Graphic Design for Lunch™ is a series of short video courses you can study in bite size pieces such as at lunchtime. In this course you'll learn to make a whimsical tree in Illustrator. This project is deceptively simple in appearance, in fact you will learn to use a range of Illustrator tools to make it.

You will use the Width tool, brush profiles, and the Twirl tool for the tree pieces. You will also use the Smooth tool and make and adjust leaves using the Symbol palette and the Symbol Sprayer. You will finish your illustration with a whimsical patterned background that you create using the Repeat and Transform tool and other transformation options. Most of these features work in all versions of Illustrator.
