How do you make a flat illustration in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:15 pm

Making a flat illustration in Illustrator is relatively easy. The first thing you need to do is create a new document in Illustrator.

You can choose any size you want, but I recommend creating a document that is at least 300 pixels wide by 500 pixels high.

Next, you need to create a new file in Illustrator and choose the ellipse tool. You can either select theEllipse tool from the toolbar or click the ellipse button in the toolbar and select the Ellipse tool from the fly-out menu.

Once you have selected the ellipse tool, you will need to click on the artboard to select it and then click on the center of the ellipse. You will then need to choose the Options bar and click on the Paths tab.

Next, you will need to click on the New Path button and choose the Straight Line tool. You will then need to click on the artboard to select it and then click on the center of the ellipse.

PRO TIP: When creating a flat illustration in Illustrator, be sure to use the pen tool to create your shapes. If you use the pencil tool, your shapes will not be as precise and clean.

You will then need to drag the mouse pointer across the page until the line you just created is exactly in the center of the ellipse.

You can now choose the Stroke button from the Options bar and click on the line you just created. You will then need to choose the Properties button and click on the Color button.

You will then need to select the Rgba property and click on the OK button. You will then need to choose the Properties button and click on the Width button.

You will then need to enter in the value of 1 and click on the OK button. You will then need to choose the Properties button and click on the Height button.

Your final step is to choose the Save button from the File menu and name your file whatever you want.

Congratulations, you have now created a flat illustration in Illustrator!.
