?

[@mr.k905]

Thanks for the video. Is it somehow possible to adjust the spaces between the dots so they become regular? Thanks

[@zinsk43]

Great tutorial, thank you for posting!

[@Serenity-mr8ro]

Thank you so much! Been looking for a way to do this.

[@jhansisimhadri9260]

very clearly explain your tutorial thank your so much brother

[@jameschester9402]

Hi, Is there a way of making a similar effect but instead of decreasing the size of the circles to give it a 'Halftone' effect. Keeping the shape the same size and gradually increasing the spacing to make the pattern look like it is slowing down? Can't find an answer to this anywhere on the internet. Thanks

[@Stevefluidcoach]

This is awesome. Now I have a colouring question for you. How would you apply a gradient to this so the top would be one colour and the bottom another. When I do this my gradient applies to the original dot and that is repeated. I want to gradient the whole spiral?

[@midn1949]

I'm almost certain back in college I was told a way to do something but I can't remember how or if I have my programs mixed up. Bottom line is there a way to do numbers for like raffle tickets that progress up like that?

[@boodytorky2708]

Hi Dansky, when I am do same thing with Ellipse tool it does not fill the shape.

[@MAYA1111-AAA]

Amazing

[@phrull02]

Hi! Is possible to transform each dot in objects?

[@wojciechkuc449]

Hi Dansky! What if option "Replace Spine" is not available? I followed all the steps, then I select spirar and dots and go to Object > Blend this option is in grey (I can't select it). Thanks for help in advance!

[@davidherrera6423]

I had the same problem but it worked selecting the Circles and then the Spiral with shift button

[@wojciechkuc449]

Thanks David!

[@bynumjimmy]

The circles have to be the most forward of the selection.

[@nuralomhossain3072]

thanks bro...

[@Luciano_mp]

Muito bom. Obrigado.

[@manishbaruah7643]

Great tutorial. I wanted to ask if we can color all the different circles with different colors?

[@TrumblebeeMom]

I'm no expert, but I think that if you expand the appearance you may then change the color of the dots individually.

[@bishalscreation9793]

Hi dan thanks ! It doesn't work in cs6 does it?

I know this came out 3 years ago, but "Lets just move that tip into position" is definitely Dansky's dirty talking lmaoo

[@mohamedakl9159]

Thank you,,,,,,

[@josefmetzger7317]

I tried to do this with a circle but all I get is a 3/4 circle. What am I doing wrong?

[@Cindy-cy8sk]

They've change this. If you up arrow or down arrow it will increase or decrease the amount of lines and keep them pretty close to being separated distance the same.

[@RJLpt]

I hate how the interval between each circle does not remain the same in the entire spiral. :(
