Make see-through surfaces
Filed under Illustrator
Illustrator allows you to create art of all varieties, from the highly stylized to the photorealistic. Here, digital design expert James Arnott shows how to make an impressively realistic and convincing wine glass using the software.
The tutorial gives you the tools to master transparency and translucency in Illustrator, including a step-by-step guide on using the transparency palette, blending modes and black-and-white gradients.
Pair this with some smart use of the Gaussian blur and you’ve got the tools to add some touches of realism to any image.
