Create On-Trend Flat Type with a Nautical Theme in Adobe Illustrator

Gabriela Di Sarli commented with her result from a nautical themed tutorial by . She added:

“I had a really hard time with the pattern brush. I followed directions but was having difficulty so I tried making the separate groups into pattern swatches and then making the brush which worked better but I still had a half a ‘pill’ shape hanging out on the outside of the Right End of the brush. Could not for the life of me figure it out. Maybe some things have changed in CSS so that could be the disconnect. Thanks so much for the tutorial!”

How to Draw a Fall Leaf Using Adobe Illustrator

JooYoonChung commented with their own take on a realistic fall leaf tutorial by . They added:

“I decided to do the stem a different way, using a pen-drawn path with a gradient stroke aligned along the path. I used the stroke width tool to vary the widths, then outlined and expanded the stem to get a gradient mesh, which I adjusted the colors of to get some depth.

All in all, excellent tutorial. Takes a bit of time (a couple of hours, for me), but it’s well worth it!”
