You can find the Arc Tool in the same drop-down menu as the Line Segment Tool (\). Use the Arc Tool to make an arched stroke for the cornicle. Hold Alt-Shift and drag the eye to the right, creating a copy.
Let’s add the eyes to your honey bee logo illustration! Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to make a 15×15 px dark-brown circle and place a tiny white highlight on top of it. Group (Control-G) the wings and Send to Back (Shift-Control-[), beneath the body of the bee.ĭouble-Click the Reflect Tool (O) and flip the shapes over the Vertical Axis, clicking Copy to create a mirrored group at the opposite side of the body. Copy the wing and Paste in Back (Control-C > Control-B), making a copy much smaller. Rotate and attach the wing to the body of the bee.
Select the top anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag it up, making a drop-like shape. Use the Ellipse Tool (L) while holding Shift to make a 130×130 px circle with light-blue Fill and dark-brown Stroke of 10 pt. Make another copy at the very bottom of the body and move the marked anchor points to make the shapes fit each other perfectly. Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to move the marked anchor points closer to each other, hiding them over the outline of the bee’s body. And let’s make it fit the edges of the body. Hold Alt-Shift and drag the stripe down, creating a copy. Use the Rectangle Tool (M) to make a 210×35 px shape of the same dark-brown color as our outline. Select both side anchor points as marked in the screenshot below and move them down a bit, using the down arrow key while holding Shift. Convert selected anchor point to corner from the control panel on top, making the bottom of the shape pointed. Keep using the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the bottom anchor point. You can adjust the Corner Radius from the top control panel, if you switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A). You can also use the Live Corners feature by just dragging the circle markers at the corners of the shape to its center.įinally, the same can be done from the Transform panel (Window > Transform). Make the corners fully rounded, setting the Corners to 105 px. Set the Stroke Weight to 10 pt either in the control panel on top or in the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke). Use the Rounded Rectangle Tool to make a 210×260 px shape with bright-yellow Fill and brown Stroke.
Then we’ll finish up by adding a simple sunny background. We’ll use simple geometric shapes, applying strokes and modifying our objects with the Live Corners feature and the Direct Selection Tool. Why are we buzzing about this tutorial? This how-to will give you the tools you need to create a honey bee logo, with fancy thin lines and bits of honeycomb.
