Sorry if this is a bad question.
I’ve just finished an adobe illustrator course so my skills are extremely limited.
I’d like to make a monogram but I’m not sure what the best process would be. (e.g. Taking a letter “N” font and modifying it, or making one from scratch)Heres one I found on dribbble which I liked, but I’m struggling to figure out how it was done.
I tried taking a letter N from a font, expanding it, and then trying to make adjustments using the direct selection tool to no avail.
I also tried creating an “N” with the pen tool, but couldn’t get the uniformity right on both curls – they never looked even.
Lastly, I took the rectangle tool and rounded it off, placed it at a 45 degree angle to make the centre “oblong”. Then I tried to use the pen tool for the curls, by doing one side and copying it to the other.
Answer
you don’t need to use pen tool to create curls rather create the curls with the circle and delete the quater and make sure your stroke cap is set to Round
Here’s a quick tutorial on this:
After creating your logo you can Expend your object and can use pathfinder to merge all shape in to one shape and then you can also apply some artistic effects from filter menu.
