Stars and Stripes Forever
Hey, all. Continued apologies — I’ve been traveling, and today was the first day that I’ve been in a real wireless hotspot. 2/28’s post was inspired again by my boy Jack. He loves drawing the American flag, and he always makes very interesting interpretations of it — one of his most recent is taped to the front of my laptop. I used the rectangle tool to make the blue field, and the red field, as well as the white stripes. I then converted them to paths and tweaked their shapes. I added some gradients to each to allow the colors to blend. I shaped the stripes to converge towards the top, but each converging independently, rather than all converging to a single point. Finally I added a star and duplicated and sized the star in several positions on the blue field.
