\nA few months ago, I went to a local garden nursery to get some roses for our 8th wedding anniversary. They had roses in several different colors like white, yellow, orange and purple. I asked a clerk “Don’t you have red roses?” And he just said “No.” I was shocked. Roses are supposed to red. My wife hate yellow roses, anyway. As usual, I had no choice, you know? So I got MacBook out of my backpack and launched Adobe Illustrator CS2. In a matter of 5 minutes ago, I created a red rose.<\/p>\n

The following tutorial shows simple steps to design a rose with Adobe Illustrator CS2. The photo used in this tutorial comes from WebShot<\/a>.

  1. Let’s first use Polar Grid Tool<\/strong> to draw a group of several circles.\n
  2. The next step is to fill the circles with gradient colors. And set the gradient type to Radial<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. You don’t want to manually adjust the locations of anchor points to reshape the circles. First, add two sets (or more) of anchor points by pressing Command + Option + Shift + A while all circles except the outermost one are selected with Direct Selection Tool<\/strong>. Then choose Distort & Transform<\/strong> > Tweak<\/strong> under Effect<\/strong>. Tweak will roughen the shapes nicely.<\/li>\n
  4. Next, select the outermost circle with Direct Selection Tool and apply Tweak and Roughen after adding anchor points.<\/li>\n
  5. The last thing I would do is to accentuate the border of each ring by applying Style<\/strong> > Inner Glow<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. It won’t be easy to assimilate an Illustrator object into a Photo, but you may want to use Photoshop or whatever to lower saturation and adjust light a little bit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
