\nSeveral days ago, my wife left town for a business trip to St. Louis. And she gave me a daily chore. She told me to water her Oxeye daisies at the yard once a day. Oops… I totally forgot about it. And her daisies are pretty much dead. When I forgot to water her flowers last time, I had to sleep on a couch for 5 days. Well, I guess I have to get on my iMac. So I launch Adobe Illustrator CS2. In a matter of 10 minutes or so, I somehow managed to revive her daisies.<\/p>\n

The following tutorial shows simple steps to design Oxeye daisies, using Adobe Illustrator CS2.

  1. After drawing a circle with Ellipse Tool<\/strong>, choose Distort & Transform<\/strong> > Pucker & Bloat<\/strong> under Effect<\/strong>. Adjust the percentage to 100.\n
  2. Next, copy, paste and rotate the object. Repeat this sequence several times.<\/li>\n
  3. By this way, you may have applied fill colors to petals. Select them all and apply none. Then apply Expand Appearances<\/strong> while they are active. Then use Direct Select Tool<\/strong> to grab handles and adjust the size of each petal for some variation.<\/li>\n
  4. You can now apply fill colors. Apply gradient colors with white and gray a little bit differently to each set of petals.<\/li>\n
  5. Next, let’s create the middle part of the blossom. Pick up Polar Grid Tool. Give large numbers to Concentric Dividers<\/strong> and Radial Dividers<\/strong>. Apply both fill color and stroke.<\/li>\n
  6. Finally, you may want to apply Outer Glow<\/strong> after selecting all sets of petals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
