Any way to draw something like this with artistic media? I set up the sequence of colors with rectangles and created a new brush, but of course it doesn't repeat the 7 colors. The shading of each step would be nice but not necessary.
Make the artistic brush with the full sequence of the coloured squares, not just the first 7 - that way it'll stretch over your path and look correct.
Not in the video: To apply the bevel.
Done.
After applying the soft bevel to each piece:
Thanks for doing all that Mike. I can see where the tricky part comes in, but it doesn't have to be perfect for this project.
Thanks.
You could do it as one line, with one long set of boxes as your brush, but I like my method better for control.
You really need to do this as one line(like I've shown), because if you do it as separate line you'll see a separation between sets.
Perhaps when the boxes are done, put a drop shadow underneath for some depth too.
