Hey guys this is Kent and you're watching Diographics. Today I want to show you how to create this very simple sunflower inside Adobe Illustrator. So the first thing we want to do is go to View, then go to Show Grid, then go to View again and Snap to Grid. Now go to the Ellipse tool, then on the top of the paper you want to draw an ellipse that is 2 squares tall and 1 square wide. Now go to the Selection tool, drag it so that the middle of the ellipse aligns with this line right here and the bottom of the ellipse aligns with this line right here. Now with the arrow keys, notch it down 3 steps, 1, 2, 3. Now go to the Rotate tool over here, hold down the Alt key and then drag this cross down to this cross right here. Then put in 45 degrees and click Copy. This will make a copy that is rotated 45 degrees from this point right here. Now hold down Ctrl if you want Windows or Command if you want Mac and click D and do this until the circle completes. I will click the Selection tool, select all these leaves and now we want to give them a color. I have prepared some swatches that you can download down in the description. When they are downloaded you want to go to Swatches, go to this menu right here and click Open Swatch Library and other libraries. Then you want to select them wherever you keep them on your computer. I have them right here. Open and now you have this pop up with all the swatches. Now go to the Stroke, select None, go to Fill and select this Dark Orange color. Then go to the Rotate tool again, hold down the Alt key and click in the middle of the circle. Now you want to select half of 45 degrees which is 22.5. Then click Copy again. This will copy all the leaves and rotate them so they fit in between the other leaves. Now select the yellow color for these leaves. Select the Ellipse tool again, draw an ellipse that is 2 squares tall and 2 squares wide. Make this ellipse brown. Go to the Selection tool and drag it into the middle of the leaves like this. Now for the stem you want to go to the Rectangle tool, go to the middle of this line and go one small square out. Then draw a rectangle that is 4 squares tall and 2 small squares wide. So the middle of this rectangle aligns with this line right here. Pick the live green color for this one. Now go to the Selection tool and drag the stem up so that the top of the stem aligns with this line right here. Right click on the stem, go to Arrange and send to Back. Now you want to go to this exact leaf, select it, hold down the Alt key to duplicate and drag it down here. And place it where I want it. I will place it here. Now go to this exact leaf, select it, hold down the Alt key to duplicate and drag it down here. And place it. Now hold down the Shift key to select both of these leaves and give them the dark green color. Now right click the leaves, arrange and send to Back. And this is how you draw a sunflower inside Adobe Illustrator. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up or subscribe to my channel if you want to see more of these graphic design tutorials.
