Create Colorful Abstract Artwork in Illustrator
Filed under Illustrator

In this tutorial, I’ll teach you how to make a colorful and vivid abstract artwork completely from scratch with Illustrator. There will be no need of stock images. You can always make a small sketch how you’d like your composition to be.
Let’s begin. Create some geometrical objects; circles, triangles, lines, spirals, etc. Place them in a fun color scheme.
With the objects you’ve just made we will be creating our entire piece. Arrange them in a fun way, so you get a nice composition. This is something you’ve got to do with your eyes and your mind. Play with them. And don’t use every object in every color.
