You can do that by selecting the eyes and then hitting Ctrl+C for copy and Ctrl+F for paste-in-front on your keyboard. Let's copy-and-paste in front of the eyes. Since our imaginary source of the light is above the Piggy Bank we need to make a highlight on the eyes. We will have to do that with other parts of the Piggy Bank as well. You can see how the smaller eye makes the impression of the perspective. Rotate the eyes a bit and place them on the Piggy Bank. Make them overlap and choose Unite in the Pathfinder Panel: With the help of the Ellipse Tool ( L) create two ellipses, one bigger and one smaller (set the Fill color to dark pink). Now we are going to create the eyes of the Piggy Bank. According to that light, some parts of the ellipse need to be lighter and some darker, because light causes highlights and shadows: At this point we need to imagine a source of light above our Piggy Bank. Let us add a gradient to achieve a round look. Select the Ellipse Tool ( L) from the Tool panel and create an ellipse for our Piggy Bank. Enjoy!įirst, we'll start with the body of the piggy bank. In this post we'll be learning how to create a cute pink piggy bank in perspective with the help of Adobe Illustrator CS4. That way you can achieve a nice depth effect in your illustrations. If you increase the distance between you and the object you are observing, you need to decrease the size of that object. Most of the time it helps if you have that particular object in front of you, but we still need our imagination.The most important aspects of perspective are size and distance. Many people have difficulty in drawing objects in perspective.
