Does anyone know how I would create something like this in Illustrator?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark the center with guides.

 

Make a blend between two lines.

 

 

 

Important: They are both horizontal. Both have the transform effect applied. One of them with the settings:

 

The blend looks like this

Apply a clipping mask to make the lines look like this:

 

 

Make a symbol out of that in order to not ruin it with the transform effect.

Then duplicate and rotate:

 

Put a black circle in front

Can i ask how did you blend to get the lines with a nice curve?

See my version.

This is the part which I'm getting lost. 

Would you be able to show me step by step how you did this? did you have specfic blend options?

 

Thank you.


Thanks Monika for explaining. 


This is what happens to my lines when I transform both of them using your settings.
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I transform separately or at the same time?

 

Very strange why this is happening.

Can you help?
