In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial, we will create this happy fire illustration inspired by the incredible artist, MBE (whose dribbble link I have posted above.) Weโll use basic shape tools and manipulate them using the pathfinder. Weโll layer on shapes to create a complex fire shape and then weโll create a series of global colors using the Color panel and create a gradient from these colors that will help make our fire look a little more like fire should. Hopefully, you will learn a thing or two about Illustrator and enjoy the video at the same time! Thanks for watching!
