Start by creating a 30 x 60 px rectangle using the Rectangle Tool (M). Now we can select this ellipse together with the light-brown circle and use the Minus Front function of the Pathfinder (Window > Pathfinder) to create a nice highlight on the coffee surface. Step 4ĭraw an ellipse and let’s make it overlap the cup as shown in the screenshot below. Let’s use this shape to create a highlight. Step 3Ĭreate a lighter rim around the cup and let’s fill the cup with coffee by creating a 100 x 100 px dark-brown circle.Īdd a smaller 95 x 95 px circle on top and make it much lighter. Now we can move the darker circle down a bit, depicting a shadow casted by the coffee cup. Then add a 130 x 130 px circle on top for the cup. Now add another circle ( 150 x 150 px) inside and make it darker. Make the outer circle lighter to create contrast. Let’s Copy (Control-C) the shape and Paste in Front (Control-F) and make this copy a bit smaller ( 205 x 205 px). I actually try not to make it pure white just because this way we won’t be able to add any highlights, so make it a bit more ivory instead. Take the Ellipse Tool (L), hold down Shift and create a 210 x 210 px white circle. Let’s start with the most simple item and make a saucer. Topics Covered: Shape Building, Pathfinder Panel, Offset Path, Pencil Tool.You don’t even need a drawing tablet for this one. We’ll be using the most handy tools of Adobe Illustrator while working with simple geometric shapes and doing a bit of a freehand drawing with the Pencil Tool. Let’s start our day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast by learning how to draw a simple set of two top-down view flat breakfast icons – a cup of black coffee and an egg sandwich.
