Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 508 Drawing a dynamic atom symbol in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey, gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques!…Over the next couple of weeks, we're going to be…creating this atom symbol…in Adobe Illustrator.…Now, I know it looks pretty straightforward, right?…We got a circle, an ellipse, get out the Rotate tool,…five minutes later, you're done.…Well, we could work that way, but if only…as an intellectual exercise, we're going…to approach things differently.…We're going to start with these two shapes right here,…and we're going to turn the black circle…into a custom guideline, and then we're going to take…the white ellipse and we're going to turn it into…absolutely everything using Dynamic Effects…inside Illustrator.…
If you have any use for this program whatsoever,…then I think this project is going to fire your imagination.…There is so much you can do with Dynamic Effects…inside Illustrator.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, so, once again, here we are in Illustrator.…This is the point at which we're going to start,…and here is where we're going to end.…
