I then selected the path using the Selection Tool from the Tools Panel and thickened the Stroke to 4pt from the Control Bar.ĭuplicating the path and making it authentic: N ow we need a second path to create the twisted rope effect.Repeat the last step once more so you should now have a second curve or ‘path’ to match the first.

This may be a bit trial and error until you are happy with the end result. Moving the cursor will alter the line to the curve you want. From there choose another point somewhere below right, and repeat the process, but as the handles are appearing, check to ensure the line (connecting the two centre points) that is created follows the curve you want.This will result in a line either side from the central point forming. Select the Pen Tool from the Tools Panel, and while holding down the Shift key, click, and move the cursor horizontally one way or the other.Preferences for the grid can be changed by going to Illustrator > Preferences > Guides and Grids… This can be done by going to View > Show Grid, or cmd/ ctrl + “. A personal preference I find helps for creating a twisted wire that is even is to make the grid visible on the canvas.This is very similar to the two tutorials my tutor showed me that led to the realisation of the DNA double helixes that featured for my Portraitsproject, more of which can be read here but advances it in a couple of ways. This tutorial looks at creating a twisted wire in Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which can be then be turned into a pattern where all sorts of interesting things can be done with it. Here is a tutorial I learnt last week whilst at college, that I had forgotten about until I saw the files on my memory stick.
