![]() Now we’ll add a handle on top of the teapot. ![]() This adds a nice color variation to the scene. Start with the knob and the lid adding darker copies of these elements and using the Eraser Tool (Shift-E) to create shadows.Īs for the body of the teapot, I’ve changed the color of the shadows to dark-green so that they don’t blend with the decorative elements. Let’s add more shadows to the teapot using the same technique as we did for the spout in the Step 6. Select the first two triangles and double-click the Reflect Tool (O) in the Tools panel. Now that we have a central triangle, we can just copy and flip the first two to the other side. This way we are showing that the surface of the teapot is bent and rounded.Īdd two more triangles. Try to fit the perspective, making the triangle narrow. We could also use the Triangle Tool for this purpose and then move the anchor points around, but making the desired shape with the Pen Tool (P) is much faster in this case. Use the Pen Tool (P) to draw a small upside-down triangle at the left edge of the teapot. Now we’ll add more decorative elements to the body of the teapot. Then switch to the Eraser Tool (Shift-E) and erase about a half of the shape, so that we have a subtle shadow at the base of the teapot. Keeping the top copy selected, change its fill color to dark-turquoise. First of all, Copy (Control-C) the spout and Paste in Front (Control-F). Let’s add some simple shadows to the teapot to make it look more dimensional. Once you’re happy with the shape, press Shift-Control-[ to Send to Back. Then use the Curvature Tool (Shift-`) again to bend the long sides of the spout, making the edges arched. Start with a simple rectangle made with the Pen Tool (P). Take the Curvature Tool (Shift-`) and drag the center point of the line down a bit. Let’s make the line slightly bent to better define the volume of the teapot. We can adjust the thickness of the outline in the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke). You can use the Eyedropper Tool (I) to pick the colors from other elements. Set’s its Stroke Color to the same dark-turquoise color as we have for the lid. Take the Pen Tool (P) or the Line Segment Tool (\) and hold down Shift to create a straight horizontal line. ![]() Let’s start adding decorative elements to the teapot. We can also control the value of the Live Corners manually from the control panel on top.įinish up by adding a 15 x 15 px circle with the help of the Ellipse Tool (L). Select the top anchor points with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag the circle marker of the Live Corners closer to the center of the shape to make the corners slightly rounded. Make the color of the rectangle slightly darker than the base of the teapot and make the shape fit the flat part on the top edge of the teapot. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and let’s add a lid on top of the teapot. Repeat the same for the top part of the teapot. Hold down Alt to create a rectangular selection and drag it over the piece that you want to erase. We want to make the bottom edge flat so that our teapot can be put on the table or some other surface. Now let’s take the Eraser Tool (Shift-E) and hover over the bottom part of the ellipse to erase a small piece of it. Make sure that you’ve adjusted the length of the anchor handles for the both sides of the ellipse. Once you finish with the shape, you can get rid of the Guides in the following menu: View > Guides > Clear Guides. In order to make a Guide, fist of all turn on the Rulers (Control-R) and than click and drag the guide down from the upper ruler if you need a horizontal guide line or from the side ruler on the left if you need a vertical guide line. I’m using a horizontal Guide line (bright-blue in the screenshot) to better control the height of the anchor handles on the both sides of the ellipse. Select the right anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and shorten the anchor handles to make the point sharper. ![]() Make a 150 x 85 px turquoise shape and let’s modify the silhouette. Now take the Ellipse Tool (L) and let’s start with the teapot. Fill it with dark-purple color in the Color panel. Use the Rectangle Tool (M) to create a shape of a size of your Artboard (in my case it is 600 x 600 px) and keep it on a separate Layer in the Layers panel. I prefer to start with the background by changing it’s color to something interesting for better contrast. Topics Covered: Shape Building, Pen Tool, Eraser Tool, Stroke Panel.We’ll be using basic geometric shapes along with the Stroke options and the Pen Tool to preserve a minimalistic and well-balanced composition. In this tutorial we’ll be creating a stylized teapot scene for a warm and cozy scene in a trendy flat style. ![]()
