Illustrating the Flower Pattern 247
Since Web Designer Wall was launched last week, I received several emails regarding on how I made the main illustration background. I thought I should put up a quick Illustrator tutorial so everyone can share. This article will outline the main steps on how I made the flower pattern in Illustrator. Hopefully, this can answer your question.
1. Sketch
Always draw your illustration on paper first. This will save your time.
2. Trace
The illustration was traced in Adobe Illustrator using my favorite tracing technique. First, import the scan in Illustrator and set Layer Opacity to 20%.
3. Coloring
After you've done the tracing, go to Colourlovers.com (or any color palette sites) and find the color themes that you like. What I did was copy the sample image from the site, then paste it directly in Illustrator.
With the Eyedropper tool active, select the path, then click on the image to pick the color. That's it. Quick and easy.

I definitely see why Apple want to skip this step and move directly to streaming media, but white iphone 4 not there yet
The modern and delicate makes iphone 4 white so charming that even me, want to own one. But what i can do now, is to wait the price to decline.
Thank you!! Very helpful, great technique and great explanation. And looks beautiful!!
That is to be expected in a long-term, high-risk project like ours. So, we turned to the blogging community for help – and got it! We have published our problems, and the community responded with results!cheap ugg boots
