1. Draw flower petals

Step 1

Once you have created a new document (with a width and height of 600 px), use the Ellipse Tool (L) and draw a circle. Any fill color, no strokes. Then replace the existing fill color with a linear gradient. In the image below, you can see exactly what colors are available.

To create a petal from a circle, you need to use the Transform tool (Shift-R). But before using it, let's tweak the options of this tool. Double-click on it, and in the new dialog window, enter Width: Approximately 20, Height: Approximately 20

The arrows on the second flap show the direction of the Shift-R tool.

Step 2

Create a few more copies of the petals and arrange them like the one below.

Step 3

Compose the whole flower as in the previous step. Notice that each new layer is behind the previous layer and has larger petals. You can also move the Gradient Slider for each petal on the Gradient panel (or just click on one petal and press the G button, then move the slider).

Step 4

Using the Ellipse Tool (L), create a circle and set the radial fill color, as shown below.

Step 5

Now press the Alt key and use the mouse/tablet to move the yellow circle you created earlier. You can hold down the Alt key to copy and paste an object as you move it. Once you've created many yellow circles, combine them to reveal the middle part of the flower.

Step 7

Now we need to change the color of the two flowers. Choose the one you want to change, but note that you only need to select the petals, not the middle part. Then go to Edit > Edit Colors > recolor the artwork.

In the new dialog window, select Edit. Look down and find the Link Harmony Color button. Click on it. Move the circle of the thick strokes displayed on the palette at will. See how your flowers change!

Do the same for the third flower.

Make a thick stroke on the Strokes panel, check Round Cap and set the fill color to R = 165 G = 154 B = 0. Draw a meme. Then, reduce the stroke weight and draw the veins. Expands all strokes without filling the color. Select one of the veins or stems you recently drew and go to Select >> same fill color. With all the strokes selected, go to Objects > Unwrap.

Click the Pleat Tool on the Tools panel. If you can't find it, click Shift-R and hold it for a while, then a pop-up menu will appear. Once the Crease Tool is selected, move the top of each vein and trace it to make it clear. Group the entire branch.

The light pink square behind everything will be our background (fill color R = 247 G = 228 B = 232). The size of the background is 600 pixels wide and high. That's it!
