製作火烈鳥

1. How to Create the Flamingo
1. 如何製作火烈鳥

Step 1步驟1

After you've opened your AI, create a new document.
打開AI後，創建一個新文檔。

To create the flamingo, let's start with the head. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and draw an ellipse (fill color R=255, G=112, B=98). Then, we want to deform it a little: hit the Direct Selection Tool (A) and select its left and right anchor points. Using the Down Arrow key on your keyboard, move those two anchor points down.
為了創造火烈鳥，讓我們從頭部開始。使用橢圓工具（L）繪製一個橢圓（填充顏色R=255，G=112，B=98）。然後，我們想稍微變形一下：點擊直接選擇工具（A），選擇它的左右錨點。使用鍵盤上的向下箭頭

Take the Ellipse Tool (L) again, to draw the eye. Create a circle. Hold the Shift key while drawing to form a nice even circle. Change its fill color to R=229, G=76, B=65.
再次使用橢圓工具（L）繪製眼睛。創建一個圓。按住Shift鍵，同時繪製形成一個漂亮的均勻的圓圈。將其填充顏色更改為R=229，G=76，B=65。

Draw a new circle inside the previous one and change its color to R=71, G=40, B=40.
在前一個圓圈內畫一個新圓圈，並將其顏色更改為R=71，G=40，B=40。

After that, add a tiny white circle for the highlight, as that will complete the flamingo's eye.
之後，添加一個小的白色圓圈的亮點，因為這將完成火烈鳥的眼睛。

Step 2步驟2

Now we're going to create the beak. Add a long, horizontal ellipse using the Ellipse Tool (L). Make sure its fill color is R=252, G=168, B=162.
現在我們要做鳥嘴。使用橢圓工具（L）添加一個長的水平橢圓。確保其填充顏色為R=252，G=168，B=162。

While keeping the ellipse selected, go to Effect > Warp > Flag. In the new dialogue window, enter the options you see below and then press OK. Expand the shape (Object > Expand Appearance).
在保持橢圓處於選中狀態的同時，轉到效果>扭曲>標誌。在新的對話框窗口中，輸入您在下面看到的選項，然後按OK。展開形狀（對象>展開外觀）。

Place the beak under the flamingo's head (Control-X, Control-B). Rotate the head with the beak to the left, which is how a flamingo usually holds its head.
將喙放在火烈鳥的頭下（Control-X，Control-B）。轉動頭部，喙向左，這是火烈鳥通常保持頭部的方式。

Step 3步驟3

Normally, a flamingo's beak is more complicated, so we are going to add some more detail. Draw a vertical ellipse with the help of the Ellipse Tool (L). While keeping it selected (just make sure you selected it by using the Selection Tool (V)), go to Effect > Warp > Arc. In the new dialogue window, enter the options you see below and press OK.
通常，火烈鳥的喙更複雜，所以我們要添加更多的細節。在橢圓工具（L）的幫助下繪製垂直橢圓。在保持選中狀態的同時（只要確保你使用選擇工具（V）選中了它），轉到效果>扭曲>弧。在新的對話框窗口中，輸入您在下面看到的選項，然後按OK。

Then go to Effect > Warp > Inflate and enter the new options you see in the image. After that, expand the shape (Object > Expand Appearance).
然後轉到效果>扭曲>充氣並輸入您在圖像中看到的新選項。之後，展開形狀（對象>展開外觀）。

Place this shape on the flamingo's head as shown below, just under its eye.
把這個形狀放在火烈鳥的頭上，如下圖所示，就在它的眼睛下面。

Step 4步驟4

It's not done yet! The last thing we want to add to the flamingo's beak is this dark part on the tip. So add an ellipse (fill color R=71, G=40, B=40) overlapping the tip of the beak. 
還沒結束呢！我們最不想給火烈鳥的喙加上的就是尖端的這個黑色部分。因此，添加一個橢圓（填充顏色R=71，G=40，B=40）重疊的喙尖。

Now, be careful: select the beak which is located under the head and create a new copy of it (Control-C, Control-F). Don't take off the selection yet, and while holding down the Shift button, select the dark brown ellipse you created before. Press the Intersect button on the Pathfinder panel (Window > Pathfinder). You'll end up with a similar image to the one below:
現在，小心：選擇位於頭部下方的喙並創建一個新複本（Control-C，Control-F）。先不要取消選區，按住Shift鍵的同時，選擇之前創建的深棕色橢圓。按路徑查找器面板上的相交按鈕（窗口>路徑查找器）。你會得到一個類似於下面的圖像：

Step 5步驟5

To draw the neck, we will use the Pencil Tool (N). But first, let's adjust it: double-click on this tool and in the new dialogue window that will pop up, move the Fidelity slider way to the right, until it reaches Smooth. Close the new window by clicking OK. Make sure you deleted the fill and set the stroke color to R=255, G=112, B=98.
要繪製頸部，我們將使用縮放工具（N）。但首先，讓我們調整它：雙擊這個工具，並在新的對話窗口，將彈出，移動保真度滑塊的方式到右邊，直到它達到平滑。單擊確定關閉新窗口。確保刪除了填充並將筆觸顏色設置為R=255，G=112，B=98。

Now you can draw the neck using the Pencil Tool (N) and it should look like a reflected letter "S".
現在你可以使用繪圖工具（N）繪製頸部，它看起來應該像一個反射的字母「S」。

But you can see that the neck is very thin, and we want to make it thicker where it connects to the body. So take the Width Tool (Shift-W) and, while the neck is selected, stretch the end of it where the neck meets the body.
但是你可以看到脖子很細，我們想把它和身體連接的地方做得更厚。因此，採取寬度工具（Shift-W），而脖子被選中，拉伸它的結束，頸部滿足身體。

Step 6步驟6

Next is the body. Delete the stroke color and set the fill color to R=255, G=112, B=98. Draw a vertical ellipse. Then go to Warp > Effect > Arc, and enter the options you see below. Expand the shape.
接下來是身體。刪除描邊顏色並將填充顏色設置為R=255，G=112，B=98。繪製垂直橢圓。然後轉到扭曲>效果>弧，並輸入您在下面看到的選項。展開形狀。

Connect the body to the lower end of the flamingo's neck.
將身體連接到火烈鳥脖子的下端。

Step 7步驟7

In this step, we are going to create the feathers on the flamingo's tail. But first we want to create a special Illustrator brush for it. I really like this brush, because it's universal and you can create anything using it.
在這一步中，我們將在火烈鳥的尾巴上創建羽毛。但首先我們要為它創建一個特殊的Illustrator畫筆。我真的很喜歡這個畫筆，因為它是通用的，你可以用它創建任何東西。

Make sure you have a black fill color, and then draw a thin horizontal ellipse. After that, grab this ellipse and drag it to the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes). A new dialogue window will pop up, where you want to check Art Brush, OK. Then a new window will pop up again. Enter the options you see in the second image.
確保你有一個黑色的填充顏色，然後畫一個細的水平橢圓。之後，抓取此橢圓並將其拖到「畫筆」面板（窗口>畫筆）。一個新的對話窗口將彈出，在那裡你要檢查藝術畫筆，確定。一個新的窗口將再次彈出。輸入您在第二張圖片中看到的選項。

Here are the options of the new Illustrator brush:
以下是newIllustrator畫筆的選項：

Let's prepare our new brush to draw the feathers. Make sure you have no fill color and set the stroke color to R=229, G=76, B=65. Using the new Art Brush you just created, start to draw the feathers on the flamingo's tail as shown below.
讓我們準備新的畫筆來畫羽毛。確保沒有填充顏色，並將描邊顏色設置為R=229，G=76，B=65。使用你剛剛創建的新藝術畫筆，開始繪製火烈鳥尾巴上的羽毛，如下圖所示。

Change the stroke color to R=247, G=91, B=79 and draw some new strokes over the previous ones. The new strokes should almost cover the old ones.
將筆劃顏色更改為R=247，G=91，B=79，並在以前的筆劃上繪製一些新的筆劃。新的筆畫應該幾乎覆蓋舊的筆畫。

Then change the stroke color to R=229, G=76, B=65 again, and draw some new darker strokes that cover the previous strokes just a little bit.
然後再次將筆劃顏色更改為R=229，G=76，B=65，並繪製一些新的較暗筆劃，這些筆劃覆蓋了之前的筆劃。

Change the stroke color to R=247, G=91, B=79 and draw some new lighter strokes over the darker ones, almost covering them.
將筆劃顏色更改為R=247，G=91，B=79，並在較暗的筆劃上繪製一些新的較淺筆劃，幾乎覆蓋它們。

Step 8步驟8

Using the same method and the same Illustrator brush, draw new feathers that are related to the wing. Notice that now you should incorporate a new stroke color R=255, G=112, B=98, the same as the body color.
使用相同的方法和相同的Illustrator畫筆，繪製與翅膀相關的新羽毛。請注意，現在應該合併一個新的描邊顏色R=255，G=112，B=98，與主體顏色相同。

Step 9步驟9

Make sure you have no stroke color and set the fill color to R=255, G=112, B=98. Create a small ellipse under the flamingo's body where the leg will be connected.
確保沒有描邊顏色，並將填充顏色設置為R=255，G=112，B=98。在火烈鳥的身體下創建一個小橢圓，腿將連接在一起。

Now let's draw the leg. In order to change the fill color to the same stroke color, press Shift-X. Then take the Line Segment Tool (\) and draw a long line for the leg. The leg will probably be very thin, so you should go to the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke) and increase its Weight. Note that the line should be slightly rotated to the left.
現在讓我們畫腿。要將填充顏色更改為相同的描邊顏色，請按Shift-X。然後使用線段工具（\）為腿畫一條長線。腿部可能會非常細，因此您應該轉到「描邊」面板（窗口>描邊）並增加其權重。請注意，該線應稍微向左旋轉。

Change the stroke color to the fill color with the same shade, or simply press Shift-X. Add a tiny ellipse for the flamingo's knee, which is inverted.
將描邊顏色更改為具有相同陰影的填充顏色，或只需按Shift-X。為火烈鳥的膝蓋添加一個微小的橢圓，它是倒置的。

Make the fill color your new stroke color (Shift-X) and add a new line using the Line Segment Tool (\) for the lower part of the flamingo's leg.
使填充顏色成為新的筆觸顏色（Shift-X），並使用線段工具（\）為火烈鳥腿的下部添加一條新線。

Using the same method, create another leg. This new leg should be darker (R=229, G=76, B=65).
使用相同的方法創建另一條腿。這條新腿應該更暗（R=229，G=76，B=65）。

Step 10步驟10

We're almost at the end! Now we want to create the toes. 
我們就快結束了！現在我們要創建腳趾。

Draw a rounded rectangle using the Rounded Rectangle Tool and the stroke color R=255, G=112, B=98. Then hit the Scissors Tool (C) and click on the two sides marked in the image below. You just cut off one part of the rounded rectangle. Delete its upper part, as you don't need it. You need just the lower part, for the flamingo's toe.
使用圓角矩形工具和描邊顏色R=255，G=112，B=98繪製圓角矩形。然後點擊剪刀工具（C），點擊下面圖片中標記的兩邊。你只需要切掉圓角矩形的一部分。刪除它的上半部分，因為你不需要它。你只需要下半部分，作為火烈鳥的腳趾。

Step 11步驟11

Place the flamingo's toe under its leg. Add two more toes. Check if the stroke weight of the leg and toes look good.
將火烈鳥的腳趾放在它的腿下。再加兩個腳趾。檢查腿部和腳趾的划水重量是否正確。

Using the Arc Tool and the stroke color R=229, G=76, B=65, create the toes on the other leg.
使用弧形工具和筆劃顏色R=229，G=76，B=65，在另一條腿上創建腳趾。

Our flamingo is done! 我們的火烈鳥完蛋了！

2. How to Create the Background Using an Illustrator Paintbrush
2. 如何使用Illustrator畫筆創建背景

Step 1步驟1

Let's create the background. Hit the Rectangle Tool (M) and click on your artboard. Enter Height and Width 850 px. Set its fill color to R=247, G=237, B=223.
讓我們創建背景。點擊矩形工具（M），然後點擊你的畫板。輸入Height和Width 850 px。將其填充顏色設置為R=247、G=237、B=223。

Step 2 步驟2

To create a triangle, hit the Polygon Tool and click on your artboard. Enter Sides 3 with any Radius in the new window. Change its stroke color to white with no fill.
要創建一個三角形，點擊多邊形工具，然後點擊你的畫板。在新窗口中輸入帶有任意半徑的Sides 3。將其描邊顏色更改為無填充的白色。

Step 3步驟3

Let's add some grunge to our background. Set the stroke color to R=244, G=229, B=208 with no fill. On the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes), open the Brush Libraries Menu and go to Artistic > Artistic_Paintbrush. There you can select Brush 2, which looks like a real paintbrush stroke. Using the Illustrator brush, draw some grunge strokes. The strokes should be diagonal and barely have to go beyond the borders of the triangle (but, honestly, you can draw your strokes however you want:). Make the strokes thick by increasing their Weight.
讓我們添加一些垃圾到我們的背景。將筆劃顏色設置為R=244，G=229，B=208，無填充。在「畫筆」面板（「>畫筆」窗口）上，打開「畫筆庫」菜單，然後轉到「Artistic > Artistic_Paintbrush」。在該選項卡中，可以選擇「畫筆2」，它看起來像真實的畫筆筆劃。使用Illustrator畫筆，繪製一些垃圾筆畫。筆畫應該是對角線的，幾乎不需要超過三角形的邊界（但是，老實說，你可以隨心所欲地畫你的筆畫：）。通過增加筆劃的「權重」使筆劃變粗。

In the end, place the triangle over the paintbrush strokes (Control-X, Control-F).
最後，將三角形放置在畫筆筆劃上（Control-X，Control-F）。

Step 4步驟4

Select all your paintbrush strokes: first, select one of them, and then go to Select > Same > Stroke Color. After that, in the Transparency panel (Window > Transparency), change their Blending Mode to Multiply and lower their Opacity to 50%.
選擇所有畫筆筆劃：首先，選擇其中一個，然後轉到選擇>相同>筆劃顏色。之後，在透明度面板（窗口>透明度）中，將其混合模式更改為正片疊底，並將其不透明度降低到50%。

3. How to Create Tropical Plants Using the Illustrator Art Brush
3. 如何使用Illustrator藝術畫筆創建熱帶植物

Step 1步驟1

Remember the new Illustrator brush you created to draw your flamingo's feathers? We'll now use it again. Change the stroke color to R=252, G=168, B=162. Following the directions of the arrows in the image below, draw the petals of the flower. Notice that one petal has a few strokes.
還記得你為繪製火烈鳥羽毛而創建的新Illustrator畫筆嗎？我們現在將再次使用它。將描邊顏色更改為R=252，G=168，B=162。按照下圖中箭頭的方向，繪製花瓣。請注意，一個花瓣有幾個筆劃。

After that, on the Transparency panel, change the Blending Mode of the stroke to Multiply and lower its Opacity to around 60%. Decrease the stroke Weight on the Stroke panel. Then draw some shading in the middle of the flower using the same Illustrator brush.
之後，在透明度面板上，將筆劃的混合模式更改為正片疊底，並將其不透明度降低到60%左右。減小「描邊」面板上的描邊權重。然後用同樣的Illustrator筆刷在花的中間畫一些陰影。

Increase the Opacity of the stroke to 100%, increase the stroke Weight, and draw the center of the flower, which is typical for a hibiscus.
將筆劃的「不透明度」增加到100%，增加筆劃的「權重」，並繪製花的中心，這對於芙蓉花來說是典型的。

The last part is the stamen. In the image, the stamen is in black, so you can see it better, but it needs to be in white. We will use the same brush again. It's pretty versatile, right? 
最後一部分是雄蕊。在圖像中，雄蕊是黑色的，所以你可以看到它更好，但它需要在白色。我們將再次使用相同的刷子。它的用途很廣，對吧？

The stamen starts from a long thin stroke, and then lots of even thinner branches move away from the main stroke. After that, add a few thicker ellipses again using the same brush.
雄蕊從細長的筆畫開始，然後許多更細的分支遠離主筆畫。之後，添加幾個更厚的橢圓再次使用相同的畫筆。

Group the whole flower for your convenience (right-click > Group).
為了您的方便，將整朵花分組（右鍵單擊%3 E組）。

Step 2步驟2

Create two more copies of the hibiscus and spread them around. In the end, place the triangle over the flower (Control-X, Control-F).
創建兩個以上的芙蓉複本，並傳播他們周圍。最後，將三角形放在花上（Control-X，Control-F）。

Step 3步驟3

The last element for our illustration is that tropical leaf called Chamaerops. First, change the stroke color to R=93, G=199, B=208, and using the same Illustrator brush as we used for the flowers, draw a few strokes to indicate the shape of the leaf. Then add more strokes, or leaves.
最後一個元素是熱帶的一片葉子，叫做Chamaerops。首先，將筆劃顏色更改為R=93，G=199，B=208，並使用與我們用於花朵的相同的Illustrator畫筆，繪製一些筆劃以指示葉子的形狀。然後添加更多的筆畫或葉子。

Change the stroke color to R=42, G=170, B=173 and add the stalk.
將筆劃顏色更改為R=42，G=170，B=173並添加莖。

Group the whole Chamaerops leaf so that you can easily move it later on.
將整個Chamaerops葉子分組，以便您稍後可以輕鬆移動它。

Step 4步驟4

Create two more copies of this leaf and spread them around. Make sure your triangle stays on top of everything.
再複製兩張這張葉子，然後把它們散開。確保你的三角形保持在一切之上。

Step 5步驟5

And finally, place the flamingo in the middle of the background, and our illustration is done!
最後，把火烈鳥放在背景中間，我們的插圖就完成了！
