I can't align lines on a curved object. What to think?

Question

Design

Hi all.
At the moment I want to make an emblem. Created a base without details. Line alignment fails. Just look at the picture. It can be seen that everything is crooked. I've always wondered how designers make even figures? After all, do not do it by eye. Maybe there are some tricks?

Answer 1

You need straight hands and the ability to work with curves - no tricks can replace this and comes with experience.
Obviously, you need to use a grid (View / Show grid, configurable in Edit / preferences / Guides & Grid) to put points evenly and symmetrically. In this case, you should place a circle (change it to an ellipse, if it's gentle - it's not clear from the picture whether it should be flattened or it's drawn so badly), add an inner circle and then edit the right side to the desired view. At the same time, wielding levers at the points so that it is beautiful and even.
If it is more convenient, you can do it separately - the outer contour and then the inner squiggle. Or even make the upper part, and then mirror and merge. The methods are limited only by imagination and knowledge of the program.

Answer 2

1. Make a drop from a circle.
2. Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.
3. Align it to the horizontal center of your figure, fit it to size.
4. Correct the outer and inner curves of your figure using the outline of the drop.
5 PROFITS!

Answer 3

Buy the MirrorMe plug-in for $55.78 to work with symmetry in conjunction with building on a grid, you can create this figure in no more than 1 minute.

Answer 4

Если в лого много однотипных элементов и паттернов, то:
- Сначала нарисуй на бумаге от руки.
- Определи из каких простых фигур состоит лого.
- Попробуй построить с помощью циркуля и линейки. Так ты поймешь как потом работать с кривыми.
- Найди оси симметрии, закономерность и повторяющиеся элементы. Построй сначала один элемент и сделай из него символ (так ты сразу внесешь изменения во все одинаковые элементы). Трансформируй (отразить зеркально, повернуть и т. п) и расположи экземпляры символа по местам.
- Не забывай про встроенные инструменты программы (построение звезды, волны, деформация и т п).
- Точи и шлифуй.
В общем и целом, построение лого - это как работа по начертательной геометрии :)
