Hi all,
as an exercise, I'm trying to reproduce this stock image in AD:
I want the image to be usable for a laser cutter, so no overlapping curves. That was quite a hassle already to be honest (need to expand stroke on the lines, substract one by one,...If there would be tips on that, most welcome . I had to restrain myself to copy the whole thing to ai and work with the shape builder) but worked out quite nicely.
Now I want to replicate the 'cloud bands' on the planet's surface. What would be the best way to go about this? I would think with the pen tool and then change stroke settings to vary line width. But how do I draw those nice, parallel curves that replicate the curvature of the planet?
Thanks!
