The flipped heart makes the perfect body for the spade. So we’ll take a copy of the heart (hold Option or Alt as you drag it with the Selection Tool) and then rotate it 180° to make the spade – hold Shift as you drag around the outside with the Selection Tool. One of the good things about Illustrator is that you can easily repurpose your artwork. Here’s the result of merging those two halves: we’re left with a single object, rather than the two we started with. Click the first icon to unite the two shapes into a single object. Select them with the Selection Tool (V) and open the Pathfinder panel (Window > Pathfinder). With both the bottom points now in the same place, it’s time to merge the two halves together. With the bottom points selected, bring up the Average dialog (Ctrl-Alt-J / Command-Option-J). Drag with the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the bottom two points of the heart. You’ve now made both halves of the heart – but because the top circles need to overlap, the bottom isn’t working quite right. Choose the Vertical axis, and click the Copy button. Choose the Reflect Tool (O), and hold Option/Alt as you click just to the left of the center line to bring up its dialog. Switch to the Selection Tool (V) and click inside the half heart to select it. Then move the cursor to the bottom of the heart: make sure you have Smart Guides selected (Ctrl-U / Command-U) and it will automatically snap to the right hand point.Ĭlick to mark the bottom point of the heart, and drag down and to the right until you get a pleasing shape. As you click, hold the mouse button and drag downwards to make a handle about twice as long as the one above. Press Delete to remove that bottom handle, then choose the Pen tool (P) and click on the leftmost anchor point. Then switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag a selection to include just the bottom handle of the circle.

Choose the Ellipse Tool (L), and hold Shift as you draw an ellipse to constrain it to a perfect circle. To change the color of the diamond, make sure it’s selected and choose the color you want either from the Swatches panel or, if you want more precise control, from the Color panel. If you hold Shift as you do so, then you’ll only change the width, not the height. Move the cursor to the side of the object, and drag it towards the center. To make the diamond narrower, choose the Scale tool (S). More after the jump! Continue reading below↓įree and Premium members see fewer ads! Sign up and log-in today.
