Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode, hypnotic wave lines from just two lines, plus layered shadow text, using the Blend Tool. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Blend creates intermediate objects between two objects, including shape and color changes. The result can be shape gradients, hypnotic lines, or 3D effects. On a dark blue background, draw two wave lines with the Pen Tool, one on top in light pink and one below in light blue, with different curved shapes.

Step 2: Blend Make

Select both lines, then Object, Blend, Make, or Alt Ctrl B. Illustrator creates intermediate lines that gradually change shape and color.

Step 3: Blend Options

Select the object, Blend, Blend Options. Change Spacing to Specific Steps and fill in 24. The closely spaced lines form a hypnotic wave pattern.

Step 4: Editing the Parent Line

Select one of the parent lines with the Direct Selection tool and drag its anchor point. All intermediate lines adjust accordingly because the blend remains active.

Step 5: Blend Shape for Shadowed Text

Type the letter A in uppercase, create an outline, duplicate it to the lower right with a darker color and send it to the back.

Blend the two letters with many steps, forming thick layered shadows like three-dimensional effects. Once finished, Object, Blend, Expand to finalize all intermediate lines into regular objects.
