Gain more knowledge about Illustrator. Learn how to use the Pen and Blend tools to create the linocut effect in your illustrations.
1. Create two paths using the Pen tool.
Click to create the first point. Create additional points with handles by clicking and dragging. Release the mouse button and drag in the direction you want the curve to curve, then click to complete the path. When you're finished, press Return (or Enter) and then repeat to create a second path.
2. Adjust the line weight and width profile in the Stroke panel to taper the strokes.
Tip: This example uses a 3pt weight and Width Profile 1.
3. Choose the Blend tool. Click one path, and then the other, to make a third path appear between them.
4. In the Tools panel, double click the Blend tool icon to open Blend Options. For Spacing choose Specified Steps, then enter 12 for the number of steps.
5. Choose the Direct Selection tool. Match the end points of one path to the corresponding end points of the second path by dragging them. Adjust as needed.
That's it! You have successfully created a linocut effect in Illustrator.
