Hello, hello!
OK, guys, I know that the first tutorial on creating swirls in AI was not the best tutorial on the topic and it just screamed for improvement.
So, we did some.
We did a video, accompanied with some fine ambient music
(thanks Rach!)
Please note, before starting the video and really learn how make a swirl in Adobe Illustrator you will need to:
- Open Adobe Illustrator
- Make sure that your mouse is always close to the “Pause” button.
- Click “Pause” after each action taken on the video.
- Do the same on your computer
Video is accompanied with titles explaining what has been done each step of the way.
This is the first part. In next part we will add a branch to the swirl. And we’ll see where to go from there.
I hope you’ll like it!

Thank you so much, I too could not figure out your first tutorial and when I saw this I was thrilled to see how easy it was. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

why so complicated? you can make the same faster and more precise by using the brushes.
- just draw a spiral with the spiral tool
- open the standard arrows-brushes in the brushes options menu
- chose the triangular arrow for the spiral (the shape of the triangle will bend along the spiral)
- adjust line thickness
- done!
Thank you all :)
