 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Illustrator CC 2021 tutorial. In this one I'm going to show you how to create a circular pattern repeat or a radial pattern repeat. There's some new functionality in Adobe Illustrator that I like to show you and as you can see here this one here on the left it started out as a single sphere, I suppose I guess you'd call that an ellipse, a single ellipse and then I turned it into a pattern that looks like a flower. I've got one here so let's just delete this and I'm going to show you how to do it. The first step here is you want to get for example the ellipse tool. You can use any type of shape but I'm going to use an ellipse because they're nice and simple and I'm going to draw this little little ellipse right there. Okay good the next step is I'm going to switch up here I'm going to go to the top to object and then if you go down you're going to see pattern and then you're going to see repeat. Under repeat there's an option there's three options but we're going to look at the radial one in this video and the left click on radial and when I do that presto it created a repeating circular pattern and it's an adjustable one. Let me show you what you can do I'm going to go ahead and click to the selection tool. First thing you can resize it so we'll do that first we'll make it a little bigger. The second thing you'll see here is you can change the number of spheres or I guess you would call these ellipses in the pattern so as I move this to the right you'll see here that I'm taking away pieces or I'm taking away ellipses so I get back to one or I can do them all and you can also do it with this side so if I wanted to chop these ones away you can do it there as well so that is some pretty cool functionality I'm going to go ahead and adjust that. Also you'll see that you can increase the number of instances or the number of shapes in the pattern so if you just want something like this like two eyeballs three four five six seven eight all the way up to however many you'd like also you can increase or decrease the compression I suppose you'd call it or how close they are together so you can go right into like a small shape like this which is like a neutron star shape or you can go all the way out and expand it all the way out there so there are a ton of options here I really like this actually um then maybe I would rotate this sure why not let's rotate it um that is how you do these adjustments inside Adobe Illustrator 2021 creating patterns around a circle repeat patterns around a circle or in a radial that's it guys thanks for watching ton more stuff coming up stay tuned be back soon
