🌸 Creating a Flower or Spiral from Brushes
Follow-up to the “Big to Small” Effect
If you already have a brush line with elements going from large to small (like flowers or sequins), you can take it a step further and turn it into a decorative spiral, fan, or flower shape. All it takes is rotation and scaling!
🔄 Step-by-step guide
1. Copy the brush line from the previous tutorial
This is the brush with gradually shrinking elements.
2. Rotate the first copy
Turn it by 30–45° and place it next to the original — like a petal.
3. Repeat with more copies
Keep rotating and placing them around a center point to build a spiral or round shape.
4. Scale for variety
Make some copies smaller or narrower to create more complex and dynamic designs.
5. What you can create:
🌼 a flower with layered petals
🌪 a spiral pattern
🌈 a fan or radiating rays
🔶 a symmetrical rosette
6. Merge if needed
Once you’re happy with the shape, select all brushes and merge them into one object to continue editing as a single piece.
📌 This trick works beautifully with sequins, petals, feathers, or abstract shapes — perfect for shoulders, headpieces, yokes, or dramatic accessories.
