Today we explore the live mirror drawing function in Illustrator, and I show you why it’s awesome. In the tutorial, I show you some beginner techniques and then more advanced techniques with the live mirror drawing function, in Adobe Illustrator.
The live mirror drawing function is quite obscure and not many designers know or utilise it. It is very customisable, and it does have lots of uses. One of the main use for it is to create symmetrical digital illustrations, but also it can be handy for icon and logo design. It does have other uses, but these are the main issues that I personally see within the live mirror drawing function.
Todays Illustrator tutorial is split up into 2 sections, the first shorter section is based on the mirror live drawing functions as a beginner, and then later in the tutorial we move into a more advanced design space. But I believe that both techniques are fine for most designers, if you careful listen and watch, whilst recreating it step by step for yourself.
