ellipses, rounded rectangles, and triangles, and add a little face on each one to finish

it off "pen up #dobe Illustrator CC and let's get started$

Step

et's add some toppings to our hamburger

& .or both the hamburger patty and the tomato slice, draw a rounded rectangle

the width of the top bun using the "ounded "e#tangle Tool #d!ust the radii

of the rectangle to your liking

2 )raw an ellipse that overlaps the top of the container and whose width

matches the top edge of the 5uadrilateral

the Path&inderpanel

6 )raw a shape with the Pen Toolbehind the container shape whose width

matches the contour of the front shape and whose top edge curves slightly

3his will form the back and inside of the container

Step

"ur container needs a bunch of .rench fries, so let's get cooking

& )raw a vertical rounded rectangle with the "ounded "e#tangle Tool

rectangle pieces so you're left with green stripes that conform to the lime

green circle

Step +

& 0rouptogether the pickle stripes and reduce their 2pa#it-to 89:

( Cop-, Paste, S#ale, and "otatethe pickle so that you have two pickles, one

behind the other

+ 9ive your pickles a thick outline and cute face, and 0roupall components

8.Creating the Condi5ents

Step 1

3he mustard and ketchup bottles are identical e8cept for their fill colors

& )raw two identical ellipses and a rectangle between them of the same width


15/32

( 'nitethe three shapes together in the Path&inderpanel 1epeat with the top

of the bottle

+ et your ob!ects' fill colors to red

Step

& .or the bottle no**le, draw a triangle either with the Pol-gon Toolor the PenTool Beneath it, draw an ellipse whose width matches the bottom edge of the

triangle 'nitethem in the Path&inderpanel

( Cut off the top of the no**le by overlapping the tip of the triangle with a

rectangle and hitting $inus %rontin the Path&inderpanel


16/32

Step +

& et the fill colors of all three shapes to red and make sure they're Alignedto

their centers #d!ust the width of these shapes as you see fit

( Cop-and Pastethe ketchup bottle ob!ect and set the fill color to null and the

stroke color to dark brown

+ 7lace each ob!ect from the ketchup bottle group above their corresponding

copy so they have a simple, 1

Step /

9ive your final bottle a thicker outline and draw a cute face onto the

font Cop-and Paste the ketchup bottle for your matching mustard bottle 3he colors

I used are as follows%

Step 1

We're going to take our time with creating our milkshake, since it's also the basis for

the tall glass of cola in our final print design

& tart with two ellipses 3he wider of the two will be the top of the glass while

the other will be the bottom of the glass's bowl


19/32

( )raw a line with the ine Seg5ent Tool (>!in the center of both ellipses 3his

will help with the construction of the glass

+ )raw three more ellipses% "ne below the bowl of the glass, showing the

bottom of the base and two small ones of the same si*e that will help us with

the width of the stem itself

Step

I've drawn two additional ellipses in the body of the glass so I can make sure the

bowl will keep the shape I intended

& se the Pen Toolto draw a curved line from the small ellipse at the bottom ofthe glass's bowl to the outside of the bottom of the base 3his will form one

half of the stem

( sing the four larger ellipses as a guide, draw a line, with the Pen Tool, that

starts at the center of the top ellipse and hits the center of the bottom ellipse

#d!ust the angle of the path with the anchor point's handle as needed so all

four ellipses touch the path


20/32

+ Cop- and Pasteboth lines drawn previously and "e&le#tthem over

a erti#al Aisso they can be Alignedto the opposite side of the glass

Step +

0rouptogether your glass components

& se the Pen Toolto trace the outer curve on the left side of the glass and

connect it in the center of the glass shape with two right angles

( 'ngroupthe top and bottom ellipses /see below0 Cop-and Pastethe top

ellipse and set it aside 'niteall three shapes in the Path&inderpanel

+ "verlap the right half of the newly 'nitedshape with a rectangle and

hit $inus %rontin the Path&inderpanel so you're left with the left side of

the glass


21/32

Step /

Step /

& Cop-, Paste, and "e&le#tthe left half of the glass's bowl

( "verlap the shapes slightly and 'nitethem in the Path&inderpanel 1epeat

the previous step with the stem of the glass et the fill colors to very light

blue while the stroke color is simply light blue, as used in the .rench fries

drawn previously

+ 7lace the copied ellipse from the previous step at the top of the glass :ake

sure its fill color is set to null


22/32

Step 8

& se the Pen Toolto draw a curved line for the rim of the glass

( .ollow the contour of the glass's bowl to draw a rounded rectangle-like shape

for the left-most flute of the glass with the Pen Tool

+ )raw four shapes in total, making sure there's space between each

Step =


23/32

et the flutes' fill colors to a inear0radientgoing from blue at 199: to 9:

2pa#it-at a ?9@angle

Step

& )raw a rounded rectangle-like shape inside the glass /behind the to ellipse,

line, and flutes0 for the milkshake itself et the color to pink / #ff80b3 0

( sing the Pen#il Tool (;!, begin drawing the milkshake's whipped cream with

a curving line at the top, starting from the right

+ :ove down the whipped topping shape with scallops

2 Complete the shape by closing it at the origin in the upper right ;ote how

curvy, lumpy, and bumpy it is


24/32

4 et the fill color to white and the stroke color to blue or light blue

Step

& )raw curving lines to show how the whipped cream folds in on itself with

the Pen Tool

( )raw a red circle for the cherry and place it behind the whipped topping

+ 9ive the cherry a stem with the Pen or Pen#il Tool .inally, give your

milkshake a thick brown outline as we did with the other icons


25/32

Step ?

.or a final touch to the milkshake, let's create a straw

& )raw an ellipse and a rectangle of matching width

( Cop-and Pastethe ellipse 'nitethe first ellipse and the rectangle in

the Path&inderpanel

+ 3he straw's colors should match the milkshake's glass

2 )raw a series of diagonal red rectangles /"otatethem /8@0 along the length

of the straw and use the Shape Builder Toolas we did with the stripes on the

pickle to delete them from the straw base

4 0rouptogetheryour straw shapes

7lace the straw in the milkshake behind the whipped topping and contents


26/32

.Ha*e a "e&reshing Cola

Step 1

.or our final icon, you'll want to Cop-and Pastethe milkshake )elete all of the

milkshake's components e8cept for the bowl of the glass and the contents et aside

the straw and lengthen the glass itself )elete the flutes as well 3hey won't be

needed for this design


27/32

Step

& et the fill color of the glass's contents to dark brown / #482c3b 0

( )raw rounded s5uares with the "ounded "e#tangle Toolfor ice in the cola

glass et the fill color to brown / #dc8e68 0

+ Cop-, Paste, and "otatethe ice cubes in the center portion of the glass


28/32

Step +

& .or soda bubbles, draw various si*es of circles around the ice cubes

( )raw a small, thin white rectangle to create an edge on the ice cube

+ 1epeat on the other two ice cubes and 0rouptogether all of the ice cubecomponents and cola bubbles

2 7lace the straw you set aside earlier in the glass )raw a curved line in front

of the straw for the glass's rim


29/32

.Create the Pattern

Step 1

et's take a look at our final pattern elements I added some ketchup to the fries,faces to each item, and hearts in the place of tongues in some of the mouths #lso

note how the cola's face is white instead of brown so it remains visible :ake sure

each element is 0roupedand has been added to the ibrariespanel in its own

library for easy access during the pattern creation process

Step

& #rrange five of your elements, select all five, and hit $a4e Patternin

the Pattern 2ptionspanel :ake sure Tile T-peis set to Bri#4 b- Colu5n

( )rag the pickles out from the ibrariespanel and place them near the top of

the design :ake sure they cross over the pattern's bounding bo8


30/32

+ 7lace the ketchup within the design as well "otateor S#aleeach element as

needed

2 #dd the milkshake at the end It's one of the larger designs, so I rearranged

my pattern elements so it would fit easily :ake sure the elements have plenty

of space around them and don't overlap
