How do you make a heart shape in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:04 pm

Making a heart shape in Illustrator is really easy. First, create a new document with a size that is large enough to fit your heart shape. Next, use the Rectangle tool to create a Rectangle object on the artboard. Using the Anchor Point tool, anchor the top-left corner of the rectangle to the top-left corner of the artboard, and anchor the bottom-right corner of the rectangle to the bottom-right corner of the artboard.

PRO TIP: When making a heart shape in Illustrator, be sure to use the Pen tool (not the Pencil tool) to draw your shape. Otherwise, you may end up with a less than perfect heart.

Then, use the Direct Selection tool to drag the top and bottom corners of the rectangle up and down, respectively, to create the desired heart shape. Finally, use the Filters toolbar to apply the Bevel and Emboss filters, and the Stroke tool to create the desired heart outline. Congratulations, you’ve made a heart shape in Illustrator!.
