Would Like Some Info about Painting Petals in Illustrator

Hi there!

I have a newbie question about painting in Illustraor.

I have included a screenshot for this question. I want to have the same effect as the flower on the left, for my hand-drawn flower on the right, with respect to the painting of my petals. I want to create the same smooth and realistic style as the flower on the left, but I am not familiar with how to achieve that. Is there a special brush for this or a special technique or effect that I can use for it? Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Correct answer chanaart

Create a left or a petal and use the transformation tool to transform them...Apperance Panel...and the new Repeat menu bar (Object: Repeat)

Create a brush from the flower or a symbol!!!

Load the flower symbols into the symbol palette.

Use two or three similar symbols and check their structure.

Hi! Thanks for responding. How is this accomplished? I am a bit of a newbie and I have never heard of this before.

I will also Google search this technique as well. Thank you.

You would need to draw each petal separately, use gradients and various techniques to make a photorealistic flower in Illustrator. Are you new to the program? This is not something that is easily done.

Hi ... thanks for responding.

I have a little bit of experience with some colorization techniques. I know how to use gradients, gradient meshes, regular fills, Gaussian Blurs, and using some paint brush techniques like watercolor (which I use to "draw inside" my shapes). But I find it hard to achieve the result I am hoping for.

I have drawn each petal separately.
