Adobe Illustrator can be a little tricky to get your hands around, particularly after getting used to the workflow of applications like Photoshop. The differences between layer use and the creation of objects and shapes can be really strange at first hand.

In the following tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a Forklift Truck in Adobe Illustrator. We’ll be creating base shapes using basic shapes and the Pathfinder panel and then adding detailing with gradients and the Appearance panel. Especially we will use effects like: 3D, Blur, Sketch, Warp, Texture…to create a vivid Forklift Truck. Let’s begin!

Final Result

Let’s see what you will be creating in this tutorial.
