Learn how to create a multi layer dimensional flower in illustrator using just one shape.
You will see how to use the Appearance panel to duplicate the shape, fill it with partially transparent gradients and then blend it all together.
The shape also has an optional dotted stroke offset inside all the petals – all done using the Appearance panel.
This is an intermediate level Illustrator tutorial so you will need some basic Illustrator skills to be able to follow along.
