Project 3: Sun

Project 3: Sun

Project number three is about creating this Sun illustration we can see here on the bottom left and first of all for this one we need to set up a vertical and the horizontal guide that is aligned to the center of this circle. So the reason why we have to do that is because with the reflect tool we won't be able to select the center point of this shape unfortunately that's not something that illustrator allows us to do by default so first of all we have to reveal our rulers let's command or control R and now from the rulers we can start dragging one down from the top and align it to this point here and then drag a vertical guide from the left ruler and align it again to the center point like that. Now first we have to select the flame icon or object and we have to flip it horizontally. The easiest way to do this is to come to the properties panel transform section and just click on this icon here so that's looking good. Now we have to rotate this and duplicate it seven times around…
