Hey everyone.....
Here is another post for butterflies illustration made by illustrator software.
This is one of my favorites. Just looking at these colors lifts me up :)
You know what also makes me happy? Is that you can make one shape, duplicate it and recolor it very easily using illustrator! In this case, I drew a butterfly, mainly using the pen tool and ellipse vector tool (for the circles in the butterfly's wings). For coloring the wings, I used A LOT of pathfinder divides to divide the wings to separate parts and easily give each part a different gradient and give it a nice effect. For the butterfly's body, I used the mesh tool and used brown color shades to give it a 3D effect.
I finished coloring this butterfly and duplicated it 8 times and gave each one unique colors using the feature "recolor artwork" from (edit > edit color > recolor artwork). This amazing feature will allow you to recolor each and every color you have in the shape you drew. To neatly finish it, decide on these butterflies' layout & the order of which they'll appear (object > arrange > bring forward / step backward).
So that's it........Hope you like it as much as I do :)
