@Adrian16Z4 years ago This is an old video, but if anyone stumbles upon it, an easier way to create the stripes is to simply color the big hexagonal body yellow. Then you id="hidden6" create 3 gray rectangles with an outline. Make sure they extend larger than the body. Finally you can clip mask them to the body and only the parts inside the body will show. Much easier than creating individual horizontal lines and then having to trace each shape. ...Expand 20

@lisahocking80316 years ago Love this logo! What i usually do in regards to colouring the individual rectangles, try highlighting all of the lines + the background shape (so the bees alternatively, what i sometimes do is draw a standard rectangle and copy it however many times you want it, but make sure the top & bottom lines on the rectangles are touching. Highlight all of them and pull them down so that theyre touching the background layer (bees body) make sure all the rectangles and the bees body are selected and click on the shape builder tool. Hold alt and click on the overhang bits (the bits of the rectangle that extend over the bees body) to remove them, and then normal click on each rectangle to turn it into its own shape.
i hope that makes sense! Its very long winded ill happily explain it in more detail if you need it. ...Expand 2
