                     In this section, you will learn how to create a butterfly using basic shapes and tools in Adobe
                     Illustrator. By following the step-by-step  instructions,  you  will  design  the butterfly’s  body,
                     antennas, wings, and patterns, and apply colors to bring your artwork to life.

                     DESIGNING A BUTTERFLY IN ILLUSTRATOR

                     Let’s start by creating a butterfly using basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator. Follow these steps:

                     Step  1   Open Adobe Illustrator and create new document.

                     Step  2   Select the Pen tool     , click to place anchor points, curve the middle, and close the
                               shape to form the thorax and abdomen.
                     Step  3   Select the Pen tool (P), click to place the first anchor point near the head, then click

                               again and curve it slightly to create a smooth, curved antenna.

                               Repeat the process on the other side to create a symmetrical second antenna.
                     Step  4   Select  the  Pen tool (P), click  on  the  artboard  to  place  the  first  Anchor  Point tool
                               (Shift + C), then click again and drag slightly to curve the shape, forming the first wing.

                                                                                             Digital Flat Animals Design  99
