Illustrator makes sweet honeycomb with three-dimensional effect
Let’s take a look at the final renderings:
I. HoneycombBasics
1. Use polygon tool to draw a dark yellow hexagon with a radius of 0.6 inch (R=147 G=104 B=20)
2.为了创建出漂亮的边框,依次进入对象>路径>偏移路径,在偏移量文本框中输入4px(它会直接转换成你设置的默认计量单位)
3. Apply a linear gradient to the hexagonal border (shortcut key G). The color changes of the gradient panel from left to right are:
R=255 G=179 B=45
R=255 G=204 B=102
R=255 G=229 B=139
R=255 G=189 B=63
R=255 G=234 B=144
R=255 G=204 B=102
R=255 G=179 B=45
II. Rendering Honeycomb
1. Use the ellipse tool (L) to cover the lower part of the hexagon, and use the color (R=255 G=214 B=82) to draw a 90 ° linear gradient from 100% to 0% opacity. Select the inner hexagon and circle, use the shape generation tool (Shift-M) to select the part of the circle that does not cover the inner hexagon, deselect and delete it, and a clear semicircle is reflected on the honeycomb
