Illustrator tutorial: Draw a penny farthing in Illustrator

This new Illustrator video tutorial will show you how to draw a vintage penny farthing bicycle in Illustrator.

Highlights of the process is learning to create the spokes for the bicycle wheels as they can be drawn and rotated to make the process simple. You’ll also see how to create the vintage background which I think is pretty cool too and which is a textured background effect that you can use in other drawings too.

I hope you enjoy this video:
