Let’s create the stand for the traffic cone. Before moving onto the next step, select all the objects we’ve created so far and group them (Ctrl/Cmd + G). Apply a linear gradient to the inner ellipse. This will create another ellipse so that we now have two ellipses. Select the ellipse and then go to Object > Path > Offset Path set the Offset to -1. Use the Zoom Tool (Z) to zoom in so that you can adjust the size of the ellipse in such a way that the anchor points align precisely. With the Ellipse Tool (L), create a small ellipse and place it at the top end of the traffic cone. Make a copy of the new shape (Ctrl/Cmd + C and then Ctrl/Cmd + F) and use it to create a similar shape for the other objects.Īpply gradients to the stripes in alternating fashion. Use the Intersect button in the Pathfinder Panel to create a new shape. Copy the first original shape (Ctrl/Cmd + C), and paste it in front (Ctrl/Cmd + F). Hold down Shift + Alt/Option, then click-and-drag the cone shape upwards holding down Shift keeps the movement straight, and holding down Alt/Option creates a copy of the object you are moving. We now have the basic shape of the cone, but there is lots of work ahead to make it look like a real traffic cone. Select the resultant shape we just made above and the ellipse at its bottom, then, in the Pathfinder Panel, hit the Intersect button. Select the triangle and the upper ellipse and, using the Minus Front button in the Pathfinder Panel (Window > Pathfinder), remove the top end of the triangle.
Make sure to center them by selecting all three objects (the triangle and two ellipses), then, in the Align Panel (Window > Align), clicking on the Horizontal Align Center button. Grab the Ellipse Tool (L) and create two ellipses as shown below. Next, we have to cut out the bottom and top ends of the triangle to make the triangle shaped more like a cone. Switch to the Selection Tool (V), select the triangle, and then drag the upper middle transform control of the selection box upwards a bit.
We have to modify the shape of the triangle a little bit to make it taller. Set the Points to 3 - that way, we will create a triangle. Grab the Star Tool from the Tools Panel and click anywhere on the artboard to bring up the Star Tool dialog window. Let’s start with the upper part (the cone) and then we’ll create a stand for it later. Now we have to figure out how to create the shape of the cone. Step 2: Create the Basic Shape of the Cone Press Ctrl/Cmd + N to create a new document let’s make the artboard 500x500px in size (though as you know, with vector illustration, we can resize our artwork to any size we want later on).
